Hi all well this is the last leg of the journey and we are feeling a bit weary, but must admit it was so good to get into a nice hotel with clean bedding and hot water. Flight was great to new york there was only about 100 people on plane so we could all have a row each if we wanted and still there were rows of seats left, wish all flights were like this. Arrived at JFK and it was freezing not good. also we had travelled world with backpacks but it was only the americans that wanted to break them open with force and ruin bags, says it all really. slept for at least 12 hours the first night because we had not slept for about a week. but woke up fresh for ... read more

Hi all Well sorry it has taken so long to update this blog but we have been travelling quite alot and its not always been easy to access internet to do this blog. Well after we were both sad to see the end of New Zealand we decided due to funds that we would cut short the trip but still go and see the places that we wanted to see most. So we flew in to santiago and managed to get a taxi to hotel. However when we got there was rather difficult to be understood as they only spoke spanish, and neither of us took much notice of the spanish tapes we brought before we left. oh well we managed to get to the room which was nice. we decided to only spend a small ... read more

Hi All well next installment of our travels, we have had a lovely few days here in sydney and done all the very touristy things like visit the opera house and the bridge also taking the habour crusie to see all the sights. must admit everything looks so much better when the sun is shining. Yesterday we took the ferry over to Manly for the day and that was really nice area the beach was lovely and we watched the life guards having a racing competition in very small boat things, which was good but a bit to much of a posing area. Today we are going to have a look at bondi beach we went to the town now just going to watch more posers on surf boards. just jeaslous really. We are off to ... read more

Hi everyone Thought we had better update our blogg and let everyone at home know we are both ok. We travelled from Malaysia to Singapore by train and that was an ordeal in itself. the trip should have taken 10 hours but took 18 hours cos the train kept breaking down. however us being snobs had booked first class so at least we had our own cabin and beds to sleep in (not bad for £20) beats british rail. flight over to oz was good and we arrived in Darwin in the early hours of the morning so had to hang around airport until 6am until town woke up. then got taxi to our hostel, well i thought i had been sent to prison we open the door to our cell 6ft by 10ft no windows ... read more

Hi all, hope everyone has recovered from the christmas and new year celebrations, hope dan and everyone is home from florida and all had a great time. We have had a busy couple of days finished off seeing the sites in Thailand and visited phuket and the tiger caves. We decided to go to Malaysia for a week before lisa leaves to go back to uk. Must admit the day did not start well. we were due to be picked up by minibus at 6.30am and people who know us will know we were outside by 6.10am eager or what! however when we tried to leave the apartment grounds the night security had locked the 8ft gates and had gone off somewhere, we had no key and could not get anyone up, so what was our ... read more
