Andy's 'hangout' for the weekBula Everyone!
153 days have passed and we have visited 63 destinations in 11 countries, travelled on 24 planes, 5 trains, 9 buses, 7 boats, hired 11 cars and had the best five months of our lives. The trip has taken us to some of the world’s wonders and we have been lucky enough to experience many cultures and meet a lot of great people on our travels.
Our last week was exactly what we planned: seven days in paradise with nothing to do but relax. Fiji is made up of 300 islands scattered across 20,000 square miles and is a stunning country. Some of you may remember the ITV programme ‘Celebrity Love Island’ (a reality show where z-list celebs are sent to an exotic island for a few weeks) which was filmed at the resort we have been staying at. The Fijians have been great hosts and really looked after us during our stay so much so that there isn’t really much to share with you as a routine of sunbathing, eat, sunbathing, eat is all we’ve really done.
Concluding the blog is bittersweet for us so we’ll try to make it a quick as we can!
Taking a break between sunbathing and eating we’ve reflected back on everything we’ve done and pulled together our highlights:
1. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
2. Terracotta Army, China
3. Great Wall of China
4. Sky Dive Queenstown, New Zealand
5. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
6. Great Ocean Road, Australia
7. Tasmania, Australia
8. Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand
9. Fraser Island, Australia
10. Poor Knights Islands, New Zealand
We hope you have all enjoyed reading the blog and we’ve enjoyed reading all your comments and emails that everyone has sent us along the way. We touch down in England on Friday morning and are straight back to the grindstone on Monday. We’re really looking forward to catching up with everyone over the next few months.
Until the next trip...
Andrew & Beccy

Cooeeey.
Hey guys, It's been fun reading your blogs. Sorry your trip is almost over, but it sounds like you've had an amazing time and will certainly have some great memories to take back with you. Tom, Laura and I are getting towards the end of our tour of Asia too, but we're heading out to Australia on the 10th and may stay as long as two years if we get our agricultural work done. Not particularly excited about having to work again, but the funds are low and I'd prefer not to return home in debt. Anyway, just thought I'd wish you well. I should probably get looking at some job vacancies in Autralia now. The bubble has been burst. Take care yo. Dave.
