Alack and alas but this is the final blog from Aotearoa or New Zealand depending on what you call it... And due to the Aotearoan's love of Dub music and our happening to be Dubs, the pun was unavoidable, cheesy but unavoidable! Once we left Dunedin, Gertie was pushed to her max as we sped along, trying to get to Methvin on time to meet up with Alaistar, a childhood friend from Donegal, and now ... Read Full Entry

Yay, we're finally on the road! After years of excited and nervous planning we took the plunge and left our jobs, rented out the house, said goodbye to the folks and friends, got married (well, you've got to be sure your travel buddy's there for you!) and headed off for places unknown.

Aw!
Aw lads what an amazing trip that was! Hope you're all doing well in South America and Wellington (if you're reading Sean!) and that we all have another adventure soon. By the way, are the amount of photos of us stuffing our faces really proportionally representative of the trip??? Scary...
