We are taking a year to travel around Southeast Asia. We fly out to Australia on the 17th Dec and will spend Christmas and New Year staying with family in Sydney. We are then going to fly to Auckland and spend a couple of months in New Zealand before returning to a round tour of Australia for another couple of months.

We would have been glad of the fake pants, as this morning we almost lost our clothes, when the washing lady had given them away to someone else!
