Sydney Beautiful pictures of my lovely harbour. Understand that you are now in New Zealand and going skiing. Some people have all the luck. School is a nightmare and I CANNOT WAIT until the end of term!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sydney Thanks for your latest photos they were lovely. It was nice to see your pictures from such a well known landmark. Hope you enjoyed the climb, a bit mean of them not to let you take your cameras, no doubt another opportunity for them to make money out of visitors!! Hope you had a great birthday Chris, it was lovely to speak to you. I am glad your trip to Christchurch went ok. Make sure you get yourself some warm clothes. Let us know where you get to on your travels and drive carefully when you get the car. Love you loads Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Chris and Caroline. Fantastic pictures and write up! You can't have had as much rain as we have? Sounds like you will really be sad to move away from Oz. You both look really great on the pictures and lucky to meet to some great friends. Chris I put some money in your account as a birthday present. Treat yourself to something special. Can't wait to see you both now and counting the days down. Chris hope to speak to you on your birthday. Have a great time. Luv you both. Keep Safe. Dad F xxx
A WHALE of a time!!! Hello to you both - Good to hear from you at last, beginning to think you'd forgotten us!!!! Glad to hear things are still going well, your latest photographs seem fantastic and looks like you are having a whale of a time!!!!!(ha) Hope you enjoy your birthday treat Chris, be careful when you are climbing up the bridge and hold on tight.(Sorry a mum comment!) Hope to speak to you at the weekend. Enjoy Sydney and look sfter each other. Love Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Camping What is the Maheno wreck? When did it go down? You look to have had an amazing time - what fun. I suspect the weather is not too good now in Australia - must be their winter time? Time to move on? Come home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sailing You look to have had an amazing trip. It is great when you meet up with a group of people you get on with - very lucky. Hope your fascination with the sharks is kept to arms length - pretty nasty most of the sharks I saw in Oz. Write soon - tons of love Mum
Just wanted to say how much fun we had when we went to Fraser Island! We wimped out and took the cushy accomodation, but it was still brilliant.
Made some great friends there, just like you did from the look of things.
Take care! Kara xx
p.s. you are making me SOOO jealous!!! :D
This looks to be your best-value trip so far. What an adventure, above and below the waves, it appears to have been!
Sorry to hear about the leaks.
Did you make soup with them?
Great to see you've had such a good time and made a nice bunch of friends. The photos show you must have had a great time, I'm surprised you could remember any of it though going by the number of pints on the tables!!! Your dingo experience must have been scary. Good to speak to you yesterday. Hope you enjoy Brisbane. Loads of Love Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
boat trip dear chris and caroline, we can't believe the beautiful sights you are seeing you are so lucky to witness what a beautiful place the world is you have seen and been to so many exciting and exotic places that we can,t believe just what you have covered, so keep on with the good work and enjoy every minute. We are in the middle of selling our house we are hoping to buy a bungalow, yesterdayl was Fathers day Grandad got plenty of Whisky to keep him going for a while, and a twenty pount garden voucher of your Mum which we will buy a tree when we find our new dream home wherever that may be. We are still enjoying happy times in the caravan having just spent a week in it with Debbie and the two kids who are a real handful at the moment but good fun. Bye for now Take Care Love G/Dad G/Mumxxx
Parrots Just shown David your pictures of the parrots so that has made him very jealous. Katie still not taken off yet - 5 hours late - hopefully she will get off (for Canada) soon though now. Magnetic Island looks great - like the crocodile!!
Reef What lovely pictures - the camera seems to be really good. How amazing to spot that shark. I saw the previous pictures of the cassowary as well - can't believe how big they are. I thought they were really dangerous. Katie and Sarah are flying to Canada today but their flight has been delayed by four hours at least which is a bit of a pain for them. They got to Stansted really early for once! Beautiful photos again I will print them off and show Gran. tons of love Mum
hellooo The photos are just amazing - you guys must be having such a great time - am still very jealous!! Lots of things I have taught about but never seen! The Barrier Reef photos are superb - and you have seen so much wildlife (with close encounters!!) - Is it NZ next? I am in process of buying a house - so I don't think I will get to do what you are doing for at least a while! Enjoy! look forward to seeing the next set of pictures!
Great pics! Just opened your last blog. Pictures look great. Not so sure about the snake Chris? Looks great fun. Which makes me even more jealous as its been raining heavy all week here! Anyway England won the cricket for a change but Flintoff out for the rest of the summer. Hope you have got over the football - Liverpool but looks like you have lots to do - not too much drinking I hope! Glad to see you both well. Keep in touch even though the computers are not too good. Love to you both Dad F xxx
G'day mate! Just realised that you have added another 2 blogs, the photos are great and the places you were staying in were interesting!!! It must have been great to finally hold a koala. What was your bush tucker breakfast??? Fantastic pics again. Loads of love Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
On the reef Hello Chris and Caroline. Another great set of photos and some fantastice sights. What an experience seeing so many wonderful fish and you seem to be real experts underwater now. I hear that you are now on the move again, where is your next port of call? Did you decide whether you were going to get another camper van? What are your plans over the next few weeks. I know you are heading towards Sydney for your journey to New Zealand, will you be in Sydney for your birthday Chris? Keep loooking after each other and stay in touch when you can. Love you loads MumFxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reefers Can't keep off the reef can you? You will be coming Home looking like the man ( and woman from Atlanta) Looking at your photo's bring nostalgic memories of the fantastic world of the reef, and the magic of being in another wonderful dimension. When you eventually get back home you will have a superb pictorial of your adventure's keep 'em coming' Blue'Stay Sharp Stay safe Love G/ Dad G/Mumxxx
Rainforest Brilliant photos you two. Great to speak to you on Saturday darling. We had a lovely day with Gran on her birthday and she loved speaking to you. Katie has her last exam today so she will be CELEBRATING. Speak soon - tons of love - Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Aussie Adventures G'Day to you both. Great to speak to you this morning and I'm glad to hear things are still going well. Hope the hangover has gone Chris!!! Your rainforest adventure sounded fantastic and your night walk under the canopy must have been awesome. You were both very brave to do it though, I don't think I could have with all those creepy crawlies!!! Your campervan looked cosy and it must have been nice to have a bit of freedom on the open road. I hope Mission beach is as good as it sounds, will you be doing any work on your way to Sydney? Don't forget you can stay at Gillians just outside Sydney before you leave. Hope you are still both feeling fit and well. I thought you would go back to the Barrier Reef a second time - too good an opportunity. We've been to Colchester Zoo today, a good day but not so spectacularas what you've seen, although we did see some tree kangaroos like you saw. Anyway enjoy the next leg of your adventure. Keep safe and look after each other. Miss and love you loads MumFxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Welcome to our travelblog site. Over the next 12 months keep up to date with all our adventures as we try to make it around the world. Starting off by flying to Delhi on the 14th September 2006, we are hoping to make it through as many places as our money will take us.
It's been a while coming, but with after graduating from Uni and decided enough was enough at work, we headed to the travel agents to buy these tickets. An easy decision really and realising that we might just have the money to do this, or at least get us half way, we finally paid up and there was no turning back.
