Who it is? Hi Steve and Ellie,
Seems like the earth moved for you in NZ.
Anyway,who is it in the choccy factory with Ellie,you or cousin David(he must have been a stowaway)
LOL,
Uncle Jim.
Happy days! Great blog. Happy memories - especially the reef and that kid. Still say we should have left him out there. Looking at that picture of Steve licking that ants backside - I just knew it reminded me of someone. I just got it ..... Ray Mears!!! Have a blast in the Cook Islands.
G'day!!! Whoop! Whoop! Happy New Year!! Glad you are having such a fab time, love these blogs they generate proper belly chuckles!!! keep them coming. xxx
Awesome holiday - love Oz Only young once! We had a holiday of a lifetime with the best time ever in Australia which was of course, enhanced by the Pommes beating the Convicts :>). The Australians were great sports but was surprising how many Ozzies did not "follow the cricket" when we mentioned the Ashes. Sydney was a beautiful city with everything going for it. Could not believe we were seeing the Sydney Opera House. It was spectacular.
Thanks Becks and Rich for having us over New Years Eve and for the lovely picnic on the beach on new years eve - it was all surreal.
Steve and Ellie - It was sooo good to see you both looking so well. We had a fab time with you both, especially on the Barrier Reef and in the Daintree Rainforest. Enjoy the Cook Islands - really envious. xx
Hello to you both Aussie bums!
It is great to hear your stories and adventures of our fun life in Oz. I am so glad you arrived safe and and sound and have been having a great time. I am very jealous to hear your fun stories of my home country ;-( You are right it is such an expensive place! I'm happy to hear the weather has finally treated you well and you have had some ozzie sun!
What a crazy job it sounds you had, delivering milk. You two crack me up! (that’s you make me laugh in ozzie slang!)
Have a great time up in Carnes and if you wanted humid weather back well you will get it up north that way. BE VERY CAREFUL of crocs and don't swim in the sea up there cause the crocs go out of the fresh water into sae water as well! You will love the nature and beaches up there. You have a great time ;-) If you get a chance stay at a Hostel called 'Gilligans'. It is a fun hostel with a massive pool in the middle where they have foam parties. Behind it is a nice undercover market. There is great water rafting up in Carnes if you like that sort of thing. If you are going out to the out back try and get your selves on this tour www.wayoutback.com.au I have been on this tour as did Bas and it is AMAZING tour that takes you to all the places you must see and do out in the centre.
Well nothing really to say about England except that its cold wet and grey here.............. same old, same old! I will be joining you out in the big old world of travel soon as well!
If you get to Melbourne let me know and I can defo recommend a few places. You may miss it but the Aust Open is really a great thing to go and watch and easy to get tickets and affordable, prior to finals.
Until your next post take care the both of you and keep smiling.
Sara ;-)
P.S You are both looking really well ;-)
Have one (or several) for us!! Hi S & E
Seems like you're drinking your way around the world. Good planning.
Say hello to Sydney for us!
Reccomend a night at the opera, a tad expensive, but worth every penny (or cent or whatever)
Look forward to the next "session" I mean blog.
Jim & Dav.
suparvellous!!! LOL!!! DShould've warned you re the chinese shop rules on all trips, glad you're still having a rocking time, skype me when you get to sydders as will send you details of people we know out there.xxxx
Hi Guys, It its great to read you are still having a great time. Beer O'clock seems to be the theme of most days ;-) and transport isn't your friends ;-( I can relate to your 20 hour journey on hard seats and staring locals, India is the same!
Have an amazing time in OZ. I am very jealous...... obviously. Who knows I could be back soon to join you for a scooner or two!!....
Take care and until your next blog keep smiling.
Sara
Hi! Wow, Wow, Wow!
Your blogs are great! and it sounds like you are both having an incredible time, although in some respects i don't envy you when your on your long 20 hours journeys with no sleeep - but I bet it makes up for it once you reach the chosen destination! :)
Enjoy Oz, (BBQ on the beach for xmas day?!)

The Stapler!!! Not made it, but think it will work!! As you see it's low on alcoholic content:
This is a long drink , as in serve in a highball don't take a long time to drink it oh yeah talking to you 2 LOL!!! - 1 shot cointreau - 1 shot apricot brandy (optional but preferable) - 1 shot gin (not damson!!!) orange juice - shake shak shake - pour over crushed ice top with Champagne or other dry bubbly. Basil leaf and lemon grass (or fresh root ginger) to garnish and infuse with extra freshness and taste - try it let me know, might be god awful!! What with me being a member of the Salvation Army and signing the pledge and all, you know i cannot condone the consumption of alcohol. It'll be the ruin of ye I say! ;-) xxxx
Legendary taxi driver I'm loving his logic! In fact, I spilt my beer whilst reading this entry, so the way I see it- as it's your blog, you owe me £2.50!!!!!
Looks like you're having a fabulous time! Though am rather concered that the majority of your problems revolve around you getting ripped off!!! Talk about chucking it around!
Keep em coming
