Goodbye Malaysia After reading about your latest travels, I can honestly say I'm relieved you are on the way home!! Singapore sounded great but I'm not too sure about KL. Please don't bring any bed bugs home for pets! Can't wait to see you back home. Travel safely. Love Chris xxx
Real Camping! Enjoyed reading about your camping trip but still think I will stay in my 4* plus hotel when I go on holiday! Seen any tree frogs lately Mike? Glad you checked Debbie was safe in the lake before you abandoned her! Seriously, you are doing a great job keeping us informed about your trip through the blogs, we all enjoy reading about your adventures, including the food and drink details! P.S. Has Mike recovered from the bed bug bites? Love to both, Chris x
Wow! Wow! What an exciting time, playing the digeridoo, walking through rainforests, getting up close to crocs, snorkling and scuba diving and being sea sick!! You pair are certainly cramming loads into your trip. England will seem so dull when you return! Love reading about all your adventures. Keep up the good work with updated blogs. Lots of love to you both, Chris x
Hey! Alright Mike
It's your bro mate by the way. It's cool reading your blog. Finally got to go to a waterpark that wasn't shut eh !! Looks like you guys are having a terrific time.
Take care
P.S. hope you've not wrecked any beds lately!!

Queensland is awesome I was able to stay and study in Queensland for two years at the Uni of Qld (Brisbane). This part of Australia is really good for tourists and the like who wants sunshine, fresh air, beaches and forest. Unfortunately, I was not able to visit the Australia Zoo, but I did several visits to Surfers Paradise and Byron Bay. Byron Bay is a must see attraction which lies between Gold Coast and the boundary of New South Wales. Dont forget to visit some of the attractions in Gold Coast's theme parks. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Another Hit! And the adventure continues, great read guys. Guess you can add cheese connoisseurs to the skills section of your CV, whilst on the subject of food, the King Kong Vegi Burger you had in Melbourne, now that’s what I’m talking about .. any Mc D’s UK restaurant chain please take note, that’s how real burgers are made and presented. However, on a much more serious note, that Devil Wallaby looks like one straight out of a horror film, I mean, what else could have started the fire (unbeknown to Mike) in the background ;)
Keep up the good work and best regards!!!
P.S.
Our UK prison's are almost full apparently, might recommend leasing the Port Arthur Penitntiary to the Home Office!
Tassie! Hi Debbie,
I'm so pleased to see that you made it to Tassie! I told you it was worth going over Bass Strait! I'm really jealous now as well, wish I was there as well. Hope you're having a fantastic time, it certainly looks like you are!
Love

Devil Wallaby You may not have seen a Tasmanian Devil on your visit but the Devil Wallaby in the photograph with the red scary eyes frightened me! Are you now qualified as an official ghost hunter Deb? - a new career awaits(you were fed up with fly investations!!) Look forward to reading about your Canberra trip. Chris x
Watch out Skippy! Warning to all kangaroos! Mike and Debbie are acquring a taste for kanagroo bolognese. English food will seem so boring when you get back! Keep up the good work on the blog, interesting reading as always. Love to both, Chris xx
Hello Hi guys

I cant believe how many things you've done and seen already.

the photos are great, they are like picture postcards.
There is some news for you Debbie, Emma G has had a baby girl!!

Really Brave!! Deb - That looks suprising like a blue Tounged Skink!! Think I might have seen one somewhere in Manchester?!! How much did you pay to see that I might start charging people to visit my house?!! xx
Great start to Oz! You two certainly know how to have an adventure! What a great start to your travels in Oz, glad I didn't know anything about it until you were safe. How ever difficult the situation, you still manage to give food details!! Fantastic photos as usual - keep up the good work. Look forward to reading the next instalment. Love Chris x
Great Photos I must say that other than being extremely envious of you both, I'm determined to take a trip out of New Zealand...Tuatapere and Dunedin will definitely be on the list following your recent exploits. Great blog guys, keep em coming!!
Thanks for the Geography lesson Hi Deb, read your geography account, pleased you have made good use of knowledge gained from Uni! Not too sure about you training as a barmaid!!
Brave Mike! Mike, I think you are either very brave or MAD to do a bungy jump. I'm glad Debbie decide not to do one - phew!! Seen the photgraphs to prove you actually did it! Well done Debbie to capture the moment.
Happy Birthday Debbie Hi it's me at last. looks like you're both having a fantastic time.Mike where did you get that dress from, i want one just the same.i can send you a cheque in the post!!!!!!!!!.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!! Happy birthday Debbie!!!!!
looks like you're having a great time, sure you'll have a fab birthday.The photos look really good, i'm very jealous. Seeing a new side to Mike though, dressing up in drag for instance!!
It's exciting seeing and hearing about your trip as it happening, keep up the blogs and having a wicked time.

Screaming! I can still hear Debbie screaming! No, seriously I think you were both very brave to go skydiving. Something to tell the children in the future!!
(I hope!!) Chris x
Don't forget Debbie Read your account on Tongariro Crossing, don't leave my Debbie behind, she might get lost and you promised me you would look after her! PS Love your headgear in the pub Mike, suits you! can't wait to read the next instalment. Chris

Great photograhs Fantastic photographs! I feel as if I have been with you on your excursions - bet you're glad I didn't!! Really enjoy reading about your travels. Looking forward to hearing about New Zealand. Chris.
Meh That beach doesn't look as nice as Blackpool. And sarongs? Dude, that is SO 1999...
Did you see the algae? I know it only comes out once a year, but maybe no-ones ever asked it nice enough...
This is a travel blog for me, Mike and my girlfriend Debbie. We're both from the UK, me from Manchester and Debbie is from Wem (in Shropshire). We're off traveling for 6 months starting 17th January 2007. We're mainly going around New Zealand and Australia. We've also got stops out in Toronto, LA then Fiji. On the way back we're calling in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.... full info
