Life and adventure Hope you guys are settling well in the UK. It's true what you say about travel and your perception of the world. After being to Africa and recently seeing Blood Diamond I didn't stop crying for half an hour. Seeing and knowing what people face day to day makes your attitude change. But on a positive note there is hope and I know no matter how small we can make a positive impact on the world.
Amazing discoveries While I was following your trip around the world step by step, you guys have exactly pointed out the real meaning of travelling with this "final chapter"...an internship with the Human Being, valuable for any career you may decide to go for...I'm happy for you and hope your example will be followed by others, it's not a matter of where you go but how you go...Wish you good luck for everything!
Well in youse two adventurers Hi dudes, loved your last blog and seeing more of the pics. Yvie, I hear what you say particularly about work and the concept of 'putting all that money into a house' but seriously, we've got another 60 odd years to do all that. Despite now paying off travel debts, Benno and I wouldn't have given up our year of travel for anything, and we're pumped that we could spend some of it with you! We also appreciate home more than we did before + look forward to getting our website up so you can read and see our stuff, but more importantly, reminisce about it all over again. May the force be with you in the UK - write soon and let us know how it's all going. Huge hugs, Bex + Benno. xxx
Wow you mirror my thoughts Guys,
i just stumbled across your latest entry(for some reason the update function is not working) as I set up a blog for our Raleigh expedition here in Costa Rica, as I read your entries I have a tear because what you talk about is exactly and frankly what my experience has brought me to and I agree with everything you say, particularly about the stuff about being able to live happily off nothing.
Ill look forward to seeing you in the Northern hemisphere this summer.
Lots of Love

Awesome Hey Yvette,
Happy New Year! I wanted to let you know that it's been fantastic seeing your holiday memories throughout the year. I have loved reading and catching up with where you are and what wonderful experiences you are having. Lupe - Love him!! How cute! And the beaches in Mexico looked like heaven!
Hey tell me more about this "move to London" in Feb?
Just a quick hello for now chat to you again soon,
Ciao for now,
Love Rebecca.
you change me a lot from this blog~~, i learned a lot ..cause whenever i opened blog, i see place you went to~, which is really diffrent to expectation to the place to what i think before that place..

im always here to wait for you to see you^^
shiori
Heck - sadness I don't believe it. I'm sad it is over for you two too. You have certainly deserved the experiences you have had - you clearly made the most of it!!! The sadness isn't lessened by the fact you are turning on your heels and heading straight to the UK either. I am beginning to feel like I have got it all wrong and I am the one living overseas!!! My exotic Australian adventure - 28 years and counting :)
omedetou! akemashite omedetou gozaimasu! - Happy New Year!
Wow you guys must be home or on a plane now?? Sorry im not in Aus to catch up as Im back in Tokyo!! But il be back in London before you know it (well 2 years maybe..)
Congrats on finishing your trip!
And YES you will be like me and start every sentence with "when i was in".
it's strange that my favourite place in NY is the dog run in Washington Square too... Santi arrives in London tomorrow so will fill him in on all your goings on. NYE at Bondi with Basement Jaxx was "oh my Gosh" good. see you early feb!
Lucky Ducks! What a fantastic trip you've had - something you'll remember all of your lives. I've really enjoyed your travelblogs - you should look at writing some travel BOOKS!! Dom - your mum tells me you'll be spending some time back in the UK which has made her VERY happy I can tell you. Things downunder for this unbronzed aussie are fine - everyone's well and Cat and Mousty are in the throes of buying house/land/mortgage with all the usual trappings - and I mean trappings - some builders really are products of unmarried parents aren't they? !! Have a great time in London and no doubt I'll be kept up to date with your "activities"
Lots of love to you both - Jo
Pretty AWESOME! (The title is the only word we learned in New Zealand) Hi There! We've read your story. Dom dancing! wow! and you guys made it to The Hilton, how cool! Great to read that you had such a great time the last month! Up to the states! We are enjoying ourselfs also very much here. All the best for 2007, and see you in Sydney!?
You lucky Bastards!!!!! Hey there guys its Owen here, finally brought myself to look at your site. It seems almost a distant dream when we were struttung ourselves with Eric Morillo and "Sweet Dreams" in Buenas Airies. Thanks again for the contact for our apartment in Rio, it was the perfect way to end our trip.
Keep living life to the full and seriously dont worry about the cash because when you look at your credit card bill you realise it was worth every last blady penny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merry Chiristmas or as we say in Wales Nodolig Llawen x
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Eve Hey Guys
I see, your trip is finished and I hope it was as unbelieveable as it

Wish you the best for Christmas and a great party for New Year's Eve.
Best wishes from cold Switzerland (damn, no snow here)

To get 11months into 12 on your budget is bloody awesome. Your average folk would be on credit card after 2 hahha.
You guys are looking well! Have an awesome xmas and NY and rest of your trip!!

we like listening to broken records!! Seriously those views are spectacular! The glacier with thunderous chunks of ice sounds cool! I think you could handle a harsh winter in Buxton now YT!!! Granted Antartica may be more 'out there'!! hey and if you've got to eat cheap cheese and bread where better to do it.........
Take care x
HI!! Good to know that you loved my city so much!!! I just want to correct you on 2 things: First: The Emergency´s rooms were NOT closed during the world cup games!!! Trust me I work in one of then!! Second: It´s not Flamenco it´s Flamengo, and that´s the brazilian futbol club with most fans in the world!!!
From Canberra and Buxton to the World's Contintents...
