And so dear readers this is the final entry as to my time in Australia. This truly has been the holiday of a lifetime and its hard to pick out the highlights of the trip as everything has just simply been superb. You find me sitting in the Air New Zealand lounge with a glass of chardonnay and a tucking into a rather nice lamb curry and trying to think how I can conclude my writings. I hope you have enjoyed reading my adventures as much as I have enjoyed writing them, I know that I have only really scratched the surface of this most fantastic and inspiring country. True you have to travel thousands of miles to experience it, but thats part of the magic - like opening the next window on your advent calendar ... read more

Well helllllllloooooo there!!! It's us again, I bet you will be glad when we are back so that you don't get these emails from us!! Lol! Well we are in Sydney Airport... and we knew we shouldn't have said anything about not being delayed!!! We have an estimated 2 hour extra wait!! Woo hoo!! But anyway we have had a great time in Sydney and we will definately be back here as well!! Yesterday afternoon we went whale watching!! It was a real chilled out time and we saw eight humpback whales, we didn't see them come out of the water (breaching) like you see on the movies or pictures, but we saw most of their bodies at different times and they liked splashing about! Once again Rob got snap-happy, making full use of the continuos ... read more

Well avid readers of the blog, I only felt it fair to reflect on the first week's trip of Rob The Poms Aus-O-Rama - I cant believe that I have only been in the country 5 nights, it feels much longer and that to me is a good thing. The Aussie way of life is really something quite hard to beat. Sure they work hard, and that is evident as you walk around the capital and watch the Sydneyers around Circular Quay rushing off the ferries to their work place but what you also note is the work life balance - something the majority of us I am sure would pine for. There really is no early to work late to finish mentality here, and it almost seems frowned upon if you do. The motivation is ... read more

Hello! Well I have just arrived in Oz! Its raining, and im reallly cold for the first time in ages! I dont like it! Had a crazy last week in thailand! Went to the full moon party! (basically a massive rave on the beach with loads of music and ram packed full of people on the sand sea...everywhere!!) That was a crazy night and most nights in ko phangan were about drinking buckets! Soooo cool, but deadly! Then went back to Ko Tao to complete my advanced diver training! So im now officially an advanced diver! That means I can do better places when i get up north in Australia (Cairns, great barrier reef etc). Then back to Bangkok where the crazyness started! I have now left everyone and met leah today! There wasnt much acommodation ... read more

I know i asked for an adventure, but havent quite anticipated on it happening so early in the journey. At the chek ihn counter I almost couldnt board because I didnt have any return flight. I had to show the crew mz Vietnamese visa, US visa, and promise that I do have the flight just not printed, before she issued me the boarding pass. I then farewelled mz mother and sister, which wasnt nearlz as emotional as I thought itd be ' no tears shed (but i think there were more than enough over the last two weeks anzwaz) p.s. someone has swapped the keyboard so the z and y are swapped around and all the punctuations are different. so apologies for the misspellt words. cant be bothered to change them all. does anyone know how ... read more

Ok so I arrived safely in Kunming. After spending a delightful 16 hours on the plane it was good to finally get to a shower! Got up at 5am today and was strangely excited to be out of bed at this time for some reason. Krunch was still asleep so i may have stepped on her when i got out of bed (can you clarify Krunch and also put some photos up?) Anyways we left home at 6:10 (after a delicious breakfast of chicken and salat olivia - mums egg and potato salad - and damn am i gonna miss you cooking mum and Zoya!) and got to the airport at liike 6:40 (pretty awesome time coming from the Comptontown). Had a teary moment staring at the sunrise and the mist and how i will miss ... read more

Thanks to Ed Cannan not teaching his son the importance of reading military time, we were turned away from the check-in desk at Sydney airport for arriving 5 hours too early! Sure we needed to get here early to score Dave a luxurious exit seat to house his mammoth tree trunks for the 9 hour journey to Honolulu, but 5 hours?!?! come oooonnnn! All was not lost however. We experienced CELEBRITY SIGHTING #1 in the hoax-checkin-line. Paul Mac was immediately ahead of us, slightly balding, mildly grey-speckled and a little bit smelly. Looked as though he'd flown in for a gig, missed a night of sleep and was heading straight back out of Sydney this afternoon. So he COULD have been on our flight to Honolulu, had he been as incapable of reading 24 hour time ... read more
