8-11 June: Four Walls and a Few Mates
Prior to starting our trip, we were really looking forward to the camping leg. Getting out, driving around, meeting people in campsites and sharing some drinks with our new found friends. The camping has been fantastic, great to get back to basics in some amazing country. However, there have been a few things which we […]

20-23 May: In Seine in the Membrane
With our strategically date transferred tickets, we left Vietnam a week early with the guise to surprise a schoolmate of mine (Seb) in Paris for his 30th birthday. I’d love to say that the idea was mine, but Seb’s wonderful wife Doreen was the mastermind…. We arrived into Paris at about 6am and with customs, […]

10–16 May: Angkor What?
(Kam) I am sure that there are going to be many times when my pitifully limited vocab will not be able to express the sites that we experience. The temples of Angkor are most defiantly one of those occasions. Duncan and I arrived in Ho Chi Minh and immediately started planning a side trip to […]

27 April-1 May: Hooray for Hoi An
I don’t know whether Kam and I are now getting used to Vietnam, or whether in fact each place we stop is getting better and better. Whatever the reason, Hoi An has been an amazing stop for so many reasons; for beauty, for relaxation, for food and for friends. Safe with our newly purchased “open […]

10-14 April: Goodbye New Zealand
So today is our last day in New Zealand, and we are spending it in a palatial hotel room in extremely close quarters to Auckland International Airport (cough cough). So tomorrow morning we fly out at 7am to Hanoi (via Hong Kong) so we dare say that this is the last of NZ that we’ll […]

8–10 April: It’s HOT, HOT, HOT springs!
We have had such a great time in NZ, and considering we only made up our mind to come here a few weeks prior to arriving, it has been an amazing stop! What we have to take out of NZ is it is definitely the land of extremes. Extreme highs (hot springs temperature), extreme lows […]

4-6 April: Auckland Arrivals
Hi all! So it’s officially happened. We are now overseas, although the friendly people, the relaxed atmosphere, and the similar (but still yet funny) accents make us feel like we’ve never left! Currently Kam and I are sitting in an awesome pub built in 1864, sipping down some local ales, and munging on a bowl […]

Just so that people know where we are going and what we are doing – After Asia, Kam and I are heading to France/Spain and Portugal for around 2 months. We are flying into Paris, and flying out of Madrid. We haven’t got any plans as of yet, but hopefully we’ll catch up with some […]

Goodbye Nihon, Hello NZ!
So because Japan has decided to throw all natural tragedies into a big pot and stir them, we have decided to leave Nihon til next time. The Earthquakes weren’t worrying us, the volcanos didn’t concern us, the tsunami was getting a little worrying, however, although I would have paid good money to be turned into a superhero, I […]
