My bus to NYC was late morning so I was slightly rushed when I set off to walk to the station. I got a swift peek at the Liberty Bell, swarming with Japanese tourists so barging my way through with a giant backpack went down like a ton of bricks, almost literally as if I'd have fallen over I'd have taken them all out with me!

So I'm downing tools and going on a jaunt across the world with Nina, my trusty sidekick (don't tell her I called her that). I like to think of us as Cagney and Lacey, taking on the world together, but the result is likely to be more Laurel and Hardy with us leaving a chaotic wake of mishaps strewn behind us as we blunder our way through South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America.

A bonzer time in Sydney then Becs. Although clearly not quite the grand metropolis you expected it to be! But I'm sure it was all made up for by the 5* luxury night in the hotel. Bliss I'm sure.
Lots more photos to enjoy too. You do realise that you are about 3/4 of the way through your trip! Talk about time flying when you're having fun.
Keeps the Blogs coming, always entertaining, nay one could say informative too. :o)
Love, Dad. xxx
