Rockhampton from what I had read was going to be like the Wild West of Australia so I was instantly quite disappointed when I arrived and there weren't saloons full of cowboys ready for showdowns on the dusty streets outside. Instead it was a fairly standard city full of places advertising the best steak in town as it is the beef capital o…
A little late in starting but have given up on the e-mail essays about the trip and will put regular updates on here from now on with photos and all!
Will whizz you through most of Asia that has been and gone starting way back in November (Thailand, Cambodia and Laos) and then start properly from now in Vietnam, where I have been going it alone.
From there it will be Singapore - to see the sis, Borneo (Malaysia) - to climb a mountain, scuba and play with some orangutans, Australia …

From there it will be Singapore - to see the sis, Borneo (Malaysia) - to climb a mountain, scuba and play with some orangutans, Australia - travelling down the East coast, New Zealand - becoming an extreme sport junkie, Cook Islands - relaxing in the South Pacific, Peru - climbing the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu, Bolivia - doing whatever Bolivia has to offer and finally the USA - San Fran, LA and losing any remaining money in Vegas!
And then I come home to England in July (for summer) or at least that's the plan!

Hi Dave
Up early so haave been catching up on your blogs and photos. Really excellent and interesting. Loved the diving photos too.
Wot an amazing experience you are having and some crazy looking friends to enjoy it with. Did you get rid of Billy no mates in that bar?
Off to France for a weeks golfing on Sunday which will be great. The annual excursion. Think there will be some pretty tough competition as all have improved and been practising. Bit of a nagging shoulder problem at mo so working hard to ease it off before we go.
Had a nice time with G and G who came to stay for a couple of days. Granny loved Meeko. Funny of all the people here Meeko goes absolutely ballistic when Mum gets home. Rampaging round the house at breakneck speed. So funny to see!! Not so keen on me still but is an arch hypocrit as lies by my bed in the morning with legs in the air having his tummy tickled. Great character.
Keep enjoying your travels. Catch you soon
LOL
