After 3 months in Australia, we finally arrived in the fabled capital - Sydney. As soon as we were able we hot footed it onto a train to Circular Quay (where all the cool stuff is). As soon as you approach the station you are smacked with surprise as both the bridge and opera house suddenly burst forth into your eyeline, so near and in the same view. We were giddy to go and walk about and among them. We felt like we had won the gameshow. These were things that p...

Soooo, it's been a while since we told you that we were going to travel to Melbourne via the infamous Great Ocean Road - in a HUGE campervan - so without further ado here's our tale of the journey to and our stay in Melbourne. We arrived at the rental place and were immediately taken aback by just how big this campervan was. We were scared. Then we were told that this was in fact the 'small' one - ours was round the back.

Chile ? The Chile ExpressFirst to say we?ve been a bit busy and a bit rubbish lately, so Chile and New Zealand are coming in two at a time? we hope you?ll manage to read both! We had arrived in Chile with 15 days to spare before having to leave it. We decided to see as much as we could, but being a shade tired after the excitement of the salt flat trip (and the shoddy accommodation involved in it!) we figured the best thing to do was head straight for the beach. ...
