Hi everyone, hope you are well. The last blog I wrote was just as we arrived in Koh Phagnan. We stayed at a place called Boom's Café, which I'd highly recommend. It was quite cheap for an aircon room which was right on the seafront and the woman in charge was brilliant (we called her Mama Boom). She was extremely friendly and her Thai food was top notch. Koh Phangan was definitely a party island, although from Boom's Café you were out of the way, so if you ...

Hi everyone. It's been 2 weeks since I last wrote a blog and it's been all go, as we have travelled from Brisbane up to Thailand. I am currently in Koh Phagnan, as island just off of Thailand where the famous full moon party takes place (which is on Saturday night). On 1 July we spent our first full day in Singapore.

Hi all. I am currently in Brisbane after a relaxing week in Fiji. The weather today is fantastic and we have all just walked around the city.

Fiji was a fantastic week, ...

The day before we arrived in Airlie Beach we have a brief stop over in 1770/Angus Water. Walking down the beach there were a few old flip flops which didn't give us much encouragement wh...

Hi everyone. First of all I'd like to apologise, I have only just noticed there is a message board on here and I have just read everyone's comments. Good to hear from everyone. In answer to Hilda and Patsy's question I haven't sung the Fields of Athenry yet, I'll try make sure it happens before the end of the trip! The last time I wrote I had arrived in Byron Bay. We ended up staying there for about five nights to recover from the surf camp and to organize the re...
