Hello, long time no see. We have been in India for a week now and so far it has been lovely and not so lovely. We had our first four nights in Mumbai which we really liked. It was nothing like we expected, everyone tells you it is a massive culture shock but we didn't find that. The temp was lovely as well, like a warm summers day at home. We stayed at the YWCA which was really nice as breakfast and dinner were included. This was a nice introduction as it...

It's our last day in New Zealand today, tomorrow we fly to India (via Australia and Singapore unfortunately!). We've spent the last two weeks in the campervan travelling around the North Island. We started in Wellington which was a nice city, visited the National Museum, Parliament, Botanic Gardens and rode the historic old cable car.

It goes ridiculously fast along the warped old railway lines and as there's only on...

We met up with our friends Neil and Ali in Ho Chi Minh and spent a few days there with a trip out to see the Cao Dai Temple (the home of a modern Vietnamese religion) and the Cu Cu Chi tunnels which the Vietcong used in their guerilla war on the South. We then spent a couple of days bussing and boating around the Mekong Delta and stayed in a homestay on a small island which was cool. Got a boat up to Phnom Penh in Cambodia - one of t...
