Hi everyone for the last time! 13 months after we started our trip and wrote our first blog from an internet cafe in Rio De Janeiro we are finally writing our last installment. We are sitting on our couch in Edinburgh on a dreary Sunday afternoon reminiscing about the long sunny days we enjoyed in so many places over the last year. It all seems so long ago now!!! We arrived back to Ireland from Bangkok on the 24th June and spent the whole month of July catching...

Hello everyone, Well, we have made it home safe and sound!!! After almost a year of travelling we finally caught sight of the green fields of Ireland again on the 24th June. We had a brilliant end to our trip. We spent 7 nights on the islands in the south of Thailand and then 3 days in Bangkok shopping like lunatics!

We can't believe our India and Nepal leg of the trip is over already! Time flies......you know how it goes! Just a 'quick' update on the past 10 days. We flew to Goa on the south-west coast and it was like arriving in another country! We left the noise, the craziness, the melting heat and the traffic of northern India b...
