Ok, well, last update from this part of the world! We are leaving New Zealand in less than 48hrs and heading to South America, on an 11.5hr flight, arriving there, before we actually set off. We are probably the furthest away we will be from home right now, and the next flight starts the slow journey back to home. Once again we've been blessed with loads of friends who have made New Zealand another awesome experience, so thanks to Lou and Mike, Nigel and Gill a...

New Zealand, the land of hobbits'zs and and extreme sports (to the max)!!!! A very strange route around the country and some more awesome friends. Where shall we start, Auckland would be a good place, hiking up a volcanic island and camping on the beach on Wahike Island got us off to a good start before we caught up with Lou and Mike. We headed South to attempt the "worlds best one day walk" the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and suddenly realised that the...

Another country down, and we arrived in New Zealand at a very unsociable hour, after a bumpy plane ride to be be met by New Zealnd customs, who decided to test my tent for biosecurity hazards (mud!) and confiscate some seeds which were stuck on Emma's shoe! Since we last wrote, we have had many adventures in Oz, and been looked after by the most amzing people (you know who you all are). We SCUBA dived the Great Barrier Reef, and bumped into a few turtles and a m...

G'day, it's been a while but here's the latest! We left you in Perth, before boarding the Indian-Pacific for 2 days of nothing, and very nice it was too, before reaching Adelaide in time for Australia Day and world record attempt on the beach. This involved having the most people in the water at Glenelg Beach on giant 7ft inflatable "thongs" or (take not Aussies) FLIP-FLOPS as they are properly called. Over 800 people and some organised chaos later it...

We left Kansas (I mean Borneo) via Singapore and landed in the merry old land of Oz. Its 42 degrees right now in Perth, and while theres no yellow brick road, there are white beaches, blue skys and Australias version of lions and tigers and bears (kangaroos, kookaburras and the biggest spiders in the world EVER!!!!). A few days couchsurfing in Perth to recover from travelling, we headed to Freemantle and hired a car, to make the 4 hour journey south to Margare...
