After spending the last month in Brisbane with Jez & Kirsty we came down to Melbourne at the weekend. God what a shock to the system! Leaving 28 degrees & sunshine to come to 8 degrees and rain, it was like arriving in Manchester! Had a great time in Brisbane with Jez & Kirst, learning the art of sign writing and making the most of the weekends going up & down the coast. Thank you so much guys for making us so welcome and putting up with us for...

Apologies for the lack of pictures and blogs! cant keep blaming it on the lack of internet connection or having no laptop, we;ve just been enjoying ourselves! Well we have been in Australia now for about 8-9 weeks and are loving it. We spent our first 6 weeks in Perth staying with Robyn & Paul. We had the most amazing time staying with them at their lovely houses in Fremantle & Bridgetown down towards margaret river. Definately recommend the West Coast...

I'm slowly getting more up to date with letting you know what we have been up to, but will keep it reasobably short and sweet as 1 I don't want to bore you and 2 I'm really hungry! We arrived in Hanoi and got picked up by our hotel with a board saying 'Ricardo' which was nice - so far we have also had Mr Richard a few times! It was a 35KM trip to the city so we sat back and enjoyed the views.  It was really quite bizarre as the roads into the city were build...
