We really caught the diving bug and after much umm-ing and ahh-ing decided to go ahead and book the advanced divers course, despite the lack of money. It was well worth it though, 6 more dives and half of them were unguided and not under instruction. Finally diving freedom! Actually looking forward to going home to do some wreck dives now. The advanced course allows us to dive to 30 meters instead of 18 which is best because most wrecks are 25 meters deep (ish). ...

Sorry haven't been updating, been quite busy as we are constantly on the move! This will be a quick update of what we have done and are doing. When we arrived in Sydney we picked up the campervan, it was disappointing to say the least but it would have to do for the month as we'd already paid for it! Although it gets worse, more to follow... We stayed in a campsite in the Royal National park for 4 nights. It was right on the beach and about 30 mins from any mai...

Just as we were pulling into the village on a table there was a...

Its been a while since last post because have been so busy but I'm going to try and catch up over the next couple of days so keep coming back.

History-wise, you'll have to google it but more recently it was majourly destroyed by the US during the war. Other than most of the buildings being des...

Mui Ne was supposed to be our stop for a few days hitting the beach but the weather said otherwise. It was a deserted town! We arrived and went to find dinner but everywhere looked closed. After walking for a while we found a seafood restaurant with tanks full of lobster, crab and fish. It was as if all the staff were there to serve only us and they stood around talking and laughing (probably at us, that seems to be quite common. I think its joel, they like shor...
