Leaving LA after only a day or two was tough as there is always more to do, but we do love a bit of nature and we had been told Big Sur was going to satisfy that craving for us...we were'nt disappointed! The area up this stretch of California coast has barely anyone living in it as the terrain is so dramatic that there is little for people to do here apart from a bit of foresty and tourist stuff at pit stops. Photos don't really do it justice, but the views of t...

We've arrived!! After an 11 hour flight and all of our travels around the World we have finally arrived in the US of A. We landed on 3rd July to catch the 4th July celebrations and thought 'lets nip to the beach on the way to our accommodation'. Urgh.....2 hours later we arrived in Santa Monica. The beach was gorgeous and not very busy and we spent a lovely 30mins walking along the beach and stopped for an iced coffee. All very L.A. We actually saw people roll...

After our amazing camper van experience and zipping all over Australia we were in need of some R & R and luckily Fiji was our next stop.

After a short bus ride to our hotel we headed to our Bura (bungalow) with a spring in our step. Unfortunately our first night was disrupted by the noisy road behind us ...

This 100 year old 'planned city' (that is basically the result of Melbourne and Sydney not being able to decide who should be capital) was our base for catching up on blog postings, booking somewhere to stay in Fiji and LA and doing our tax rebates...exciting stuff!! Some people go to the National Library to look around, we went for the free internet and cheap printing. It was a...

After switching all our gear from one crappy camper to another crappy camper (but with all the doors working) we made our way a few hours down to Byron Bay. Everyone goes to Byron Bay it seems. The place was choc a bloc with young thin 20 somethings (so we fitted right in), but next to no one in the sea as it was bit fresh. The town was pretty laid back and people seemed pretty carefree, just wandering round saying "dude" and "bro" and other far-out things. The b...
