It's been a fun 9 months but it's time to go. We've sold Max, we've spent our kids inheritance on flights to get home and we're off to Singapore on Thursday. We'll travel on land from there through Malaysia to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and probably Laos. Then back to Thailand for our flight on January 24th to Hong Kong. We'll be in Hong Kong for the first 2 days of the Chinese New Years - this should be quite the sight, then on to Tokyo on January 27th for abou...

You left our intrepid/lazy wanderers as we returned from Tasmania.W e spent 2 very nice days in Melbourne. Lots of markets, lots of bakeries, lots of walking. For the first time in 7 months we slept outside of our van in a hotel in a trendy district.

After about 20 minutes of sitting and wondering if we were in the right spot at the...

From there we drove along the frigid coast of Eastern South Australia - thank goodness Thomas' van has a heater and he also provided us with a spare sleeping bag - we had a couple of really cold nights. On to the Great...

Hi ho folks. We'll, as you may have noticed from the pin in the map we are on the move. We dragged our feet down the east coast but as things got more populated and cooler we picked up the pace a bit. Stops in Bonny Hills where we, taking an unpowered campsite got to park in front of everyone else and had only a bit of lawn in front of us before our beautiful panoramic ocean view. Seal Rocks where we chatted with a 75 year old couple that were just so neat and i...
