Egypt

Honeymoons don’t come around often so Hayl’s and I agreed on Egypt, a country that had long intrigued us and one we’d often spoken about visiting. Being such a special occasion we steered away from our usual form of budget travel and splashed out on a

India

The signs say ‘Welcome to Delhi Airport’. They’ve obviously lost something in translation because they should say ‘Welcome to the Gates of Hell’. Or at least that’s just our take on our 8 days in India. We’d heard lots of horror stories about trave...

Thailand - Take Two

“Cabbages & Condoms” the restaurant sign had read, its true meaning typically lost in the Thai-lish translation. God it felt good to be back in Bangkok where everything makes sense… even when it doesn’t. Robs’ arrival brought a welcome injection...

Cambodia

A quick update for a brief section of our trip. The final leg of our circular South East Asia trip was a 10 day trip through Cambodia before heading back to Bangkok. Our method of arrival was via speedboat, the luxurious option compared to another butt...

Vietnam

"The bees," our guide announced, indicating the hive in front of us, "are tourist-friendly, just like the Vietnamese people." Tang smiled, trying to assure us that we could hold the hive for photos. I was delighted at the unintentio...

Thailand & Laos

Away from the good fortune of being able to house up with friends and family, and the relaxation of Fijian beaches, we found ourselves in full backpacker mode by arriving in the chaos that is Bangkok at just after midnight. Since leaving the relaxation...

Fiji - Bula Time

Bula everybody, I gather from the various nudgings we've had that I've been rather slack in getting the Fiji section of our trip updated on the site. My excuse is that I'm still recovering from 17 days on "Bula time" which is so chilled it...

New Zealand

A brief and simple statement from Chief Ross Orsmond has summed up the NZ leg of our trip absolutely perfectly, "Nature is freaking me out on this trip". We have been absolutely spellbound by the incredible variety of spectacular sights i...

Every adventure is solicited by the good, the bad and ralphy and the following is an account of our travels on the East Coast of Australia: Arriving in Port Douglas it didn’t take long to realise that Far North Queensland might be heaven if it wasn’...

Perth - Blown away down under

Recording of an actual conversation overheard on Scarborough beach one sunny RDO day: An Australian guy walking along a beach spies two pretty Sheila’s sunning themselves on the shore. He walks over to them and says to the one, “Hi there, are you Au...

South Africa - Potjie and Padkos

The first leg of our trip done and what a leg it was. We’ve eaten like kings, seen some great sights and caught up with loads of family and friends. South Africa has indeed been good to us! Our first week back home was spent with our folks, mostly jus...

Malta - Open Water Style

Our second trip to one of our favourite places took the form of a surprise birthday trip for me from Hayls. An unreal prezzie and no pressure come the 15th of the 10th! No longer than 40km's long and 30km's wide Malta is a mad little island full of an...
