We were sad to be leaving Myanmar, after what felt like such a short period of time, but as ever we were excited to be heading to a brand new country. From Inle Lake to our next destination, Sihanoukville in Cambodia, was a bit of a mission, to say the least. We got an overnight … Continue reading
With it’s traditional Vietnamese buildings, multi coloured lanterns, lush green countryside and white sandy beach, it’s no surprise that Hoi An is a very popular Vietnamese destination. It quickly became one of my favourite places on our Southeast Asia trip, and you could tell that many people felt the same way. It was very busy … Continue reading
From Pai we headed straight up to Chiang Rai, which was to be our last stop in Thailand before heading into Laos. The Lonely Planet Southeast Asia guidebook describes Chiang Rai as ‘leafy and well groomed’ and apparently very ‘liveable’, and I have to say I couldn’t disagree more. It’s busy, but there’s not much … Continue reading
Next up was a trip to the small town of Pai. The six of us squeezed onto a small minibus which weaved an wound it’s way through the lush green mountains. It was much more of a squeeze for Rob and Dan who are both over 6 foot, a height not well suited to Asian … Continue reading
So Toby and I have now been travelling the world for a whole year. We had a fantastic 4 months in South America (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia and Peru); a short break in Fiji with Toby’s dad, Alex and sister, Rachel; almost 8 months living and working in beautiful New Zealand and now we … Continue reading
After Invercargill, we headed back up to the tourist hotspot of Queenstown. We had already visited when we were with Clare and Tim, the night before and after the Routeburn. This was a nice opportunity to visit again for a little longer, and see why it gets all the hype it does. A stones thrown … Continue reading
We had been told by friends that we would like Dunedin. It’s a student city, home to the University of Otago; it’s got lots of old buildings (which is unusual for New Zealand). It’s also a stones throw from the Otago peninsula – apparently a New Zealand must-see. It’s also the furthest city in the … Continue reading
After staying in Burkes Pass, not too far from Lake Tekapo, Toby, Grace and I were offered the chance to house sit for a friendly couple who lived in the house next to the one we were renting. They were who we rented our AirBNB cottage from and were going away for the weekend, and … Continue reading
Our trip with Clare and Tim was very fast, so after Franz Josef we visited Lake Wanaka and Queenstown before embarking on the Routeburn Great Walk. I’ll come back to Wanaka and Queenstown in a later post, as we will be returning there again before we leave New Zealand, so hopefully I can go into … Continue reading
I’ve been really useless recently at keeping up the writing on the blog, but from this week that should all change. We’ve spent the last four months or so in Hawkes Bay, and most of our time has been spent working on local orchards. It may sound lovely and quaint, and it is nice working … Continue reading
