We arrived back in Rocky at the end of last week after our massive 5 week trip down the east coast of Australia and round Tasmania (I know it's part of Oz, you don't need to remind me) by road. The last few days of the trip were relaxing and stressful ... Read more >

Written by Lydia, Australian Citizen, cold. As you no doubt know, and will recall from previous journal entries, it is summer in Australia. So why I've got a jumper, long trousers and wolley socks on whilst sitting beside a log fire is a little ... Read more >

Entry written by Ms Lydia age 27 and 2 months: We are cuddled up together in the tent but before you think to close your eyes, know this: It's pouring outside.....and the tent is leaking. In 3 places actually and to keep dry we have to lie very close ... Read more >

This evening finds us in the Lake St
Clair World Heritage National Park, camping a stone's throw from the
lake. Over the last few days we've spent an interesting time in a
caravan park in Melbourne, which culminated in us packing up and
leaving ... Read more >

Today has been our longest driving day
so far, with us covering over 800 K's.
The Country music festival was
entertaining but very noisy, although I did manage to get a picture
of a man with a chicken on his head...
The day I spent on the ... Read more >

Day 4 of the roadtrip finds us in
Uralla on a farm, surrounded by chickens and flies. The last few days
have been very eventful, starting with a beach wedding. I had pretty
much decided that I was not going to enjoy the reception as I knew
no-... Read more >

With a month in Australia under my
belt I thought it best to update this journal.
First things first, the weather.
Everyone has told me that Oz in in a drought at the moment, but I
find it hard to believe with all the rain we've had over the ... Read more >

My first taste of Australia was unfortunately tainted by an awful
flight from Singapore.
Sitting behind Lydia
and I were two children who obviously didn’t get enough exercise and saw our
seat-backs as their personal gym. So between scowling at ... Read more >

SINGAPORE | Monday, 24 Dec 2007 | Views [324]
Our driver for the bus trip from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore
spoke very little English, so we were a bit uncertain of where exactly we were
going to be dropped off or where to meet the bus once finished with customs,
but we had decided that even ... Read more >

MALAYSIA | Monday, 17 Dec 2007 | Views [1969]
The coach we took from Pak Bara to Kuala Lumpur, that was supposed to get in at 0730, actually disgorged us at 5am. As you would expect, this came as a bit of a shock to the system. After a few minutes of frantic gesticulation with the driver we decided ... Read more >

We have just left a tropical paradise where we have been the most active since starting this trip. We caught the train from BKK, and will never again ride the rails in Thailand. Miserable, noisy, and I possibly got my dose of dysentry from it too...... Read more >

Oh my god. I never expected this. We arrived in BKK airport to be met by all the local taxi drivers wanting our business. Lydia was a star and negotiated us a good deal with one, and off we went. It seems all of Asia went to the same driving school.... Read more >

HONG KONG | Monday, 10 Dec 2007 | Views [392] | Comments [1]
Our arrival in Hong Kong was nothing spectacular, but the train ride was, being the most comfortable so far this trip. After a frantic phone call to the hostel we were staying at we made our way to the bus stop for the free shuttle bus up the mountain, ... Read more >

RUSSIAN FEDERATION | Sunday, 4 Nov 2007 | Views [360]
Well we seem to have survived St Petersburg relatively unscathed. There was a moment at the metro station when we first arrived, but with Lydia's typical Aussie tact and subtlety I got through with only a bruised pride to nurse. Weather is cold but ... Read more >
