Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
For the 36th year, Weston Super Mare underwent a massive transformation from the usual sancastles, donkey rides and ice creams to a huge endurance track. Over 1000 entries and only one winner, this was an intense race and a tiring one for those competing. At 1:30pm the engines start and so does the excitement of... Continue Reading →
I love Pai! I came to here two years ago whilst on a tour but only stayed for a few days. It was during rainy season back then, so it’s great to see Pai in the sunlight and not have to carry an umbrella. A quiet mountain town, Pai definitely has its own feel and... Continue Reading →
Echo beach is one of my favourites in Bali. Located in Canggu, it's very easy to get to, great for surfing (although I just watch) and not overly crowded... oh and there are dogs everywhere. The sand here is a beautiful grey colour. I know the words beautiful and grey don't usually go together, it's... Continue Reading →
I'll start off by saying, getting there was not easy.If Google Maps tells you you're good to drive down a road, there's a 75% chance you're not. This has happened to us quite a few times on our trip. Also, every now and then we glanced at the map only to see that the road... Continue Reading →
A few posts back I said that Vietnam's roads aren't as bad as what I thought they were... I take it back. The roads are absolutely mental. If you look closely at the photo above, you'll see there are actually piglets in those baskets. I did get a closer image but I deleted it because... Continue Reading →
Hoi An is with out a doubt my favourite town in Vietnam. It will most likely stay my favourite town too as it's going to be a hard one to beat. We arrived in Hoi An after a terrible thunderstorm. It was like the sky was caving in. We were soaked through and feeling pretty... Continue Reading →
The further north we travel, the prettier Vietnam seems to get. We left Dalat in the rain and luckily seemed to drive out of it. Our ponchos were used for only two hours that day which is a new record. We decided to take the coastal road instead of the mountains as it seemed a bit... Continue Reading →
Our stay at the Bamboo Lodge in Đồng Nai was lovely. It was so comfortable and peaceful I didn't want to leave. After a big cup of the best coffee in world and a cuddle from the kitten, we were heading off to Dalat.The mountain roads of Vietnam are so picturesque I couldn't quite believe... Continue Reading →
I may take this back this back at some point... but Vietnam is not as terrifying as what I thought it would be. After watching Top Gear in Vietnam I was a little skeptic about the trip. Of course the roads here are absolutely wild, but I can honestly say that they are no where... Continue Reading →
We have been working on the feed lot for almost three months now. The time has flown by. Time flies when you're having fun... Or working 11 hour shifts everyday! Before we were hired for this job, we were actually set up to go back to the dairy farm we previously worked for. It was... Continue Reading →
We have worked just over seven weeks straight now. No days off, no late starts nothing. It's starting to make us a little stir crazy and irritable. Yesterday we were invited to the Flinton races which is 90km from the feed lot. We didn't really want to at first, but I am so glad we... Continue Reading →
WE MADE IT! Our road trip is complete! It is such an accomplishment and I am so happy. When you're on the road you're so focused on your next destination you sometimes forget to enjoy it. It really was a great ride and brilliant to see the less touristy side of Australia. Our new driveway. ... Continue Reading →
Since seeing the music video for Toxic, Britney had me believing that having the wind flow through my hair whilst on the back of a motorbike, would be so free and glamorous. Right now I am battling with one giant dreadlock which used to be a ponytail. Give it up Britney. Today was realllyyyyyy really... Continue Reading →
Our day started with a bang... literally. Whilst travelling at 5km around a roundabout we had our first motorbike accident. It was a very slow tumble in what we suspect to be spilt diesel. It had been raining that morning and rain on disel in like riding on ice. Our back end went out and... Continue Reading →
OH MY GOD MY BUM ACHES. After a full ten hours on the bike, I can no longer feel my bottom. We set off at around 9:00am this morning from Atherton and drove the higgldy piggldy Gillies Range for the final time in Australia. This road is so nice to do on a bike because... Continue Reading →
