Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
I hope everyone is staying safe and looking after each other at this crazy time. At the moment, the UK is social distancing, not isolating unless you are showing symptoms. Our pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants etc were closed on Friday. We have yet to go into lock down but the way things are going, I... 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 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 →
After riding around on scooters for a few days we began to notice more and more tourists on custom bikes. There is no way that they owned these bikes so we did a little searching around. Renting a custom bike can cost you 150,0000 - 300,0000 depending on what you're looking for and where you... Continue Reading →
