Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
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 →
This was our last stop before we got to Hanoi and completed our trip. We had booked three days here so this was our time to relax and let our bottoms rest. This trip has been incredible but my bottom will never get used to sitting on a bike for more than four hours every... 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 →
After spending an incredible three weeks travelling along the beautiful coast of Western Australia, we were getting closer to the boarder. Our last stop before we began to drive inland, towards Norseman was Esperance. Esperance is a lovely town well known for its pink lake and salt flats. Wow, a pink lake! I thought. Well,...

It's crazy to me that I have lived in Australia for two years now. It really doesn't feel like that long ago I was sat at my desk in work, staring out the window and thinking "get me away from here!" I've had a fantastic time travelling around this beautiful country and I have experienced... Continue Reading →
After spending the night at the Devil's Marbles (separate post to follow) we were heading to Wycliffe Well, the UFO capital of Australia. We had no idea this place existed until we found it on the map that morning. The night before we had watched Paul and star gazed so it was a great place... Continue Reading →
Yes I went with the very original title of 'chasing waterfalls'. I just couldn't resist using the 90's hit song as a reference. Thank you TLC. The tropics of far north Queensland are so different from other parts of Queensland. If you get the chance to travel that far up the coast, I would strongly... Continue Reading →
Whilst road tripping up the East Coast, we stopped at Bondi beach for the day. Well, we planned it to be a day but on arrival our plans quickly changed to a few hours! IT WAS SO BUSY. Being from the bustling city of Bristol, I'm used to crowds but when everyone is almost naked,... 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 →
One of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia, Byron Bay did not dissapoint. We spent the night in a small campsite in our wonderful car and pretty much melted in the spring heat. We started the morning the proper way with a stop at a bakery for coffee and pastries. The food was really... Continue Reading →
One of the best people we have met on our travels is Buddy. Extremely funny, interesting and kind, he happily took us on a tour of his hometown Adelaide. It was brilliant. I think it's really great when people are proud of where they came from and can tell you all about their city, just... Continue Reading →
