No more travels on the horizon at the moment but other exciting events keeping us busy instead - we got engaged (in London) on 7th May, Adam starts his new job as a Worldwide Consultant at Trailfinders working in London from 5th June for 5 weeks then starts in the new Canterbury branch... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=159456&go=adamjan Thu, 8 Jun 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=134395&go=adamjan home and cold.

Adam still looking. weird tryng to readjust to life in England the last year's adventures seem a distant memory now. have to get the photos developed to remind us it really did happen. seen some of you already, hope to see the rest of you soon. xxx... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=134395&go=adamjan Mon, 20 Mar 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=119975&go=adamjan India is like nowhere else we have ever been. One minute we're flying serenely over the Hymalayas gazing through the clouds over Mt Everist and the next minute being mobbed by beggars, taxi drivers, dodging the incessantly honking traffic, dodging the cows wandering across our path (and dodging their smelly deposits which are everywhere), taking a white-knuckle ride of a taxi journey though the co... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=119975&go=adamjan Fri, 13 Jan 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=116885&go=adamjan Arrived in the bright lights of Hong Kong and settled into our tiny room on the 12th floor of a run-down building in Kowloon (an area of Hong Kong on mainland China as opposed to the island of Hong Kong you see in all the pictures). We had great views over the busy streets below. Just time for some delicious Chinese food and to watch some awful Chinese TV before going to bed. Next day we had "Chin... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=116885&go=adamjan Thu, 12 Jan 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=115185&go=adamjan Met Adam's parents and spent a wonderful week or so driving around the south island seeing the sights (again!) and then some we hadn't yet seen in the north island. A highlight was definitely the whale watching where we were up close and personal with four of the huge beauties. Plus gushing geysers in smelly sulphuric Rotorua. Christmas at Adam's cousins in Whangarei, all in all a great ending to ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=115185&go=adamjan Sun, 8 Jan 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=110264&go=adamjan Sorry for yet another gap in our updates. Are we getting too lazy as the year goes on? Since last time we have made our way down the spectaular west coast of the south island, visiting craggy fishing villages, windswept (literally: the trees were horizontal) ghost towns, glaciers, lakes, rivers and mountains. Adam caught a salmon. We have hiked and strolled and camped and fished and barbecued and ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=110264&go=adamjan Mon, 12 Dec 2005 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=106538&go=adamjan From the stunning setting - do we say stunning a lot? probably, but then we're easily stunned - anyway from Taranaki with its snow-topped-volcano-meets-gorgeous-sunset-beach-location we headed around the peninsula keeping a watchful eye on said mountain as it loomed over us at every turn as we passed through tiny surf communities and enjoyed shimmering, melting west coast sunsets before heading ba... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=106538&go=adamjan Tue, 22 Nov 2005 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=104179&go=adamjan Sorry for the lack of emails and updates but life lately has been one long blissful blur of beaches, forests, mountains, fishing and camping and generally enjoying the laid-back kiwi way of doing things. Although we did work for a week! If 2 hours a day cleaning motel rooms and gardening counts as work. This was all done in return for free accommodation at a holiday park in Whananaki, where after ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=104179&go=adamjan Tue, 8 Nov 2005 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=100583&go=adamjan So we flew out of Los Angeles on Thursday and arrived in Auckland on Saturday. We lost Friday somewhere along the way. Dazed and confused we stumbled out into a crisp, bright New Zealand morning and were immediately treated to a display of Maori singing and dancing (I'm sure there's a word for it). We were rather impressed that they'd gone to all that trouble just for us but then realised they wer... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=100583&go=adamjan Tue, 18 Oct 2005 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=100580&go=adamjan We forgot to mention the Grand Canyon. How could we omit such a whopping, impressive thing like that?! We went there on a coach trip from Vegas, for some reason stopping off at a vitamin factory en route where everyone except us duly purchased huge jars of vitamins. No-one except us seemed to think it odd that we were wasting precious time browsing chewable zinc capsules when we were meant to be s... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=100580&go=adamjan Mon, 17 Oct 2005 12:00:00 GMT
