We hope this makes it easy for everyone to keep an eye on our year long round the world trip. Make sure you all keep in touch via the message board and feel free to send us any feedback. For anyone planning to meet us along the way here is a rough itinerary or follow the map!: 30/04/06 - 30/08/06 = S.E. Asia 01/09/06 - 03/01/07 = Oz & N.Z. 04/01/07 - 28/04/07 = S. America Liz has a separate page from her Whistler trip too as it is too painful to let go of all those snow capped memories just yet...bring on the surfing lessons! http://www.getjealous.com/liznkaz http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=212207&go=liznkaz Melbourne was definitely very much a bright lights experience as it seemed so massive after everywhere else we had visited in Oz. Luckily Fred (and flatmate Paul) were happy to put us up for a few days in their flat so we had a home for a bit in St. Kilda (a trendy area to the South of the city by the sea with lots of cafes, restaurants and bars). As we knew we were heading back to Melbourne a... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=212207&go=liznkaz Mon, 30 Oct 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=212197&go=liznkaz Put the kettle on, sit back and relax right now you have had an insight into our daily routine, its time for the next installment. Once we had collected our campervan and home for a week we headed off to do a bit of sightseeing around Adelaide. Visited Granite Island on the south coast home to fairy penguins (sadly you can only see them at night) and had a look at several villages in the Ad... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=212197&go=liznkaz Thu, 12 Oct 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=201606&go=liznkaz Last but not least was our third tour of the ten day big tour, a three and a half day trip to Uluru (Ayers Rock). We were collected from the hostel by our tour guide (mad) Fiona at 11 am feeling a little worse for wear. We hit it off with her almost immediately as we were the first people on the bus and jumped straight into the front seats. Pretty good job as we helped her fix the aircon and ge... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=201606&go=liznkaz Thu, 5 Oct 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=201480&go=liznkaz After all that driving we enjoyed a well deserved rest in Darwin lazing by the pool and hanging out in cafes. Although it hardly deserves the title 'City' with only one main street the place had a certain charm and the hot climate was most welcome, especially without the added humidity everyone had threatened. Our 10 day organised tour began bright and early on 21st October with a 6:30 start... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=201480&go=liznkaz Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=201457&go=liznkaz We're back! Sorry it has been a while folks, not a lot of time for keeping up the blog whilst you're in the outback. If we can remember that far back we will delight in telling you a little about our road trip between Perth and Darwin. So it was back on Saturday the 9th of September that we set off on our big trip North, a few sore headed bears on board after a $10 (4 quid) all the beer you c... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=201457&go=liznkaz Fri, 22 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190750&go=liznkaz G' day all! We thought it was time to tell you a little bit about the start of our ozzie experience. We arrived in Perth just over a week ago and have been chilling out here ever since, quite literally if you take a look at the temperature on the site. A bit of a shock to the system after four months in Asia with an average temperature of about 30C especially when you only own one thin sweater... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=190750&go=liznkaz Thu, 7 Sep 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=186594&go=liznkaz It is hard to believe but four months has already come to an end and this is the final instalment from our Asian leg of the tour. It is 6am and we're fresh off an overnight bus journey back to Kuala Lumpur so you'll have to excuse any spelling mistakes. Who said it was all fun and games?! The Malaysia (and a bit more of Indonesia) story began here in K.L. two weeks ago. The bright lights of ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=186594&go=liznkaz Sun, 27 Aug 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=180416&go=liznkaz Time to update you all on our Cambodia adventures. Phnom Penh was first on the list and it was here that we met Matt who decided to join us for 10 days. We stayed by 'the lake' in a very backpacker oriented area for about 3 days. A good base to visit the killing fields and S21 (the fascinating and disturbing museum which tells part of the story of the Khmer Rouge genocide). As our guesthous... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=180416&go=liznkaz Wed, 9 Aug 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=174808&go=liznkaz Following on from the Sapa trip our next excursion from Hanoi took us to Halong Bay. This was a 3 day trip involving one night on board a traditional junk (old fashioned looking boat) and one in a hotel on 'Cat Ba' island. Other activities included eating, trekking, eating, kayaking, eating, visiting caves oh and more eating (tasty seafood in this area). The bay itself is a UNESCO world her... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=174808&go=liznkaz Tue, 25 Jul 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=168963&go=liznkaz Urm...as you can see in spite of all our free time we still can't come up with a decent title between us! Following on from our last instalment, we made our way on a VIP bus south to the town of Pakse and later Don Det (one of the small islands we mentioned previously). Shockingly enough the bus did actually live up to its title as we were served a meal AND had reclining seats, most impressive... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=168963&go=liznkaz Sat, 8 Jul 2006 12:00:00 GMT
