Goodbye Australia

The time came around too quickly for me to say goodbye to Australia - the country I had very quickly come to enjoy very much.
If you are a nature lover you will really love Australia - there is always so much to see!

Thank you to our lovely family for your generous hospitality, kindness and time you have taken to show us around your neck of the woods. Our memories and photos of our time in Australia will definitely spur us on to visit again as soon as we can.

we stayed in.
Howard and Evelyn drove us to Port Macquarie on the day we were to catch the train to Brisbane.  We visited the Koala hospital for Koalas who have been found ill or hurt. Some are brought in because of being caught in bushfires, hit by cars or illness. Occasionally they get mauled by dogs too. They are on the 'at risk' list for endangered animals now.

There are lots of things I am enjoying about the Netherlands and some that are surprising. I'm amazed at the playgrounds they have for children scattered around almost every housing block - there is a smallish one on a square of grass at the end of most streets and then a big fenced in one at the end of the block. They are well equipped with wooden and unusual structures. But no public toilets which I find hard to understand! The roads are rather narrow and often don't have a center line to differentiate between the right and left side but on most roads (other than highways) they have red concrete to indicate the bike lane which takes up a good portion of the road. I like that the road is well planned out for biking as a main mode of transport. One of the roads with red on both sides for the bike lanes I am so impressed with the beauty of the houses here! We've spent the past few days visiting small villages which are only a few kilometers apart and every single hous

Indonesia - the most friendly place in the world

Bananas hanging in the market This is our very last week traveling! We are counting down the days now to when we'll be back in New Zealand and onto familiar soil yet again. No more back packs! No more of the totally unknown and having to find our way around. We'll be back in the land of hot showers and flushing toilets too. But it does mean no more new and exciting sights and dinners out, No more fascinating wildlife or hot tropical days. These things I will be missing. Exquisite jungle flora At a huge 400-year-old tree in the jungle Indonesia has been full of surprises. The first being how friendly everyone here is! Maybe it's because we're western and fair-haired, but within our first minute of arriving in Medan people wanted to help us and everyone smiled and wanted to say hello and ask our names and to introduce themselves. We got a bus from Medan airport which took us through the city to the last stop, a huge mall, where Josh wanted to get a

On the Road again

From the train at dawn. Phoebe on the back of the truck Tuk-tuk we rode to Ao Nang. Our week in Bangkok was over, so it was time to say goodbye to our comfortable room and the street we had become happily familiar with, though I think we were all pretty keen to leave the city even though it wasn't all so foreign as it was in the beginning. Josh had one last visit to the dentist and we were very glad for this as the appointment came with a complementary drive to the train station which was about 2 hours away. We had tickets for the overnight train, a 12 hour trip through the night to Krabi, a coastal city. We were all dreading this trip and braced ourselves for a long night of discomfort in the cheapest seats we could find. We were allocated tiny seats meant to fit two people and positioned right next to the stinky toilet. But the good thing was that the train wasn't too full so we ended up being able to spread out a bit. Even so, the tiny seats weren't enough f
