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.

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...

A Slice of Paradise

Ao Nang beach This week we have been in Ao Nang. It is on the coast of Thailand's southern Krabi province. We rented through AirBnB a little two-roomed cottage which is about an hours walk from the beach. We've really enjoyed seeing a different side of Thailand this week. Aonang is a small town consisting of a main road and the beach front which has some fancy resort places and the more expensive touristy type shops. Right down the end of the beach near where the National Park begins there are rows and rows of huts that are set up for giving Thai massage (most of them for around $10-$20). The house we were living in was right up the top of the main road and down another, among rows of small houses occupied mostly by Westerners living there long term. It was nice and quiet there, with a view of a beautiful jungle clad hill not far away. And the nicest surprise about the place was that they had just recently put in a pool! We spent many happy hours luxuriating ...

Life in an Asian Metropolis

Bangkok's canal boats Every day we've gone a little further afield to discover a bit more of the sprawling city, though truthfully, I find the prospect of walking around in the stinky, fumy, crowded city rather daunting. But it's wrong to just see the city from our air-conditioned apartment windows, so we braved the heat and walked a few blocks to the river canal where we had an adventurous ride on a huge long boat.  The boat stopped at the pier for only about 20 seconds so we had to jump across the frothy brown liquid and down onto the boat to scrabble for a seat. The ticket collector on the outside of the boat carelessly collecting the fare.  There were two people collecting tickets that precariously walked around the outside edge of the boat holding only onto a flimsy rope. The locals hold out their fingers in an L shape to display how far they were travelling and hold out their 20 Baht notes. (Only about $1 NZ.) I don't know how the ticket collectors e...
