Good news - we made the flight to Australia on the right day! What a cheap skate airline Jet Star are though, not so much as a bloody cup of tea on an 8hr flight. To make matters worse they put the air-con on full blast and charged $8 for a blanket, we protested by spending the entire flight with our arms stuffed inside our t-shirts, and …
Hey there y'all!
Thought it was time for a new introduction as the old one's been there for a while!
Having just completed 4 month's in Asia, we're looking forward to a bit of western culture - as in looking at a river without somebody washing in it, and wine that doesn't taste like bio diesel!
However the prices are going to be a bit of a shock, having spent the last few months arguing over 20p! Trying to find a backpackers for under £40 is looking challenging... we may be fruit p…

Hiya, just been reading your blog and it's fantastic, please keep it up as and when you can. Looks like you're having an amazing time. Hazel, we've not met but I'm a friend of Al's so that's the intro's out the way. Anyway, really interesting to read what you're both up to and wanted to say hi and hope to read more of your adventures. Graham

Sounds all very interesting. Glad you're doing so well and enjoying all the new experiences. We're sure you'll find the north very different but equally absorbing.
Nothing exciting here. Oh----the sun is out!

'Incredible India'---according to the ad on the TV! It sounds as if it depends from where you're coming---and how! Remind us---should we ever consider going to India! In the meantime---on to the next. Sure that you'll find Jaipur, Delhi etc much more interesting.
Have a great birthday on Friday Hazel.
Love Mum & Dad Frame

Hope you got my post of facebook with the CORRECT dates (30th March-4th April) and maybe catch up in India!! Lots of love xxx

Never a dull moment with you two. Let us know when you reach Goa and where you're staying. Oh----I forgot----you've lost your phone---what a waste of £50!!! Stay safe. Love Mum and Dad
Pam (mum!)
Glad to see you're still surviving and getting a bit too close to the wildlife. Stay out of trouble, I'm sure there will be plenty of Indians spk English - they will be trying to sell you all sorts of crap! Lots of love to both, can we have a phone no.?

How do you 'rev a car to the point of stalling'? Seems counter intuitive? Well, I hope you stay out of trouble in India, the mud there is less friendly - Slumdog millionare, need I say more???
Alastair
Hmmmm - would say this needs a little editing but good effort. PS - if you go to Swarkopmund - pier 1902 (restuarant at the end of the pier) does really really good food and good service!!!
