It's been six days already since we left NZ and it seems like I haven't stopped moving! Certainly I haven't had the chance to look over the photos I've taken, ponder the places I've been, or write anything witty or interesting on this blog (until now). A lot seems to have happened, too much for one post, so I think I'm going to write a series of mini posts for each of the places I've been to so far - sort of a "previously on..." thing like they do on TV to remind you what's happened. That should make me caught up on things so far, and then all I have to do is try and keep on top of things over the next four weeks. So - coming up on "previously on...":

1. The flights: 21 hours of terror! (not really)
2. Dubai: where rain is just a theoretical concept
3. England: home to Monster Munch
