Unbelievably we have been back for over a month now. I cannot really tell you where the time has gone?Its been a hectic mix of seeing family and friends, socialising, job hunting, wearing old clothes that now feel like new clothes, as well as spending a moment or two contemplating our trip of a lifetime. After 18 flights, a few hundred bus journeys, the odd train ride, some very long boat trips and tuk-tuks galore we made it 30,000 miles around the globe. ...

Stepping off the plane, we realised that this was a new type of heat - dry but hot, very hot. It was windy but the wind was hot, not just warm, like proper HOT, just like having a hair dryer pointed right in your face!!!!We stayed at the cheapest rooms in the Ayers Rock resort which has a ...
