After a fairly rainy start to our island adventures we decided to move on and try our luck on the much smaller island of Ko Tao about a 2 hour boat ride from Ko Samui. We had no accommodation booked so on arrival the priority was to find somewhere cheap and comfortable to stay. We headed to Sairee beach and started making enquiries at som…
Hello our faithful followers, family and friends
We have completed our 4 month tour of Australia and have loved every inch of this wonderfully varied country and we hope you have enjoyed keeping up with our adventures through off exploring. We have been documenting our travels now for 10 months and we have no idea where the time has gone? Our final leg of the journey takes us to Asia and a little more off the beaten track.

We have completed our 4 month tour of Australia and have loved every inch of this wonderfully varied country and we hope you have enjoyed keeping up with our adventures through off exploring. We have been documenting our travels now for 10 months and we have no idea where the time has gone? Our final leg of the journey takes us to Asia and a little more off the beaten track. Over the next 2 months we hope to explore Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand so its going to be a busy and hectic time for us. We will, as always take the time to keep you updated on where we are and what trouble we are getting into.

Hiya
Just had a peek at your new pics not got time to read the blog supposed to be getting ready for toddlers. The bus seat crack me up they're like cheap dentist chairs. Is that what the night bus was like or is that what you thought you'd be getting, story still makes me smile.
See your tanned wee heid in a fortnight

Hi Guys!
AHHHH! 2 weeks and 4 days...... Oh my god! We're both really looking forward to having you guys back!
Thanks for that step by step itinerary on where to go for a good night out in Edinburgh Trace, we had a lovely weekend, enjoyed every minute of it and Tom had a lovely birthday! Roll on you guys coming home so we can get some more nights out in Edinburgh!! Although I have to say, cobbled streets and stilletto heels are not a good combination!! (I'm sure Tom will fill you in on that one if he hasn't already!)
Enjoy your last couple of weeks in the sunshine........... See you soon
Love M & T xx
Lou

Hey you two
Just went on and had my weekly fix of your travels caught up on all the Vietnam goss and pics. Was getting strange looks from my mum whilst laughing away to myself about your antics.
Going to email you properly in a minute seeing I have five minutes peace to myself.

mmmm Mrs G I think you've missed your true vocation which has to be travel writer, you'd give Bill Bryson a run for his money. V informative and enjoyable read as per always. Enjoy your last few days in Oz

Hi guys
HOW AMAZING WAS YOUR SHOWER LAST NIGHT??!! We jumped in the pool as soon as we got to the hotel then showered, ordered room service, put on our air con and crashed on the bed while we watched the tennis (great match with Dokic). We just showed our friends the photos and video and realised how amazing our trip was. Even though it was a little hellish, it was made better by the fact that we met two fantastic travel buddies who shared our hatred of flies and apprehension of swagging (and dingo face licking). If you ever come to Mexico or Melbourne give us a call and we will show you all the fly-free wonders of these cities!
All the best for the rest of your travels, be safe and enjoy the beaches in Perth!
P.S. We have downloaded the first season of Bear Grylis and watched the camel cave bit on youtube-love it!!! We're all set for much puke-inducing Grylis adventures :)
Mairi
Hey Guys, I know I've spoken to you via email but I don't think I've said HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both yet!! Looks like you've had a great Xmas, I love the photo's. It's just so weird seeing lots of semi naked bodies lying on a beach in the sun with santa hats on! Cant quite get my head round that one but how cool! We missed you at Xmas but it looks as though u didn't do too badly - your Xmas dinner looked lovely!! Mmm well done masterchef! Great to see you're both still looking fabulous, happy, and far too brown! All is well this end and not much new to tell so I'll leave you to it........Love to u both, Mairi XX
Ben & Laurenne
Merry Christmas you two,,,,,we're not jealous at all that you're off to th beach and we're hear in near zero temperatures...no not jealous at all....NOT!!!
