I know we're now back in Preston, but I feel what happened yesterday worth posting here. We went for Thai in Preston last night. There was only one other table occupied. We overheard them talking about veganism, travelling and stuff. Mostly travelling. When I glanced over I had that horrible feeling that I knew one of them from somewhere. Obviously we've been out of Preston for 3 months so initially assumed we knew him from Preston, but I did have an overriding ...

Hi Everyone, It is with great sadness that we post this final blog. We're back in London and we'll be flying back to Manchester tomorrow. We've had the most amazing experience and strangely enough, we've not killed each other! Just to let you know what we did in LA: We took part in what I am calling Voyuer Tourism: a tour that took us to A-List Celebrities Houses, saw the Walk of Fame, went to the Chinese Theatre and spent a day at Universal Studios. BTW, the n...

Hi Everyone, We're back in Auckland... again! We landed here at 7.30 this morning but our flight to LA isn't until 7.15 tonight so we came into the city to kill some time.

I bought this spray called 'Rescue Remedy', recommended by our friend Tatiana which you spray on your tongue and it makes you sleep really well, but I obviously didn't use enough of it because...

Hi Everyone, As you can see, we're now in Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands. Just to recap what we've been upto in New Zealand: We rented a car (which had an exhaust that actually stayed on this time) and drove up to Arthur's Pass which is 2 hours out of Christchurch but a world away: we went hiking in snow-covered mountains up to a waterfall called Devil's Punchbowl. This was amazing!! BTW I also ate the best Sausage and Mash ever here! We also drove...
