East Coast Australia – Part 2 – North Queensland
We survived a cyclone and we saw koalas in the wild so all good. It might have been nice for the sun to shine and for us to get the picture postcard gorgeous pictures of The Whitsundays, but that’d be boring wouldn’t it?
East Coast Australia – Part 1 – Far North Queensland (FNQ)
Off to the Tropical North, which was ‘enjoying’ an early bit of wet season weather excitement – but all was good for some reef, rainforest, skyline, scenic train and koala adventures….
Western Australia Road Trip – Part 4 – Perth but Better!
Just 30 hours at the end of our Western Australia adventure to pack in the tourist bits of Perth – Fremantle and Rottnest Island – fabulous…..
Western Australia Part 3 – The South West
Along with half of Perth, we made the Margaret River area our base for Christmas. Beautiful lodgings, fabulous wine, mad surfers, the hottest place on the planet on Christmas Day, Brussel sprouts on the barbie…
Western Australia Road Trip – Part 2 – Down South
Some long drives but worth every mile to experience absolutely stunning beaches and towering trees. A shame we both had flu…
Western Australia Road Trip – Part 1 – Getting there & Perth
Sorry we’ve been quiet for a few months. Our travel was interrupted in Indonesia back in July by Steve being diagnosed with lung problems. It took a while back in the UK to complete tests and get stable on drugs but now we are back on the road and…
China (sort of) Part 7 – Hong Kong
Our last stop in China was Hong Kong, which is very different and still has a very British vibe. We took the funnicular railway uo Victoria Peak and a 6km long cable car ride on Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha. Next stop Indonesia!
China Part 6 – Guilin & Yangshuo
Guilin and Yangshou were our opportunity to get away from the big cities and see something of rural China. After one night in Guilin we took a Li river cruise downstream to Yangshou and stayed in an independent hotel where we relaxed and admired the river and mountain views…
China Part 5 – Chengdu
Chengdu, capital of the Sichuan province is famous for food and pandas. It should also be famous for the epic rain, which meant we didn’t get to see the pandas until our final day. We dodged the showers to explore the city, embarassingly over-ordered in a casserole restaurant and…
China Part 4 – Xi’an
Although Xi’an in synonymous with the Terracotta Warriors, there is far more to see and do than this admittedly breathtaking sight. We also risked heatstroke cycling around the top of the city walls in 35 degree heat and ate our weight in dumplings.
