3 days to go...
We arrived in Perth yesterday afternoon, Mair & Mary picked us up from the airport, then drove us to our accomodation. Mair rents a house out to a man, who is currently away for the next three weeks, so Mair has let us stay there whilst he's away... This is amazing offer for us, and we'd want to say a huge thanks to Mair for this! Its going to help our budgeting beyond belief! With only…

Fish Feeding at Darwin Harbour

Well sort of it, we got to see some of the delights of Australia's Northern Territory (NT to the locals).…
The Trek Up Mount Doom
I didn't sleep on Thursday night, Lucy caught 40 winks for a couple of hours, but seeing as we were heading to Mount Doom (thats Mount Batur! - Lucy) at 2am I thought it was wise that one of us stayed awake. As promised, our driver was sitting outside the hotel at 2am, so we started our adventure to Mount Batur. As soon as the engine was on I was out for the count, I…
Dolphins and Snorkeling
We haven't posted in a week, you best get ready for a major update! We arrived in Bali on Thursday night, not knowing where the best place to start was, we got talking to another traveller who was heading to Kuta. It seemed the good thing to do, so we shared a taxi with him. Tired from the flight, we booked into the first hotel we got to. The room was only £7 per night…
