The Eating Challenge
I'm at Stefan's house and the lot of them have gone to Sweden, leaving me to fend for myself. Not that I mind at all; it beats staying at home an extra 5 days... I'm chilling out in expectation of hard travel in Ethiopia. Having just done a week long ...
The verdict
Spending the best part of the last 4 weeks in Colombia, I don't consider myself to have much more than scratched the surface. However, when someone asks me about my trip I can safely say that I have experienced enough to assure them that Colombia is only ...
Travels Part II
So, on to the second part of my post work travels, and off to South East Asia for a bit of voluntary work, followed by a bit of a holiday afterwards. The destinations are Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Batang Ai, Bali and Flores/Komodo National ...

Confused...
By the time you read this I will have left for the airport… so sorry if you have only just realised that I have gone again! Fingers crossed there are no strip searches, lost bags or bags breaking, deportations, refusals of entry or bomb scares! ...
Getting adventurous again...
I tried so hard but.... after the last big trip I haven't been able to get the bug out of my system... despite resigning to the fact that life had to be a little different! And I've already attempted to book this one a couple of times and failed ...
The last supper
We have just had our last supper in the UK. It was curry, as it is the nation's favourite dish after all. And Dom's, obviously. Most of the preparations have finally been finished. It has been a long process of quitting jobs, moving houses, getting ...
Guildford
Our last stop before London is at St Catherine's School in Bramley. The netball games were played outdoors and the A Team had a win and the B Team - a loss. (We later discovered that their coach - a really lovely lady- was the England U21 Team ...
Have you seen my fleece?
So here's the latest... It's been slow progress the last few weeks with preparations being limited to trying to track down my 'special’ travelling fleece which seems to have gone AWOL in my parent’s loft. It’s extremely sentimental ...
Getting excited...
Only a week and half to go now before the big departure! Getting very excited! We've been buying the last few bits and bobs we need for our epic adventure - like water bottles for the Machu Pichu trek. I've even bought a book called "Last day of the ...
First stop - Guildford!!
... to be at Gatwick Airport. It was also a good chance to spend the evening with Steve's sister. After a bit of running around Guildford to get those little things like currency and flip flops, we headed into London in the evening to see Tara's favourite ...
Gatecrashing One Awesome Leaving Party
After a lift with Lucy's parents down the highway, we arrived at my home town, Guildford - well, birth place - and possibly our best night's accomodation on the entire trip. The whole night was incredible, we couldn't have wished for a better farewell ...
Swan River
After paying homage to the Indo Pacific I nipped back to the Transperth platforms and caught the Midland Line to Guildford, one of the earliest settlements in WA, and therefore brimming with old buildings. I grab a coffee and then walk the old town trail, ...
Prep work
It's all coming together - I'm organised and methodical in my approach and my ruck sack is taking shape with the gear I ...
Ride the train
Warm, cold, hot, freezing, wet, dry, cold...what to pack what to leave behind. The dilemas, the joys! What colours are in fashion? Nah, just doesn't match the colour of the rucksack. http://www.dirty.org/underworld/files/ ...
Late Nights and Early Mornings
Alarm clock set for 3.30 AM. That is no way to start an adventure - I'm not calling it a holiday. Minus 5 points if you say I'm having a holiday. You don't take gloves, have injections, take anti-malaria tablets, pack a sleeping back that has to keep me ...
Home
Back home in one piece - just as I hoped! Have now returned to work, and just like Mr Ben walking along Festive Road very little has ...
T-minus two weeks (ish)
We sold our bed on Gumtree for extra noodle-money, so we've slept on the floor the last two days. At first, it was cosy and romantic - making a little bed out of duvet covers and all the cushions we could find. Now, its probably best described as ...
Back in Sunny Old Britain
After spending 24 hours in Bangkok we reluctantly made our way to the airport and caught our plane back home. Back on British soil we made it through customs and got re-acquainted with the obscenely low temperature of May in England (Heathrow airport ...

Only 19 Days Before I Leave
Phew ... well this is my first blog! Ever! I have 3 weeks to go before I leave and I am feeling excited, nervous, happy, apprehensive and a whole host of other feelings too. I think that I have done almost everything that needed to be done before I ...
Welcome to steve and nicki's café latté ...
Welcome to Steve and Nicki's café latté tour of New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and anywhere else that takes our fancy. If you have stumbled across this site, I should tell you that we are a married couple of conservative accountant types living in ...
Final packdown
The last three days were spent seeing family members and bidding our farewells. Also we had to pare down our luggage for one last time to the final carrying weights of 23kg each plus handbaggage. Last sets of washing were done. Final texts were sent ...
