... hardly any time left. Nicholle flies on Sunday into Sydney and is spending the first week at her god parents house 45 mins from Sydney. Then I fly out to meet her on 5th Dec. Then the true adventure begins.

This week has been fairly stressful, especially for Nic. Visa problems, New year accomodation and the dreaded packing. Anyone that knows Nic and I know that we aren't your typical backpackers, to say the ...

... now in Northampton, tomorrow we leave for Dover, and on Friday morning we board the ferry for France. Hurrah! If all goes according to plan :-) We'll let you know how we get on of course.

Having got our hands back on everything we own, we're now able to upload some pictures we took of our time in Norfolk, in case anyone fancies a look. They're below.

Hopefully the next entry will come from France, please cross fingers for us.

Ahh Paris is over - and the long journey home to Australia is just beggining!

So this morning started with a little sleep in - well compared to our regular mornings! Relaxed brekkie and checked out of the hostel by 10, with little plans for the day except to pass the time!

So we wandered up our street - the Rue de Fabourg de Temple, filled with butchers, bakeries and cheap clothes stores - very cheap! If only i lived in the climate where i ...

The last few weeks have been really manic while we've prepared to put our furniture into storage and get our property ready for letting. Thankfully, most of the hard work is completed and now we can concentrate on getting ready for our travels. It's difficult to believe that we leave in just under a week!

We fly into Delhi on Monday, arriving very early ...

... cousin Elliot, his fiancee Nicole and their little 8 month old baby Isla came to visit. The girl has personality! After a play we were off to the Green Man for dinner - Uncle Alan joined us again. We had lovely views of the countryside and fireworks (Guy Fawkes seems to drag out for a few days!). Then back home to Hudsons Lodge for an early night - to Paris tomorrow!

... up by my cousin Elliot after some initial issues - Josh and I had hoped to hire a car for a couple of days, however due to lack of credit card we couldn't. Elliot kindly swung past Jim and Cath's to pick up all our 'other stuff' and then to Aunty Sue's house in the country - seriously !

Another country down - just Paris to go on Sunday morning. I can't believe we will be home in a week - the much feared packing will have to begin soon!

... We’re now planning to spend November in France where we can speak a little of the language. A couple of great opportunities have come up there that look very exciting. Providing that there are sufficient volunteers, one of the hopes is to erect an eco building in a woodland using local resources. So we won’t be gaining a winter suntan immediately, and the woollen socks will be important!

... contains these natural hot springs that were used by ancient Romans then forgotten and buried for literally thousands of years. Eventually the baths were rediscovered and enjoyed by Victorian Londoners starting in the late 1800's. They're now unusable because they've been contaminated by pigeons, but you can still see all the Roman ...

... the Kingdom to 90 days total. All being well with this and assuming that 3 months of being complete beach bums doesn't wear us out (jealous yet?), we'll fly out of Phuket some time around early May. There are no onward dates on our tickets for this reason so from here we'll take it as it comes. Fly Phuket to KL, Malaysia and ...
