Realising a dream of travelling round the world for a year - India, SE Asia, Aus, NZ and South and Central America
About this blog
So you have bothered to have a look then! We better make this interesting! Hopefully our tales of experiences and encounters on our round the world trip will be as enjoyable for you as we hope they are for us (this is obviously highly unlikely)! The travelogue should be the interesting and hopefully amusing (what we think is interesting and amusing) anecdotes from the journeys we take, the places we see and most importantly, the people we meet. Are you sitting comfortably, well then I will begin...........
