About this blog

144 days of travelling in Thailand, Malaysia, Singopore and New Zealand. Our intrepid journey through tropical jungle, white sand beaches, colonial bygones and rugged mountain scenery; topped off with a dash of inconsistency, a splash of uncertainty and a certain amount of last minute changes of plan!!

Day 57, and we've just bought a van to travel around the North and South isalnds in New Zealand! What a turn up for the books....
