P.S – We’re Home

Friday, May 26th, 2006

Whoever might still be waiting and wondering what’s happened to us; we arrived home on 23rd April having spent our last two weeks in Singapore and Malaysia.

Australia is a wee bit more expensive that Asia, and it just sucked us dry. But we agreed at the start we were out of a good time over a long time – unashamedly stolen from my friend Jen – and so we have no regrets.

Lots of trip towards the end is missing on this site, and I’ve no idea if I’ll get round to writing any of it up. Because, frankly, I’m not sure anyone is left to read it!

Hope anyone and everyone is well.

Bon nuit.

These are photos of our van after driving through the outback for two days. Most of this mess was caused when we hit a grasshopper plague.

Instead they jump and fly into us, creating a mess that stunk of, well, grass. It looks like we’ve gone through just-cut grass, but what you see there is all grasshopper, my friends.
