June 22, 2004A kiwi challengeMy aching legs feel heavy as lead, my hip bones sting as 15 kilos of backpack bites into skin already rubbed raw. It’s four days since my last wash and two hours since I wolfed down a bowl of porridge...Read this update Goodbye Asia from ThailandI'm writing in shock at the fact that we are back in Bangkok on our last night in Asia, leaving for Sydney tomorrow. It doesn't seem long enough ago that we were here the first time, realising that our return...Read this update Xin Chao from VietnamThe sombre mood of Phnom Penh's genocide museum was followed the next day by a 6 hour white knuckle speedboat ride up the Tonle Sap river to Siem Reap.

It's been amazing, but i'll get...Read this update Hola de ChileYes, for anyone who was bored enough to remember our South American itinerary, we know we weren't supposed to go to Chile. But here we are, in San Pedro de Atacama just over the border with Bolivia, relaxing for a...Read this update Hola de PeruSo, where did we leave you? I think we had just survived the freezing slopes of Cotopaxi and were about to escape what would seem to be every LatAm traveller's least favourite city, Quito. (writes Steve, Annabel's husband and co-adventure...Read this update Hola de EcuadorSurprising as it may seem, we've survived both the first three weeks of married life and the fact that over two of those have been virtually solely in each other's company. Needless to say, we now feel the need to...Read this update |
