I realise that I left the blog in a bit of a loop since I last posted an entry on Sept 10th. This was deliberate on my behalf as I hated coming back to it since we had to cut our trip short by three months. As most of ye know, I hurt my back while at the end of our...
Its been a rollercoaster of a week since we left Australia to say the least. At this stage I’m very grateful to be still travelling. To continue from where I ended the last blog entry, I managed(only just) to make my way from Brisbane to Bangkok without a wheelchair....
It’s been quite the turn-a-round in the past week for the Australian part of the trip. The first week was a little of a disappointment for us in terms of expectations, but the past week has been the total opposite! We decided after we reached Mackay along the east...
