Woo hoo! (with a hint of Eeeeeeeeeeek)
Just booked our round the world tickets!
Argh - quite scary!
So thought I'd better set about getting all my contacts lined up and see if anyone's going to be anywhere near us at any stage.
Our (vague) plans are as follows:
London - Goa (9th November)
Make our way North into Rajasthan and the foothills, leaving from...
Delhi - Bangkok (16th December)
Explore Thailand, Cambodia etc, making our way eventually down to...
Singapore - Bali (10th February)
Spend a bit of time in Indonesia before flying from...
Bali - Perth (3rd March)
Explore a bit of the West Coast before...
Perth - Adelaide (31st March)
Set up home somewhere for 3 months, working and getting more funds together
Sydney - Christchurch (21st July)
Freeze our nips off and look at pretty mountains, before going from
Auckland - Buenos Aires (28th June)
Overland over to Santiago, making our way up to...
Lima - New York City (19th August)
NYC - London (23rd August)
Large portions of niceness
Anyone fancy meeting up for a beer somewhere then?

And I bet it rocked
(for anyone who hasn't jumped out of a plane: Jump off a wall... for that brief second when you're coming down - that's like freefall, only it lasts longer

It was indeed truely awsome.
Just finished walking up Fox Glacier which was also very cool.
Off to Arthurs Pass tomorrow to see if we can squeeze in some walking, then up to the Queen Charlotte Track before ferrying back to North Island to try (for the third time) to do the Tongeriro Crossing...
Only a week left in NZ already! :o

Like sex, I'm much more interesting in real life than online.

Aye, it was pretty awesome doing it Just to say I´ve updated the first post with our new dates and added New York City in as we now have 3 days there... Not that this is a subtle attempt to blag some free accomodation off anyone there of course
Currently in Chile realising just how little Spanish we actually know. Ho-hum
