6 Months in.

Believe it or not, we have already come to the 6 month point of this epic journey and it just keeps getting better.  Australia has been the high point so far, ironic considering it was never high on my must see list.  Emma has raved about Australia since the early days of planning this trip and has even called it her second home (before MK can you believe it!)

Our journey has taken us the length of the west coast from the very north to the very south, which was no mean feat considering the distances involved.  We have also travelled the more populated east coast and see a very different Australia ending in the heart of Australia - Sydney.  The people we have met along the way have made this part of the trip especially rewarding for us and the Ozies definitely win the award for the friendliest people on the planet.  Yes, I know that most of them are drunk most of the time but even the ones that are not are just as friendly.  I have always wondered why so many people from England emigrate out here and after our short visit I can understand why.  Australia is an incredible place leaving a lasting memory for me and a place we will have to come back to explore the bits we missed.

The final stage of our trip before we return for Christmas will be 6 weeks in New Zealand and a final weeks holiday in Fiji before the long flight home.  New Zealand is a place Emma has also visited before and has been top of my must visit places.  We are still excited about the trip and can’t believe how quickly its going, however funnily enough we are also excited about coming home to see family and friends and the next adventure of trying to find a job.

We hope you’re still enjoying the blog as much as we enjoy writing them, keep reading not much more to go now we promise!
