  • Horny animals with big teeth

    Ey up all! It’s been a few weeks since Viv’s last post and about time for another update from the road… We didn’t do an awful lot in Durban, just chilled out and spent a bit of time on the internet, got a visa for Mozambique, got lost on a bus and ate a curry […]

  • Floods and roaches

    It sounds like something biblical doesn’t it? We’ll it’s not all that bad, quite entertaining when you look back! A lot has happened since we left gorgeous Cape Town. Our first stop on our way up the coast was Nature’s valley. It absolutely poured it down and we spent most of our time cowering under […]

  • Cape Town

    Apologies all for the length of time it has taken us to get round to writing a post, we’ve just been in a lot of places where the internet is either non-existant or prohibitevely expensive, couple that with needing to prioritise sorting out fundraising for our voluntary work (still time to donate!) has resulted in […]

  • Chilling complete, back to the travelling

    And we’re really looking forward to getting on with it again, we fly to Cape Town tomorrow to explore the southern reaches of Africa. We are both very excited indeed and it’s thanks to a couple of weeks chilling with Rightee that the travel magic’s back! Under our collective, Mary style, name of VAJ (Viv, […]

  • Your help needed! – John and Viv’s charity fundraising challenge.

    In October we will be going to Madagascar for 10 weeks of voluntary work out in the jungle. During this time we will be living in a tent and will pretty much eat nothing but beans and rice (mmm, lovely beans and rice!). We also need to learn French, and fast, as that’s the only […]

  • Chilling in Chiang Mai

    What have we been up to in the last couple of weeks? Erm, not a lot to be honest. After over 7 months of fairly fast-paced travelling we decided that we were long overdue a bit of a break to slow things down a bit. The three days of travelling to get to Chiang Mai […]

  • Thank you!!!

    Yes, I am officially reet old now! Reet reet old! My birthday was absolutely amazing and that’s a big thank you to loads of people for making it that way! The day was great, I wasn’t born until seven twenty in the evening and as we’re 6 hours ahead here I could have a great […]

  • Laos – Straight to the roundup

    Sorry guys, I did half write a post a couple of weeks ago but then managed to get a mystery illness and didn’t quite finish it. In truth the pair of us have had sensitive stomachs for our entire time in Laos. We put it down to the heavy handed use of spices. There’s nothing […]

  • Vietnam Round up

    No prizes for guessing that we really enjoyed it! We spent almost a month there and will be back like a shot if the opportunity presents itself in the future. The usual roundup’s been harder to write this time as there were so many good things it’s been difficult to group them. GOOD Hanoi and […]

  • Guns and goats

    Since Viv last wrote we’ve left Vietnam and now find ourselves in a the laid-back capital of Asia, Laos. We should fit right in! And so to bring you up to date on our antics since Viv last wrote…. We left Saigon and headed back to the centre of Vietnam on a loooong sleeper train. […]
