Next stop…Malaysia! A long, hot and slightly unpleasant ferry ride from the beach on Koh Lipe, Thailand took us to the Malaysian island of Langkawi. Langkawi is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Malaysia and known for it’s laid back, relaxed vibe. We only had a short time in Langkawi so we […]
When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Pad Thai!
Thailand has been on our bucket list forever and we finally made it! Thailand did not disappoint and will likely go down as the most memorable portion of our trip for both good and bad reasons. To say our time here was eventful would be an understatement. Our Thai adventures began with a quick flight […]
We ❤️ Laos
Laos you surprised us! Before we arrived we hadn’t really given you much thought. You were just the quiet, tiny, unassuming country we had added to our agenda since we would be in the area on our way to Thailand. We didn’t really have many expectations or preconceived ideas, but you have awed us with […]
Reflections on Cambodia
We made it to Cambodia after a quick flight from Hi Chi Minh City. Our first stop was the Capital city of Phnom Penh, where we stayed for 3 nights at a very tranquil French owned hotel, The Kabiki. Phnom Penh is similar to the cities we described in our Vietnam blog in that it […]
Goodbye, Vietnam!!!
Dazed and confused – a good way to describe our first few days in Vietnam. After a long flight from Sidney we arrived into the chaos that is Hanoi. We managed to find our driver in the airport madness and made our way to our hotel in the Old Quarter. After a good night’s sleep […]
Aussie Adventures Part 2 – The Best Laid Plans
Mother Nature had different plans in mind for us during the later half of our Australian adventure. Despite our best efforts we were unable to drive to Cairns due to the devastating Townsville Floods. We made it as far north as Airlie Beach where we hung out for a few days in the water park […]
Aussie Adventures Part 1
We’ve almost reached the half way point of this adventure! It is hard to believe how fast time can fly. Some things we have done and places we have been seem like ages ago since we left Canada and in some ways it feels as if we just left. We are already starting to think […]
Kia Ora New Zealand!
Our time in Middle Earth has come to an end. We thoroughly enjoyed the 24 days spent in this amazingly diverse country. From miles and miles of picturesque sandy beaches to breathtaking glaciers to subtropical rain forests to spectacular fjords and rugged mountains. New Zealand really is a unique and special place. When we last […]
A Very Kiwi Christmas
From our family to yours…Merry Christmas! We hope this post finds you enjoying some relaxation and Christmas festivities! We arrived safe and sound in New Zealand after a long 26 hours from travel from Seychelles. It’s Christmas Eve and we are currently on the Interislander Ferry heading from the North Island to the South Island. […]
Beach Life
We’ve just spent 12 days in Paradise. Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Northeast of Madagascar and about 1600km east of Kenya. Our time was spent on the main island of Mahé and we stayed in the capital city of Victoria. It seems all of the […]
