We got into a right old PADI
Apologies that we have got out of date on the postings but we have been too relaxed enjoying life in Perth. We haven't felt like we've been travelling for the last month or so, therefore updating the web site has not been part of every day life. Well here's a brief update of the last couple of weeks. The last posting ended with us arriving at Jurien Bay with Tina, Thembi & Joel. We had a…

Took a walk down to the coast, just really getting a feel for laid-back Darwin! Yesterday we got back into culture... NOT! Well sort of it, we got to see some of the delights of Australia's Northern Territory (NT to the locals).…
Dolphins and Snorkeling
We haven't posted in a week, you best get ready for a major update! We arrived in Bali on Thursday night, not knowing where the best place to start was, we got talking to another traveller who was heading to Kuta. It seemed the good thing to do, so we shared a taxi with him. Tired from the flight, we booked into the first hotel we got to. The room was only £7 per night…
