The Round Up

So here is the round up.


We went to 17 countries in 363 days.
We stayed in 44* hostels/hotels, bnb's and guest houses.
We have slept in a cave,


a tree house,

a boat, a 600 year old castle, three buses, one train, a 1 star hotel, a 4 star hotel, the shittest of hostels to the best.

We have traveled on airplanes, trains, buses, mini buses, boats, cars, taxis, funicular and bicycles.
We caught 17 international flights without missing one.
(The closest we came was on the last flight from Sydney to Melbourne! We only made it because the flight was delayed by an hour).

We have experienced all kinds of toilet situations, squat, shelf, grassy field, you name it we probably used it.


We have had more cold showers than most do in a lifetime and lived for 5 months with a bath only bathroom situation.

We had some amazing meals


and some incredibly average ones (pretty much all in the UK).

We have learnt how to eat for under 5 pound and to check what the drink costs by the glass rather than fluid ounces.

We made a bunch of new friends

and found some old ones.


We have taken 8925 photo's and written a hand-full of postcards. (Mostly to our mums).

We have had a year that we will never forget. The biggest adventure of our lives.
Thanks for reading and occasionally commenting, we have missed you dearly and are so happy to be back in the arms of our beloved friends and family.


Mmmwah! Mmwah!

Now, if only we could find a damn house to rent....

*approximate, I have totally lost count now.
