Stokes, Fitzgerald River, Stirling Ranges and Porongurups (Van around Australia Part Three)
After Cape La Grand, we headed west along the coast for a national park bonanza. First stop was Quagi beach which was a nice campsite attached to a beach. Then next we headed for Stokes National park which was full of wildlife. After Stokes we headed for Fitzgerald River National Park which had a heap…
Nullarbor to Esperance: The Search for Western Australia (Van around Australia Part Two)
Ceduna SA – Esperance WA (28th April – 30th April) We set off from Ceduna across the Nullarbor. It was a bit repetitive but it wasn’t as bad as we expected. There wasn’t much in the way of official campsites (outside the expensive and depressing roadhouse caravan parks) but we found an amazing cliffside campsite/place…
Santiago to Reykjavik: 126 Days, 126 Seconds
We tried to take one second of video footage for every day of the Santiago to Reykjavik leg of our journey. Sometimes we forgot, and sometimes we took more than one video on a day so the amount of seconds at a particular place can be slightly off but each country is timed properly….
USA: Heading East
We arrived in Nashville, Tennessee on Independence Day only half through planning. As it turned out, Nashville hosts one of the biggest Independence Day festivals and fireworks displays in the country with 280,000 people attending. The whole centre of the town is closed to traffic and there is live music and food stalls lining the…
USA: Death Valley and Nevada

Death Valley holds the record for the hottest recorded temperature on Earth which was given to us in Fahrenheit which…

Nicaragua: The only thing to fear is the sun
San Juan del Sur San Juan del Sur was the first place we visited when we got to Nicaragua. The interstate bus dumped us on a highway in Rivas and we had to flag down a bus heading in the direction of San Juan del Sur. The buses, which were donated American/Canadian school buses, barely…
The rest of Costa Rica: Sloth Mayhem!
So we got a bit over excited with the the animal sanctuary so we need to go back and fill in the rest of our time in Costa Rica. San Jose The capital of Costa Rica is San Jose. We had to go there to use the airport and the bus terminals. There are about…
Cuba Part 1: Havana, Varadero and Trinidad de Cuba
Havana We were not off to a good start when we arrived in Cuba and were immediately singled out from the crowd at customs and interrogated. After getting through customs we were interrogated again by another woman who checked the answers with what we said at the first interrogation. The type of camera we were…
Cuzco and Machu Picchu (but mainly Machu Picchu)
We arrived at Quosco (that’s the local Quecha word for it before the Spanish mangled it) which sounds a lot like the bulk household goods warehouse we are all so fond of, but what it had in bulk was very, very nice squares and colonial architecture (at a low low price). Did we mention the…
