About the trip
As you are all no doubt aware, we are the laziest most unorganised people you will ever meet. So it is after many hours of playing Playstation that we have come to the conclusion we have no idea where we are going or what we are doing. Wicked!
However due to the patient persistence of Mike’s mum we do have something that kind of resembles a plan.
Vanuatu
Vanuatu is one of Australia’s closest neighbours and where we will be spending the first 8 weeks of our trip. During that time we will be working in a dive centre to help pay for our beach huts with the option of diving every day. At the end of the 8 weeks we will hopefully be fully qualified Dive Masters and have done some pretty awesome dives!
Australia
A quick flight back to Australia will see us in Sydney around May 1st where we will start the travelling side of our holiday. We plan to greyhound (coach) it up Australia’s East coast for 5-ish weeks to reach Brisbane. Obviously with the odd stop off here and there for some dives on the Great Barrier Reef.
New Zealand
From Brisbane we catch another flight to Auckland in the North of New Zealand. Once again were using coaches (Kiwi Experience) to travel down to Christchurch on South Island. (another 5-ish week time period). Hopefully with some sky diving, bungee jumping and white water rafting thrown in for good measure!
Thailand
A quick 2-week stop off in Bangkok on the way home for some cheap DVD players and some fun with the Lady boys and we should be arriving back on your door steps around July 15th with a lot of photos for you to look at and stories for you to listen to!
At least that’s the plan anyway……..
