HELLO + WELCOME as we cross Australia, Africa and Europe. It’s Gareth here with Part 2 from Aswan. Read PART ONE before you read on. In downtown Aswan the office was small and two Egyptian men occupied the room. One looked to be a high ranking officer and the other a plain clothes […]
HELLO + WELCOME as always. In this post we make it to the land of the pharaohs. Egypt! It’s Gareth writing today. Egypt had never been on my list of ‘must travel’ countries. Egypt didn’t excite me. Sure it has the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings and lots of other historic attractions but […]

HELLO + WELCOME as we make our way from Sydney to London, overland through Africa. It’s Kirsty here. Lalibela was a mystery to us both. Home to one of the most significant religious sites in the world we weren’t sure what to expect. What we found sent tingles up the spine. We […]
HELLO + WELCOME as we attempt to cross Africa and make our way from Sydney to London! It’s Kirsty here today with our second post on Ethiopia.
