On 14th June, after 10 weeks of social distancing in Victoria, we were finally on the move again. Heading as far north as we could get, leaving behind winter and chasing summer so that we’d never have to experience this again:

Self-isolating in style
That time has come round again – It’s 5 years to the day since we retired, left The Netherlands and got on a one-way flight to Bali to start our lives as “Permanent Tourists”. And here we are – More “Permanent” than “Tourists” 🙂

We’ve been back in Australia for just over 3 weeks now and are really enjoying the laid back life style of Darwin.

It’s been quite a while since the last post and this is mainly because we’ve spent the past months mostly returning to places we’ve already visited (Hue and Hoi An in Vietnam, Bali, and Krabi, Thailand).

Sad to be leaving Australia and the camper – Excited to be returning to Asia
After returning to the mainland from Tasmania, we’ve spent our last six weeks in Australia slowly heading back to Brisbane. Continue reading
Shimmying in Fiji

Bangkok car fumes beat those of Vientiane
Originally we were only going to stay in Thailand for a week. However, as our passports are filling up at an alarming rate and we want to postpone getting new ones for as long as possible, we decided to stay for the full length of the 30 day visa which is issued on arrival. Continue reading
Outback dining
Leaving Queensland and driving South into New South Wales we very nearly became the dumb tourists who underestimate the vast distances between “towns”. It would have been very embarrassing to run out of diesel in the middle of the Outback!!! Continue reading
Dinner’s up!
We left Redcliffe, Brisbane with no real plan. What we hadn’t realised was that the day we chose to set off coincided with the start of a long weekend, consequently the roads were packed with families heading out to the coast. Continue reading

The Fearless Critter Killer
Beginning of March and after more than seven weeks on Ko Libong we’re ready to move on. Our stuff is loaded onto a long-boat and we head off to our next destination: Another small island to the South called Ko Sukorn. Continue reading
Life on an island

So, here goes …..

the flight to Bali was uneventful
Flew from Kota Kinabalu, Borneo back to Bali on 8th September. A mere 2.5 hour flight and we were back on Indonesian soil. We’re intending to stay around 3 months this time. Continue reading
