Welcome to our travel blog: this is the story of how we get from London to Auckland, via Africa and South America. It feels like it has taken us FOREVER to get to this point – but now all the planning and saving and deciding where to go has finally come to an end and we are ready, well as ready as we are ever going to be. We think we’ve got everything we need, and probably a whole lot of things we don’t need, but having never done a trip like this before there’s a fair bit we’ll no doubt learn as we go along.
12 boxes homeward bound
Packing up our London flat after 6 years was easy enough; packing our backpacks for this trip however was not so easy. Part of the difficulty has been deciding what to take – if you’ve only going to take one pair of trousers they had better be good ones!Surveying the colossal pile of clothes and equipment we wanted to take was definitely our first indication we’ve got too much stuff, but what really confirmed it was needing to sit on my backpack and haul the zips up. Oh well, never mind; job done now.

Backpacks full and ready to go
So let the adventures begin; first stop is a 13 day tour of Egypt.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon.
