Perth - Australia - 26 Jan - 16 February 2014

Picked up a campervan in Perth and travelled down to Esperance. We went out to Lucky Bay, Cape Le Grand.  The whitest beach we have ever seen, beautifull views from coastal walks and Kangaroos on the beach.  Back up the coast to Augusta, Albany, Denmark, Peaceful Bay, Walpole, Pemberton, Margaret Riveer, Gracetown, Yallingup, Dunsborough, Busselton, Bunbury and Mandurah.  We had days on beautiful beaches such as Meelup and Smiths beach.  Did the Bushtucker Winery tour in the Margaret River, visited all the great sites such as the Natural Bridge, Whaleworld, Tree Tops walk, Jewel Cave and were in the water with the wild dolphins at Koombana Bay.  Over 3000 kms travelled!
Unfortunatly our section on the canal was sold so from here its back to NZ and the real world.

Beautiful Kaiteriteri, Abel Tasman, right on our door stop.  5 hour drive from Christchurch.  A front row camping site every Xmas.  Nothing beats these views and the beautiful beaches.



Thailand - Phuket - 5 - 10 December

Great days on beautiful Patong beach.  Calm warm water, made for great swimming.

Lots of shopping, mostly purchased from our sun chairs.  Good nights down Bungla Road, very entertaining.  All good things come to an end and it was here we departed for New Zealand to have Xmas with family.

Thailand - Hua Hin - 21 - 26 November

We booked a private transfer down to Hua Hin to relax  We stayed at a fairly new hotel with our own jacuzzi and a few steps down to a beautiful pool.  We only left our room to eat.  We both didnt realize how exhausted we were.  This travelling is hard work!

The beautifull beaches were not as we remembered.  They were still suffering the effects of the cyclone that had destroyed the Phillipines.
