Incredible India!!!

Hi All, we're now in India!! It's been an amazing adventure so far. We've been to multiple forts, temples, markets, and of course the Taj Mahal! Here are some pictures from the Taj Mahal and the spice market in Delhi. We heading off to the Ganges and tiger reserve park in the next few days. Our group and guide are great and we're all having a lot of fun together. I wish the internet was faster because we have soooo many beautiful pictures to show. We are also quite the tourist attraction here...attracting many locals. We call them the "Indian Paparazzi." They ask for pictures everywhere we go. One local told our guide "I've seen a few westerners before, but never this close." We have to laugh and of course pose for as many pictures as possible. At the Taj there was a line of people so long we had to start saying no. It's funny to think what they tell other Indians who see the pictures. We'll update more on the road. Namaste!

Farewell Thailand

Well, we're sad to say that it's our last day in Thailand. It's been an amazing adventure! Here are a few pictures from our last day here. The first is the area we're staying in called Khao San Rd, then the Grand Palace, the reclining Buddha(which is ~150ft long by 30ft tall), the gold Buddha, and a monk on our boat from Ko Samui. Off to Delhi, India next, we're looking forward to a new adventure, but sad to leave Thailand. See you in India!!

Trevor's Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Trevor!!

We're in Koh Samui, Thailand, on bo phut beach. We rented a sweet bungalow right on the beach with a big pool and a/c-it's quite a luxury for us lately! We've been chillin these past few days resting up for our trip to India. That should be an adventure by itself! We are meeting our good friends in India (hi Jen and Aaron) and we're looking forward to seeing them and hanging out!

We are backpacking and we wanted to post a picture of us with our packs on. It's hard carrying them in the heat...it's about 100 today and it's supposed to be 10 degrees hotter in India. AAAaahh!

Today we're planning on relaxing by the pool, on the beach, and then of course doing the traditional night out of pizza and beer for Trevor's birthday.

Ko Samui

Hi from Koh Samui! It was quite an adventure to get here, but it has been great so far! Here are a few pictures of us....we feel like we never have any pictures of the both of us. The beach is beautiful and the weather is hot! We'll update more soon!

Phuket Pictures

Hi All...we are now in Phuket, Thailand. We have spent the last few days at Kata and Karon beaches up the coast. The water is a beautiful green with waves larger than the pacific. It's also monsoon season here on the Andaman coast, but with breaks of sun! We took a trek yesterday and rode an elephant. It was really cool. We also hiked to a waterfall in the rainforest and canoed down a brown river. Finally we were treated to an authentic Thai dinner by the locals...which was very tasty!! It was quite an adventure! The other pictures are of the Andaman sea, this is the very place the tsunami hit the hardest, and Trevor in his Thai gear. The Thai people are so nice and we're having a lot of fun! Miss you all!

Thailand-!!!!

Hi All, sawatdee from Thailand!

We arrived Monday and have been trying to bare the heat for the last few days. We flew to Phuket yesterday and are now about to hit up the beautiful beaches. Yes, this is the area where the tsunami hit a few years ago. Here are a few pictures from our short time in Bangkok. One is a Hindu temple for goddesses and the other is of the beloved lotus flower. We'll update more soon from the beach!

Last NZ Post

Well...this will be our last post from NZ before leaving for Thailand on Monday. We are now back in Auckland after returning our campervan today. Here are some pictures of the "Bay of Islands" and the NZ countryside. Our last few days were a little rainy, but still very beautiful. We'll update in Thailand!
