Perfect Palawan in the Philipines

 February 2023

The vast majority of our time in the Philipines was on Palawan, a small island. Arriving in Puerto Princesa on the 3rd of February we spent the next week on a tour around the island finishing up in El Nido, a lovely beachside town. It was an amazing island full of wonderful treks, boat rides, climbs and kayaking.

Cruising the South Pacific

 January 2023

Finally, with Covid on the downturn and the world opening back up it was time to get back on the road, or more correctly, on the ocean. We started with a cruise on Royal Caribbean around the South Pacific visiting a few countries like Vanuatu and New Caledonia.

Vanuatu was our favourite where we visited a place called Eden on the River and crossed a sequence of rickety hanging bridges culminating in a cooling swim.

There is no place like home

March and July 2022

As things started settling down after Covid we decided to explore with some short trips in our own backyard. First up was a trip down south including a climb up Bluff Knoll in the Stirling Ranges. A much more challenging climb than I expected. So MANY steps. Later we headed down to Wave Rock for a weekend. 

I have gotten very far behind in these blogs with many travels behind us that have not been put up here. So in the interests of keeping a record of our travels under increasing time constraints I will try to catch up by mainly posting pictures of our travels.
