Welcome

Hi,

Welcome to Nikki and Mark's Round the World Blog.

We are setting off in August starting in China. Mark is heading off on the 16th to catch some Olympic events in Beijing and Nikki will be joining on 25th.

From Beijing we plan to head across to South Korea by ferry then overland to the east coast where another boat trip will take us to Japan. After a couple of weeks there we'll head round to Shanghai taking in the sights of China. We then plan to explore SE Asia including Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand (spending Christmas & New Year on the legendary party island of Koh Phangan), Malaysia then flying out of Singapore to Brisbane (Australia).


We'll spend a couple of months driving around the coast of South Australia before we catch a flight from Sydney to Santiago (Chilé) with a two week stop in New Zealand along the way.

From Santiago we'll see if we can catch a last minute flight out to Easter Island before exploring South America (Chilé, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana). When in Ecuador we're hoping to make it out to the Galapagos Islands to poke some tortoises and other crazy creatures. We then plan to island hop from Guyana to Mexico via Barbados, Dominica, Antigua, Dominican Republic and Cuba. Finally we'll head across the Mexican border to Belize, then to Guatemala before a long flight back to the UK and a hot shower and food we can pronounce.
