Well, I've made it this far.

After being in New Zealand November til Feb, the Australia for a month, then Kingdom Of Tonga for a month, then Cook Islands for a month, i'm back in Auckland and head off to Asia on Tuesday for 4 months starting in Thailand, then Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. If I have time I may head into Malaysia and possibly Singapore too.

Bit of a shitter yesterday though, some pikey scumbag came into the hostel i'm staying in and nicked all my camera gear - 1 x Nikon 35mm SLR, 3 x Nikon Lenses and a nice flash gun - about a Grands worth altogether, not much I can do though. The person who did it will die of AIDS hopefully.

Anyway, I though i'd stick some photos up for you all.

Enjoy





























We went to the Islands where Shipwrecked was filmed - Shark and Tiger Islands, no one ever goes to them and we had the place to ourselves, all the camp was still there, even the dodgy toilets! I've got some photos of the stuff, i'll put em up another day though.

Have a fun day!

so envious mate, just done 3 weeks in Oz myself and was no where near long enough, planning to go back early next year for a few months. Fell in love with the place compared to this shitty country.

I organised the trips myself, the ones in the boat we got a private charter on. As for the rest, its all independent travel, no organised tours or anything.

Yeah, my life does suck

Back in the UK late October - Starting a freelance photography business so the fact I had loads of kit nicked, apart from being a pain in the ass, isnt too bad coz all my decent kit is back home.
