Our route so far has taking us from Beijing to Hong Kong and from there to our current destination of Australia. We have been in Sydney for the past 3 and half months (working, checking out NSW, remembering what it was to be like a student, preparing ourselves for unemployment when we return), and will be starting our serious travel from the end of next month around Australia. We will be going to Broken Hill, driving and camping from Sydney to Melbourne, Tasmania, Adelaide, Alice Springs (camping in the outback for 3 days), Darwin and and then work our way down the East Coast back to Sydney. From there we will be going to New Zealand, Tahiti, Easter Island, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Spain. All in all not a bad lot of countries to visit. This journal is for those friends and family who would like to know where we are and how we are spending our time bumming around the world. Hope you guys enjoy reading about our travels and don't fall asleep too quick from reading them or looking at the millions of photos (the modern version of the slide show!!).
