We are in Paros. Its a beautiful island in the Aegean sea. We have had tons of fun, been here for about 5 days now. Hired a scooter for a couple of days, fell off on the first night, driving alittle drunk. We are now in a hotel that has a pool which is lovely to swim in and laze round. Although we've managed to do the whole island on the back of the scooter. Its a great island, lots to do, heaps of people but pretty laid back and relaxed as well. Tomorrow we are off to Santorini, which is meant to be beautful. Not sure how long we will stay there, probably 2 days, and then we are planning to go to Corfu on the other side of Greece and try to get to kefalonia, which is another beautiful island. Anyhoo, hope you are enjoying the winter, cos its hot hot hot here, and sunny, eat your hearts out! G and S xxx

Just arrived in Singapore. Very hot here. Very tired little ducks we are. 4 hours here then off to Athens. They have a smoking bar here which is cool, but we not drinky. Beers are S$9, which is $9 NZ, so too dear. Smokes $17 a carton though. Too tired to write anymore.

We are only 1 month away from leaving Gisborne, New Zealand. Can't wait, its 36 degs in Athens already, bring it on, its freezing here and been raining non stop! We are thinking already of changing our travel plans, maybe go inland to places like Switzerland and Germany and Amsterdam, who knows, we'll probably change our minds again when we get there! My sister says we should party hard in Greece on Ios where she lived and worked, so will have to check that out. So this is entry 1, hoping that we can keep this up throughout the trip. Watch out world here we come!
