Under the map - 61 days to go


We have been busy bee’s recently! Working hard to save for our trip and enjoying time with our wonderful pals in the sunshine. I have been a bit lame on the blog front (Papa and Chris told me off)- I need to make it more of a regular thing ! Underneath our huge world map on our bedroom wall we have made our very own travel corner which is nearing completion, we have pretty much got everything we need including:

Two backpacks, travel towels, walking boots, film and camera, medication and pharmaceuticals, light clothes, sun creams, money wallets, hats, mosquito repellent, ultimate travel wash, first aid kit, adaptors, torches, guide books (thanks ma and pa!), anoraks, fleeces, penknife, wash bags etc etc!

Here are some pictures of me and Chris looking super rad (ahem) in our backpacks:



I’m pretty impressed with our organising skills - jabs are sorted, visas sorted, flights are sorted (which are):

29th June - London Heathrow – Delhi India

30th June – Delhi India – Kathmandu Nepal

19th July - Kathmandu Nepal – Delhi India

19th July - Delhi India – Hong Kong

31st October – Singapore – London Heathrow

So far there is no set plan apart from 2.5 weeks in Nepal then meeting Dan and Steph in Hong Kong, after that we are just going to float along enjoying the different tastes and cultures Asia has to offer!

We have been keeping ourselves busy with trips to London, walks out (testing out the new boots!), eating great dinners and great conversation with Ma, Pa and our friends, watching loads of new films from love film (I recommend “Sunshine Cleaning”!) and planning our trip. I’m getting too excited reading all of the guide books, looking up hostels and trips for us to go on. Luckily we have a nice few weekends planned too- both Chris and I have 4 days off (thanks bank holiday!), were off to a family wedding this Saturday; next week the wonderful Alice and Elliot are coming to stay and then two weeks after that the amazing Sara is coming for a cheeky visit too.

Things are looking good! Here’s a nice picture of us all in the sunshine.



Keep well! Love to you all E. x x x
