Glad you're enjoying yourself!
Really jealous you're getting to see Melbourne and the GOR. I couldn't do it when I was there as it was too cold!
Koalas smell funny don't they?
Where are you staying in Brisbane? Just to let you know, Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin one) is just outside Brisbane and well worth seeing.
Jacob, make sure you check out the Southbank area and the artificial beach if you haven't already.
Good for you guys One of my friends and his partner have just done what you have it seems like a popular thing too do in this odd world we live in and its completely understandable when onces life can end so suddenly these days.
One question I would like to ask and that is how much money do you and your partner have in your bank account before setting of on an adventure like this ? And what plans do you have when its all over ?
I'll be following you guys as I want to do this myself once I have no debts all bills to worry about.
We've budgeted around £1000 per month each to do this. We know that Aus & NZ will cost more per month but SE Asia will be considerably cheaper so it'll balance out.
We will both come back with plenty of change so no panic there. Afterward...we want to travel more! Do some volunteering, visit countries we haven't been able to this time around.
No other plans or commitments. I won't be coming back to England though!
I hope you're taking good care of that!
