:-)

I write this as we settle down for the night on our surprisingly still comfy air bed, in the back of our van. With only 6 nights left in here we are feeling somewhat relieved and sad at the same time. We've had some real adventures in this thing. 

New Mexico has been and gone! A very quick visit, yet still very well worth the visit. It was fascinating seeing the different architectural styles. We arrived late, and found a spot in the forrest to sleep. What a lovely spot to wake up to! 


We visited a small wildlife zoo in Albuquerque. This was really awesome as it is the only zoo in the world that has been built up by volunteer youth. They save animals that have been hurt or illegally taken from the wild, and that wouldn't survive back in the wild. It was a small place, but we were able to see a black bear, two baby mountain lions, coyote, wolves, alc and lots of birds with broken wings :-( 

We drove right through Arizona to San Diego in California. Here we visited La Jolla Cove which was a very groovy place. Checked out all the lazy, moody seals on the beach and strolled the beach trail admiring the beachfront homes (mansions!).




Next we visited Balboa Park. This massive park is in the middle of the city, it has something like seventeen museums and some beautiful gardens.





We are now currently in LA staying around Santa Monica. Today we spent the day at the beach and exploring the pier :-)




Tomorrow we have Venice beach and Hollywood on the cards. Eek! Very excited..it's nice to be back in the city!

Xx Grace and Theo

Calungute, Goa

We are feeling much better about life in India this week. One night at Vailannkani Guest House turned into six nights. The cleanliness and comfort was just what we needed. This week has consisted mainly of walking the markets, eating, playing cards on the beach, eating some more and exercising. Even though it is the monsoon season here it really doesn't rain that often. A dark, gloomy cloud will once or twice bucket down for five minutes and then it will be over. We have decided to venture to North India for a week and have booked flights for tomorrow to Jaipur in Rajasthan, from there we will go to Udaipur and on the 2nd of September we fly to Kerala. We hope all is well with everyone back home. Love and miss you all. xxx G & T Baga Beach Our lady of Piety Chapel Local fruit.veg shop - 90p/$1.70 for cabbage, capsicum, 7 bananas and 5 tomatoes Walking from Calangute Beach to Baga Beach Baga Beach Local restaurants on the beac...

Pai :-)

We thought we loved Chiang Mai but we have totally fallen for Pai!! Today we were up at 7am. A difficult task these days. Headed to Pai. The road, we were told, can be very dangerous. Checked out the minivan option..heard only horror stories of crazy bus drivers, people fearing for their lives, and vomit. Hmmm. So we decided to take it on ourselves!! Hired the scooter for some extra days. Chucked our bags into a minivan (they took them to Pai for us-very handy!) and off we went!  We were very happy with our decision to drive the road ourselves, as we got to see the most stunning scenic views. Something you would not be able to see in a winding minibus. It took us a little longer than five hours to get to Pai. Pai is a lovely, relaxed little town. We are staying in a gorgeous little bungalow about ten minutes from the centre of town. The gardens are beautiful!
