Thanks to all who of you who have been reading our travel blog and the feedback you have given us. I know that several of you have had some trouble trying to comment on site, I'm not sure why that is, but we knew you were reading anyway.
We have decided to keep the blog going over the next few weeks, or until Xmas anyway so that some of the pics and video can be loaded up.
We'll also try and tell you some of the cool stories that haven't been told because of our technical issues such as Larry the Price Waterhouse partner we met in the Amsterdam casino who agreed that his expense account could afford to buy us happy "honeymooners" a drink. To our surprise he then bought us not one, but two bottles of Dom Perignon at 189 euro each. (heh heh, very nice thank you!
Or how we met an American guy in the smallest village in Cinque Terre who spends 6 months of his year working in Napier at the doctors Rachel used to go to when she lived there; she remembered his name!!!
Lots of people have been amazed at how much seems to happen to us when we travel; we thought it was luck for a start but we now realise that it's because we go looking for it.
The whole time we were away we ate "in house" only twice and had junk food once (McDonalds) as we were travelling late at night. Every other time we hit the town looking for somewhere cool to dine inevitably a) only going in if it looked cool and b) being the last ones to leave. In general if something looked strange, interesting, fun etc we gave it a crack.
Do that and you can't help but stumble across fantastic memories or at least a good conversation piece like how on our second to last night we hung out with a real live super model.
No pictures sorry to say, but we didn't actually know she was a famous person until afterwards...Doh!

Awesome Kevin and Rachel - you have written a fantastic account of your travels and I agree that you have gone and looked for the weird and wonderful. There is no point going somewhere new unless you are prepared to go out and talk to the locals and learn a bit about the place.
So welcome home and enjoy your Chistmas.
