It’s not all celebration, exotic adventure and high times on statravelbuzz.com (although in fairness it usually is) as just sometimes a mishap or two befalls our adventurers. This time it’s the turn of Ady from “around the world” blog – who despite proudly stating that he is ‘amazed [he has] lasted this long without losing something’ – has err… Lost his SD card.

And as if it couldn’t get any worse –

“Oh, and I just found a hole in one of my shoes, so I think I will have to buy some new ones. I thought converse were supposed to be good quality??! Think they’ve only lasted a few months…”

Still, on the plus side, onwards and upwards as all the photos have been backed up (remember this invaluable tip) and he and pal Liam are on their way to Townsville! Plus they’re travelling with Liam’s mate, a French guy called Kevin who has a big curly afro.

“That’s pretty cool”.
