Not shy of wearing out the old proverbial shoe leather, Mike and Bex of Around the World in 6 months and Bex’s Travels respectively have moved on from Asia to Brisbane – and are having a wonderful time by all accounts.

“We love Brisbane, the weather is sunny but cool, we are wearing socks and shoes for the first time in months and months. It seems like such a cool city, with loads of really liberal little shops and we just have had a really nice time here…”

…says Mike. And Bex agrees, despite hearing that the place was really ‘boring’. Of course, however good a place is – it’s always about the company one keeps. Company that has been magnificent of late according to Bex…

“We’ve spent the past 2 nights sitting in our dorm with a big Irish group that we’ve met drinking goon (wine in a box, I don’t know why it’s called that), and I think we’re planning on going out somewhere tonight.”
