Wuyuan’s countryside is scattered with beautiful Huizhou villages – the buildings are very distinctive, white washed with curved black roofs, all clustered together and surrounded by hills and vegetable crops. The Huizhou villages are the home of wealthy merchants; young men of the house are sent away to earn money in lumber, tea, salt etc…

Up in the clouds of Huangshan
Mount Huangshan, otherwise known as the yellow mountains are said to be among the most impressive of China’s mountains. So as nature lovers we had to visit the area. After battling through Hangzhou’s traffic in a battered taxi full of cctv cameras we got a bus from the west bus station to Tangkou, a 20…
Two hooligans cycling around West Lake
It was time to leave Shanghai so we got back on Harmony the super fast train and headed south to Hangzhou, said to be one of the most famous sites in China. When we got off the metro we had a complete change of scenery, we walked through an area of street stalls and everyone…
A water town with a cat cafe
The friendly chap in our hostel told us their were lots of buses to Zhouzhuang, one of the most popular water towns outside Shanghai. We got to a very modern bus station and found out there wasn’t a bus for 2 hours, such a pain, so I tried to think of any other watertowns I’d…
Exploring Shanghai
We started our day with a delicious coffee at our hostel with the zen garden and trickling pond in front of us and then headed onto the very easy to follow metro line to East Nanjing Road. It’s a huge pedestrianised road with a variety of shops and eateries. We followed it down to The…
First impressions of China
It’s been a whole year since we were last travelling and that was our road trip through Europe – it’s been nearly 3 years since we were backpacking, so understandably we feel a bit behind the times and like a couple of retirees trying to fit in with the youngsters. We’re planning on exploring Eastern…
Our final roadtrip video around Europe
Living in a van makes us go abit loopy, when there’s no TV we are the only entertainment and making these silly videos each time we entered a new country certainly made us laugh. While I always attempted to do a local accent (usually sounding German) Craig decided to do Chinese and Indian accents, for…

Two crazy fools road tripping around Europe
When we began our Europe road trip back in May 2014 I told Craig I wanted to do a video every time we entered a new country…Craig wasn’t keen. I thought it would be a great idea to do each video in the accent of that country…Craig decided he didn’t like that idea either and…
Platypus Bush Camp | Pure paradise in Australia
Journal Snippet | November 2008 | Roadtrip from Mackay to Finch Hatton Gorge The night before our roadtrip the heavens opened and it totally pissed it down like a river falling out the sky. It was only for 30 minutes but the intensity caused the mighty falcon to leak badly and the drivers foot-well had…
