Feeling bad for poor Gobey

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 | By phill-dionne-gobey | Views [297]

Well the hospital here must be amazing as today Gobey has come home with another wound from minor surgery. Today he went for a full burn out of a small wart on his finger. Yes it may have been down to me saying I didn’t like it (and buying ... Read more >

Thu, 12 Jan 2012 | By phill-dionne-gobey | Views [448]

Well this is my new claim to fame, with all our bags we finally get to see how much it all weights while waiting to see if we are getting on the chopper. With all bags we have collected we are now at the great weight of 104kg!!!! Yip that’s ... Read more >

Heading Back

Well that’s 4 weeks gone and it’s time to start the long haul back to site. We start with a very tearful goodbye to mum (she didn’t even come to the airport this time). We check in on our BMI flight to London and get told we need to collect ... Read more >

It’s cold here, but still very exciting

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 | By phill-dionne-gobey | Views [325]

We landed at the nice hour of 6am and it takes almost 45mins to get off the plane and get to our bags. And WOW was it cold. Both Gobey and me couldn’t get our jackets on quick enough. We went from 33C in Timika to 32C in Bali to a brisk ... Read more >

Poorly Poorly Kingy

Thu, 15 Dec 2011 | By phill-dionne-gobey | Views [269]

No that was not a passing 1 hour bug. That was a 14 hour flight of pure torture. I have S&D for the whole flight. I couldn’t sleep I was so sick. I have a sore back because I have been so sick. There was no spare seats for me to lay down and try ... Read more >

First flight down (Timika to Bail) and we now have 5 hours to fill in before the next flight to Singapore. So with that Dewa the driver I use in Bali has picked us up and is taking us to a few stores, grab some food and back to the airport before the ... Read more >

We are down in the Rimba and its hot!! We get sorted out in the room and head to the pool side to get our sun on. Not much point missing out on a last minute super tan before we hit the cold in the UK. Now I have done the sitting ... Read more >

Bali to Lombok and back again to Bali

Mon, 5 Dec 2011 | By hootons | Views [985]

Our start to Bali wasn’t the best. After the Indonesian budget airline lost Angie’s luggage (they sent it to the wrong country apparently) we were stuck in Kuta, the tacky tourist capital crawling with drunken Aussie Surf dudes, waiting (not too patiently) ... Read more >
