Oaxaca, Mexico

February 17th, 2009

Out of Mexico, into Oaxaca. Once again, we get “hilariously” lost and test out our mediocre Spanish on underserving locals. Also: the best language school in Mexico, the most welcoming B&B, and what do tarantulas like to do when it’s cold? Get sociable with people, of course. Click here to real all.



Mexico City, Mexico

February 15th, 2009

The world’s largest, and some would say, most dangerous city on Earth is in Mexico. We visited and mostly were at risk from dying of hypothermia, because what no-one tells you is that it gets pretty nippy in the winter. Click here to see what you should do if you ever get there, and to read an account of what will happen if you’re fool enough to drive there.



Las Vegas, USA (+ video)

January 2nd, 2009

Fancy seeing some boobies and losing some/a lot of money? Visit Vegas and you can accomplish these things, often at the same time and without leaving your over-oxygenated hotel room. Also: this may be the only city in the world where you’ll be offered money in return for wanking. Click here to find out how.



Utah, USA (+ video)

January 2nd, 2009

Settled by Mormons, populated by rocks. I always assumed Utah would be more boring than Nebraska, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Click here to see why the Mormon state should be your next holiday.



Hawaii the second (+video)

December 8th, 2008

A warning for people who don’t like Lost: you might want to avoid the video. Otherwise, it was all beaches, turtles and murderous traffic as we waved goodbye to Hawaii. Click here to see how we got on.



The South Island and Fox Glacier, New Zealand

November 1st, 2008

We enjoy some thoroughly cold camping on New Zealand’s west coast, and go hiking over a glacier. See how many ankles we broke by clicking here.



Snowboarding in Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand

October 30th, 2008

We head to one of New Zealand’s most famous ski resorts, and monopolise a friend’s house in the name of getting out of our tent. Click here to see how we got on.



Skydiving, New Zealand (+ video)

October 28th, 2008

It’s a little known fact that if you visit New Zealand and try to leave without going sky-diving, they shoot you at the airport. That’s a FACT. So we - voluntarily - strapped ourselves to professional maniacs and discovered just how much damage you can do from twelve thousand feet. Click here to find out.



Waitomo caves, New Zealand

October 25th, 2008

Ever seen a rabbit being shaved? We hadn’t either until we went to Waitomo. Also: we give abseiling a try not once, but twice, in the name of glowworm spotting. Click here to see if it gets less scary the second time.



The Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

October 8th, 2008

Snorkelling, you say? Apparently you can do it in Australia. We throw caution to the wind and board yet another boat, hoping for less of a disaster than we got last time. And the time before that. And the time before that. Click here to find out when we’ll learn.
