About this blog

Hello and welcome to the travel diary or "weblog" of Giles and Nikki.

We're leaving behind the hustle and bustle of London for the hustle and bustle of Sydney but with a large gap in between. For us it should be a long, ill-earned holiday and we can more or less guarantee there'll be no war zones, no slumming it and certainly no 'finding ourselves'....probably.

...but read on and hopefully the following pages will make a welcome change from staring at word or excel all day (or even confetti.com, you know who you are!).

Cheers

Giles & Nikki
