About this blog

Welcome,

If you are visiting this site you obviously know who myself and lego man are. This trip has been in the planning now for nearly 2 years and as i write this it is coming ever closer to being reality. Ben is currently counting turtles in Costa Rica, so i have taken over the helm of cheif geek in setting up this blog. We are, for those who don't know, traveling around Japan, Australia, NewZealand & Hong Kong. We are planning to be back on the 9th of July, but that date is negotiable!

We will be trying our absolute best to update this with stories and pics as often as possible. Not sure whether people can respond with messages or not, really new to this whole thing!!

But enjoy!! Thom, Ben
