By Neil Where to begin? We were only in Sri Lanka for ten days and only saw a tiny part of the country, so our perspective is admittedly limited. Sri Lanka, I think it is fair to say, was well beyond anything we had expected; a true culture shock. That's not meant to imply anything …
Surfing in Sri Lanka
So, I went surfing in Sri Lanka (I feel like I just repeated what I said in the title). Anyhow, as my first time ever surfing, it was quite fun. It all looks so easy when everyone else does it, so why shouldn't I be able to do it? Should be a cinch. Not. A. …
Tuk-tuks, buses, bikes, and more…
By Rachel I know it sounds a bit weird, but I was fascinated by road transportation in Sri Lanka – this with the caveat that my Sri Lankan experience was limited to the area around Hikkaduwa, down to Galle, and a one-day excursion to the Uda Walawe National Park. And not just the means of …
Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka
By Pippa On Saturday the third of February we went to Uda Walawe national park. We had to wake up at, hmm, about three in the morning. It was so much fun! Well not waking up at three, but everything else was. We got up close and personal with, well, I've lost count how many …

Ginger Beer (part 1)
This is a blog post about... (wait for it) GINGER BEER!! Throughout my travels, I have found that I love ginger beer. From the Cook Islands to Australia, I have tasted many different ginger beers, some that are absolutely delicious and some that are, quite literally, meh. What I mean about that is that some …
Santos Festival of Cycling
By Neil Adelaide loves a good festival or two. No, really, the City even bills itself as “The Festival City” and they do it very well. The latest extravaganza was the Santos Festival of Cycling. Built around the Santos Tour Down Under, it was an amazing event featuring a cycling tour with a variety of …
Working without an office…
by Rachel Working without a dedicated office space - and staying focused - can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, but I'm happy to say that we have fallen into quite a nice rhythm in Adelaide. Most mornings we go to the Adelaide City Library, right in the midst of the CBD in Rundle …
New years eve in Adelaide
by Pippa (with help from Rachel) Unlike our usual cold New Year's Eve, this one was warm and we were able to celebrate it outside on the edge of the Torrens River in Elder's Park. Everything was outside -- street performers, bands, and food trucks galore! Thousands of people were there, so the park was packed. …
