So long, farewell.

I've had a great time updating this blog, and it's kept me out of Quentin's hair in the mornings when he likes to sleep in and I bounce out of bed, wide awake. But alas, it's over. Thanks again for sticking around. I'm on Skype, IM, email, mobile, even face-to-face for you lucky Auckland readers - stay in touch. Nic (and Quentin by proxy). xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The final pictures...

Quent makes the big leap into the waterfall in Luang Prabang.



Quentin's new and old jandals... the old ones were so worn out, they wouldn't get stolen anywhere.



Talk to the animals (this one's for you, Rich Church)



Me and the Mamasan of a pub we went to in Vang Vieng.... she was hard drinking and hard case. Up until a week before, the menu there had listed opium and mushrooms and marijuana, but she'd had to remove the items due to a police crackdown.



The beautiful view in Vang Vieng - amaaaazing.



Another gorgeous view in VV.



Quentin next to the Death Railway in Kanchanaburi.




Roooowwwwwllll!








Quentin got whupped by this kid at pea-knuckle and had to buy me a rose (ha!)



Mammouth Santa roaming the red light district in Bangkok on Christmas Eve.



Taipei 101, the world's tallest building. Yeah, not the best day to go.



Eight eyes.



Craig and Jess get hitched by the 15th hole, Denerau Island Golf Course, Fiji.



Quent and Josh in the luxury auto apres-wedding. And yes, they do look quite similar.



Pool bars rule, ok.



The view from our apartment. Thanks again Graham and Linda!

The dream is over.

Holler. So Quent and I touched down in Auckland early this afternoon, after a fabulous week in Fiji - the wedding was fantastic.

Reality beckons - first interview first thing tomorrow morning! Will post the last lot of photos in the next few days then detonate the blog in Feb this year. Thanks so much for reading, it's been nice to get your emails and feedback.

And - have a rocking 2007.

Love
Nic and Quentin
The Unemployed.

Coup? What coup?

Happy New Year all from beautiful Denerau Island in Fiji! All is well in resort-land and there is absolutely no sign of any military intervention at all round these parts.

We've caught up with the bride and groom to be, Craig and Jess, and they are in good shape for what is going to be a fantastic wedding in the sun. More people arrive today so I think there'll be a "night before the wedding" celebratory dinner to be had somewhere, should be ace. Then, wedding tomorrow, a couple more days in the sun and back to reality - first job interview on our first day back. The dream is over!

A HUGE thank you to my aunt and uncle - Linda and Graham - for gifting us their beautiful time-share apartment here in Fiji. If it hadn't been for them it would have had to have been "two sweet months" in order to fit in this final leg.

One more post when I get back, then this blog will be finished! Til then...
