For most of us when we think of driving around the world, we think of the open road where there’s no other cars and no real traffic laws. I feel thats going to be the case for 70% of the trip but the other 30% is filled with the joys of trying to navigate in […]

As most of you know, the ship ferrying our cars from Australia to Singapore arrived a week late, so we were forced to find something to occupy our time for a few days. We decided to cross over into Malaysia and take a taxi up to Mersing which is the departure point for Palau Tioman […]

Setting off at 10pm, we met our guide and his friend who had a car the would take us on the two hour drive to Selo. Since we did not go through a tourism company and being that we were in Indonesia, this seemed relatively normal. This feeling did not last long. Slowing down at […]

After spending nearly two months in Australia, it was a welcome change to disembark the plane in Denpasar, Bali Indonesia.

Anyone that witnessed the arrival of the Tundra and the Sequoia in Sydney can tell you that I was extremely excited but even more so, relieved. Planning for and shipping the Toyotas occupied a good deal of my attention before and after we left the States and in the process, may have also took a few […]
