Click to see our India trip

Hello from the Windleys. We now have a new website that we are keeping up to date. This will let you know where we are and how Colin is doing. Please click here to see the site.

A big hello everyone who has been checking our web site. We are sorry we have still not updated this site. We are hoping to do so before April next year.

This year has been spent, in the Far East. We have had 8months travelling through the beautiful beaches and dive sites of the Philippines then walking under the cherry blossom in Japan and musing on its extraordinary history then on to South Korea with its wonderful food. We moved down the coast of China with its fascinating history and European meddling. We crossed over the sea to Taiwan before spending the last 3 months in Indonesia diving walking and having amazing encounters with wild life. We hope to update the travelogues. In the mean time enjoy each day and very happy travels. Dec 2011.

Below is a link to our Far east photo album. we will be adding more photos later

The Far East 2011

South America 27th December 05 to 24th November 06

We began our journey on the on the 27th of December flying down to Ushuaia at the tip of Argentina for a trip to South Georgia and the Antarctic which was a magnificent experience. We moved on into Patagonia in Chile and Argentina and then North to Santiago and Easter Island . After a month in Boliva we moved into Peru for seven weeks. We have spent 6 weeks in Ecuador and the Galapagos and 4 weeks in Colombia and managed to go by bus all the way to the end of the Andes.

We completed an Amazon trip from Letica in Columbia to Belem in Brazil with a detour up into Venezuela and the magnificent Angel falls. We travelled down the north coast of Brazil to Rio then to the Pantanal and Boneto before reaching the amazing Iguasu Falls. Later we flew down to Buenos Aries and on by bus to the wonderful Valdes Peninsular with Southern Right Whales, Orca and Armadillos before returning to Buenos Aries and then back to UK in November.

A bit about us....

We dreamed of retiring early and spent 20 years travelling together on short holidays. We were fortunate enough to be able to leave work early 6 years ago so we now have the time to travel.

We have spent 3 months in the Pyrenees and 13 months in Australia driving a converted Land Rover through remote places. On our way back to Britain we backpacked for 4months in South East Asia (Sabah Cambodia Vietnam and Laos). In 2004 we backpacked for 5 months in Nepal Tibet Burma and Sarawak. In 2005 we spent over 5 months in India.

Below are a few Photos from our Himalaya trip October to December 2009 w hope to add our travelogue later.
