    Hi Neil & Sarah, we love watching your travels. We're from Newy (Newcastle NSW), and you absolutely should stop in here (far better than Surfers), and living in the CBD with everything at your fingertips, we would be delighted to host you (as our guests) in our guest bedroom & bathroom on your way through. If you prefer your own space, would love to catch up on travel tales & maybe some insider tips to Newy.

    Straw hat would not be able to be squashed flat in your luggage. You need one that will, or at least a cap with material all over, no holes - or both hat and cap.

    I liked the straw hats on you Neil. Only problem is it can be packed easily when you move from place to place. I bought a nice one in San Miguel de Allende that can easily be rolled up to pack but still holds its shape. Loved the wandering video. Wanted to know if the sea was warm down there in Surfer’s paradise?

    Hi Neil & Sarah, really enjoying your videos. Here in Bangkok, it's been super sunny recently as we move into the Rainy Season.
