Hello everyone. This is my Blog. I hope you enjoy it.
Anyway, the purpose of this is to try and document my experiences over the next 7/8 months as I plough through Oceania and then on through South East Asia, taking the rough with the smooth, the rise and the fall, the s***s and the, errr, giggles.
I have named this blog "Where's Olly"; an inspired play on words, giving a nod to the "Where's Wally" series by Martin Handford.
I shall be giving details of what I have done, what I plan to do and my current psychological state, whether it be elation, delusion or full on trauma. More than anything, this blog is for me as a record of my progress; its just easier to type than lug around endless volumes of journals.
The Planned (in the very loosest sense of the word) Itinerary
Go round Australia's east coast (partly with Rich Halstead) then down via Alice Springs back to where I started. On to NZ for a couple of weeks. Onwards to Indonesia. Over the Straits of Malacca to Malaysia. One month's voluntary work in KL. Explore the rest of the fatherland. Up through Thailand and the rest of Indochina. Let's see what happens.

This is my cat. He's called Tiger.
I don't have any preconceived notions of what Portuguese people are like but the bloke on the table next to me is pretty much a massive twat. Maybe he got less sleep than me. i doubt it. I got 20 minutes. The lady 2 tables acrros from me looks a lot like my ex boss which is funny cos last night when I couldn't sleep i wrote a letter to her saying sorry for being s*** at my job. I don't know why I did that, I probably won't send it. I should have just sent anonymous postcards from places I have visitied. Even better, anonymous postacrds from places I haven't visited. I don't know where I could get Mongolian or Congalese postcards in SE asia though. I'm sat waiting for a ferry to the Gili Islands. My head is throbbing in time with the corwing of the c*** and although I still have the face of a (somewhat) spritely 20 year old, this lack of sleep will eventually get the better of me. As long as i don't get crows feet before I'm 35. There's lenty of time to sleep when you're dead. If this ferry sinks then I'll probably drown/ Good times.
The portuguese guy is wearing obnoxious yellow bermuda shorts, a souvenir t shirt and thos awful velcro sandals that people still think are ok to wear in public. His wife/mistress/girlfriend/sister/mother looks like Jean Claude Van Damme. She has a face like a smacked arse. I say that as I sit here…
