Having been on the road for more than half of our trip we have started to reach a point where we have been missing a few of the creature comforts and variety of home.

So in case you wondered what kind of things we have been missing whilst away here are our miss lists....(friends and family are a given so we've not listed these!)
Julia's 'miss' list:
- My wardrobe. Back home waking up for work and deciding what to wear felt like a chore, but now I miss being able to choose! I really missed my heels and dresses in Sydney but in Asia just other sweat and dust free option would be nice!
- Perfume. Eau de Deet really doesn't cut it when you want to feel fresh and smell sweet after a day on the road or more to the point after a night bus!
- Minced beef. Lasagne, Spaghetti Bolognese, Meatballs, Burgers, Cottage Pie...all those home comfort classics we cook at home. Noodles with chicken, pork and mutton (actually goat in Asia) are getting very "same, same" right now!
- Our bed. We have stayed in some great little hotels and air b n b's along the way, but nothing beats the feeling of jumping into your own bed and letting the mattress take the weight of your weary limbs.
Chris' 'miss' list:
- English Ale. After 3 months of drinking watery, gassy lager, nothing even comes close to the taste of a good British Ale.
- Football. Playing football, watching football, talking about football...just football!
- Pub food. Gammon and chips, fish and chips, Burger and chips...well anything with a good pile of chips and tomato ketchup!
- Drinkable tap water. The most asked question of everyday of our travels has been "how much for big bottle of water?". Planning ahead for how much we'll need and brushing teeth with bottled water is a right old pain!
