Tom and Jan
This blog is about us, Tom and Jan. After a decade of travelling from 'down-under' every two years to spend a brief few weeks having a wonderful canal holiday we decided to eliminate the travel and do it full time on retirement. In 2011 we moved to the UK and built Waiouru before spending 6 wonderful years cruising. In 2017 we sold our lovely boat and moved back to Perth, West Australia where other adventures are on the 'bucket list'.
