Taking the long way home from Japan to Frome, UK

Tajikistan Video

For most of the time we were in Tajikistan poor old Brian was stuck in his box. To begin with it was too windy; then we were alongside the Afghan border and flying him didn’t seem like the cleverest idea!!

So, instead of a video full of beautiful footage from Tajikistan, you’ve got a video of us going about our daily chores that just happened to be filmed in Tajikistan! Kind of a ‘day in the life’…. that keen-eyed continuity buffs will spot wasn’t actually filmed in a single day!

Watching all the footage again makes us both feel sad that this part of the trip is over.

Kazakhstan: Video

Better late than never, here’s the edit of the footage we shot in Kazakhstan.

Apologies to the folk who are interested in seeing more of us as my videos seem to be going the other way and turning more and more into nature documentaries 😉

Enjoy!

Russia: Time-lapse movies

Since arriving in Russia, we’ve been driving in convoy with a Japanese couple we met on the ferry. Aside from making some new friends, it also gave us the chance to mount our camera on their car and make some time-lapse films. Neither of us were really sure what to expect, but they came out really well and give a good sense of the landscape.

Sayonara Japan!

The first week of our trip was also our last week of our 5 years spent living in Japan. So, it was a week full mostly of excitement, but also tinged with a bit of sadness that this will be the last we see of the place we’ve called home for the last 5 years.

Here’s an edit of the video we shot over the week!

Final practice – Nikkō

This weekend we got in our last practice camping mission before we set off for real in 2 weeks time!

We went to Nikkō (日光) and spent a few days randomly driving around in the mountains.

We also got to put in a few flights with our new toy, Brian. We bought him 2 weeks ago, but as there hasn’t been the light, weather or space to try him out he’d been confined to his box. But no more!
