Hi Everyone, Well,I'm back in Kuala Lumpur--need a bit of luxury,and do a bit of shopping--mostly to replace the stuff I manage to leave behind at just about every stop!! To fill you in on the Bali section of this trip--I did hire a motorbike for a day,and rode along the North Coast to Gilimanuk--a port catering for travel to Java.A very hot sweaty and at times nerve wracking journey--you have to have ridden over here to believe the way they drive--overtakin...

If this is a repeat---I apologise!! This perishing machine keeps freezing up,and I don't know if a previous entry is waiting to be entered or has disappeared into the ether. Last day on the Seaventure Oil Rig---BooHooo!!! It has been fantastic--so good,in fact that I stayed an extra night---just to get some more dives in on Sipadan. I've managed 9 dives on Sipadan,and 7 other dives.Everyone has been terrific,local ones mostly for the small unusual critters---...

Hi Everyone, Well,finally managed to upload a few more piccies,if you are interested. Have had a great time in KK---Terry and Tracy have been brilliant. We went out for supper a couple of nights ago,and on the way back I spotted a stand selling Durian fruit.Couldn't persuade T and T to try it,but I got through a whole fruit-----with a smal crowd of locals watching--they'd never seen a white man who enjoyed Durian!!! Last night Terry invited me to a lo...

Hi Everyone, I'm beginning to think this blog idea isn't such a good one--for piccies and the like,at least.I'm in Kota Kinabalu,Sabah (Borneo),using Tracy's computer,with a reasonable connection for this area (apparently)--tried to upload some videos but as estimated upload time was about 4 hours,gave that up as a bad job.So,I picked out a few piccies,and it started fine,but then came to a grinding halt with some computerese gobbledegook.So--outcome---still ...
