Just one day is all it takes to get to Malaysia on a bus tour ! Actually I thought I had already added a postcard for when I first visited Malaysia back in 1982, but oh well I must have forgot, so this postcard can sum up what I have done in Malaysia now ! The bus tours in this part of the world specialise in taking you to factories to see a demonstration, have a 'free' cold drink and then you can make a purchase ... but I have so far managed to avoid all large p...

One final night of stopovers on my way back from Oz to England, Frankfurt in the middle of winter is bloody cold ! I was very well rugged up (yes I took a coat & gloves, despite it being summer when I left Oz !), which was a good thing for going on a sightseeing tour and trudging through snow all day long !!!

We did the Murals & Peacewall tour, as well as the tour which takes in the Antrim Coast, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge & Giants Causeway, finishing off with a trip to the Bushmills Distillery where Pete was lucky enough to be one of the four people that got to sample about a dozen different whiskies, wh...

We also went to see the \'Vagina Monologues\' at th...

Well, this was an ace week that Pete & I spent in Boston, USA. We managed to cram so much sightseeing into such a short space of time, even hiring a car for a couple of days to go further afield and take in some different sights ... this includes going to see the Wrestling in Springfield which was something I just had to do when in America ! We drove down to Cape Cod and along the coast which was gorgeous, sampling the best seafood in a place called Sandwich, bef...
