Sorry, I couldn't find a photo of the Merlion that Singapore is famous for ! The other 5 nights we spent in Singapore, one of my most favourite cities in the world, where I have travelled to many times as a stopover point on my way to & from Australia, England etc. It is such a clean city, which is no surprise when they have so many 'rules' which must be followed to avoid getting fined eg: No Chewing Gum ! We took alot of day tours from Singapore too, including a...

Darren came with our family for a holiday in Fiji, where they all spent a lovely time swimming and exploring the Island, whilst I spent most of the trip being very sick (now I know not to munch on ice cubes anymore!).

One week in Phuket was a wonderful break in the sun for Darren & I. We did a couple of day trips, including one out to an Island where one of the James Bond 007 movies was filled. I made sure all the trips we did included yummy seafood lunches of course ! I can't remember what beer we were drinking, but no doubt we had plenty of it, only to keep us cool after being exposed to the sun for so long ! I had my hair worked into plaits with lots of coloured beads, it t...
