We arrived in Kuala Lumpur at 11pm and headed straight to our hotel in Chinatown for some sleep. KL turned out to be a really cosmopolitan place, with a good vibe to it. We had tickets for the Petronas towers and walked across the bridge that joins the two towers, before travelling up to the 86th floor for a breath-taking view of the city. It really didn't seem like a big place from up there. It is supposed to all be walk-able, but we really struggled to navig...

With just 3.5 hours sleep after our heavy night the night before, we got a public ferry over to Gili Air - the second of the islands we were staying on in the Gili islands. We hadn't booked any accommodation but Dave soon found a lovely place in the village set back from the hustle and bustle - it was so peaceful and gave us a glimpse of real Indonesian island life.

Don't get me wrong, you still get the random odd ball - one of which was pressing all of my bruises to try and get rid of them for me! Nevertheless, it was still fun to see Singapore. Ac...

Wow what a week - we have done so much! After a 3 hour drive, we arrived in Townsville. After a stroll down the beach, we met up with Dave's cousin, Callum and his girlfriend, Sophie. We had a good catch up and headed out for something to eat in Townsville, where Andrew, Dave's other cousin, met us for a drink. We ended up parking the campervan at Callum's house and sleeping in the van on their driveway - all good fun! The next day, before leaving Townsville, ...
