Singapore, country number 4! Some people had told us that Singapore wasn't very good, it was boring, there's nothing to do etc... Well we had an absolute blast to the extent that this blog would be shorter if we listed the things we didn't do! How you can get bored in this city/country is beyond us. We apologise for how long this blog will probably turn out, we'll try to keep it as brief as possible! Day 1 - We got to our hostel around midday and wasted no time...

Our first night in Bali was one to remember for all the wrong reasons. We had arrived quite late at night but got a taxi to a hotel we'd seen online. Upon arriving, the price we were quoted for a 1 night stay had been doubled from their website price - or so we thought.

For the journey to Kuala Lumpur we were on a 'luxury' coach, which was very nice. Air con, (which is standard in every vehicle in South East Asia, but unfortunately just that little bit too cold) comfy reclinable seats, even a film playing from a tv at the front of the coach! We were both wearing our linen trousers and had hoodies to hand, both because of the air con and due to being up early in the chilly Highlands to catch our ride. Upon arrival in KL, it was c...
