27 Feb - Today we arrived in Cairns after an 8 hour flight from Singapore and stopover for refuelling in Darwin. It's really weird to be in Australia after being in Asia for so long. It's really hot and sunny here and less humid than Asia. The other big difference is that it is way more expensive than Asia and we are back to unhealthy western diets! Lots of steak and chips etc! There is not really much to see in Cairns. It's basically a small seasi...

21 Feb we arrived in Singapore which is a very clean, modern city with lots of rules - no chewing gum, no spitting, no eating or drinking on the MRT (subway). We stayed in an amazing hotel for my birthday treat. Our room had a huge bed, mini bar, gorgeous bathroom, a plasma flat screen tv on the wall (which Ben watched footie on!) dressing gown and slippers!On our first day we visited the zoo. It is one of the only open concept zoos in the world where they don...

We wished we could take her with us! In the evening we went for a Japanese meal and ate sushi, seaweed, baby octopus...

The scenery was beautiful on the way to KL, very lush and tropical and we saw rain for the first time since Hong Kong. We loved KL from the minute we arrived. It is a really big, modern city and the hostel we stayed in was right in the centre of things and close to loads o...

Hi guys, here is our journel entry from Penang. We arrived after a 10 hour bus journey from Thailand which actually went pretty quickly. It is so hot here, even hotter than Thailand, so on the first night we were hungry and thirsty and decided to walk to town to find somewhere to eat. However, we discovered that our hostel is really far from the town and that Penang doesn't really have a town centre, just loads of streets so we ended up wondering down loads ...
