Sorry we haven’t been able to update you for a while, but we have been on the road for a while and rather busy. We weren’t sure what to expect from Australia, but our second day here was most definitely a highlight of the entire trip. The hostel where we stayed was great, the staff were so friendly and helpful and they helped us organise a boat trip for the next day. Pete was keen to get another dive under his belt, so signed up for one whilst on the boat tri...

We arrived in Australia on Saturday and spent our first few days in Cairns, a really nice town, very friendly with people having BBQ’s in the park, live music and just a great atmosphere. On our first day we booked a boat trip for the next day and what an amazing trip it was. The boat was a catamaran and once on board we had to fill out some forms and decide if we wanted to do the introduction to scuba diving or not. Pete had already booked himself to do a div...

We had an amazing time in Singapore and crammed a lot into our short time there. First of all we were picked up from the bus station by a Mercedes courtesy of the hotel, with a wicked driver who had himself and us in stitches all the way to the hotel. The room was so plush with gorgeous pillows (yes that’s two pillows each) a bath tub, Molten Brown products, fully stocked FREE mini-bar including beers, it was heaven. We went downstairs for lunch, before popping...

We are in the heart of Chinatown, where the streets are lined with a mix of colonial buildings, some beautifully maintained and others with paint peeling gives this place a real charm. Yesterday we took a boat trip down the river, a must for you to see the Little Morten...

After a rather luxurious coach ride, with big wide seats and foot rests, we arrived in Kuala Lumpur just as it was about to rain. Luckily we managed to find our hotel just before the skies opened. Our hotel is right in the heart of Chinatown and right in the middle of a busy market, we are on the 5th floor so fortunately we can't hear too much of the hustle and bustle going on downstairs. That night we cheated and headed for dinner at Nando's, it was a nice littl...
