Singapore in 24 hours! We stayed here waiting for our connecting flight to Australia. We arrived quite late at night and spent the night looking around for the hotel that invented the Singapore Sling cocktail. We went to the marina and saw all the big tall buildings all around. It was a pretty cool place by night as the lights all reflected off the water and it looked very pretty. We finally found the famous cocktail hotel, Raffles. It looked pretty grand and was...

Kuala Lumpur in 24 hours, whistle stop tour of the main attractions and dinner in the red light distict of Malaysia's capital city. The first thing that struck you about Malaysia was the incredible height of all of the buildings, followed by the strength of the heat as we were getting closer to the equator.

Well, I'm not sure what to say except that this place was quite a let down. For a start it rained for the two/three days we were there.

We finally found a nice place to stay and then decided that we would hit the beach as it looked pretty nice when we arrived on the boat. Now we got to the beach and could see one that looked better in the distance so decided to climb over the rocks to get to it. It wsa totally worth it! W...

In order to get to Krabi, we left Ko Phagnan at 6 in the morning. We got on a bus, then on a ferry, then on another bus, then in a pick up truck (10 in the back, 4, including me, inside in the backseat and Barry in the front seat with the driver and the fluffy poodle) then we were taken to a restaurant. We had something to eat and were picked up by yet another bus to get to Krabi. When we arrived in Krabi, we realised that it was the hottest place on the earth....
