Didnt have a very pleasant sleep last night as someone turned the aircon off during the night, because they had a cold...so we all had to suffer and sweat our asses off all night!! It was so hot! When we finally surfaced in the morning we walked up to the famous Raffles Hotel and obviously did what every traveller has to do, have a Singapore Sling...nope, not us, not at $25 a drink we wont! Just had a peak inside and a stare at all the rich people before we m...

We had an Indian this morning before we boarded our bus to SIngapore. On the way we met Steven and Annette, a Scottish/Polish couple who are on a 6 year trip around the world!

Hated it. The colour or...

Completed our advanced diver course, with one of the dives having us go to a wreck site. Unbelievable eerie!! We were taken down to 30metres where it was dark and we couldnt see more than 2-3metres ahead. We swam along a line for a couple of minutes and then all of a sudden we hit this big black shadow which loomed over us! Claire was well scared! We were taken for swim around and over the ship, where the sails just hung over us and we could see where the ...
