We woke up an hour before our flight was due to leave. Bearing in mind they ask you to be at the airport 2-3 hours before we were pretty stressed. However, we got there and had absolutely no waiting time, just sailed through check-in, security etc and on to the plane. This doesn't mean I would recommend it or that I will ever do it again...... Hangover kicked in on the plane and made the journey pretty horrid. But we deserved it. Caught a free ride to ...

Got a taxi to Singapore Zoo and spent 3 hours wandering around. I'd never been to a zoo before and wasn't sure whether I'd like it bu I was fascinated. There was a giraffe called Lucy, which I liked, but the most fascinating creature was the chimpanzee. Having never seen one in real life, I was transfixed by how human they are (I know, I do know about evolution but until you see it in front of you, you don't fully understand).

Got a mini van from Hat Yai then onto the most spacious and luxurious coach I've ever been on, bound for Singapore. Only took a few hours to reach the border of Malaysia. As the hours went by the bus air conditioning went berserk. We were in a fridge on wheels. Everyone was shivering and there was condesatoin on the OUTSIDE. I don't know what Tina Turner would've made of that..... We stopped for food but we only had a few Malaysian notes so Dan got a ...

Spent the weekend doing absolutely nothing apart from lying on the beach or sat in the sun on the balcony of our bungalow, reading. I started and finished the Da Vinci Code - think I must be the last person in the world to read it. The electricity went off last night at a crucial part and stayed off until 9am this morning, which was annoying. On Libong the electricity goes off at midday everyday and comes back on at 5pm, which is fine because when you have a book...
