After a relaxing few hours sleep in the nicest hotel yet, we woke to check out what a brekkie would be like in a nice hotel! We were both happy with the results! Sam especially as she had been craving cereal! A selection of cereals, fesh milk!!, proper coffee, toast, fruit and danish pastries! I think it is safe to say we got our monies worth from breakfast! We spent the rest of the morning searchingn or a proper hotel/hostel for the next few nights. An afford...

With so much time to kill we ate (standard!) and relaxed for a few hours before what we believed to be a cultural few days in the capital of Indonesia. How sadly w...

After saying goodbye to Penang, we set off on a tiger air flight to Medan. We were a little apprehensive though as we had heard some in different rumours about Indonesia with stories of terrorist sectors in aceh, north of where we going first and also warnings of kidnappings etc. With that in the back of our minds we set off anyways knowing that this could still be an amazing place to travel! We had organised a transfer to the guesthouse and thankfully we did. T...
