Bon soir bon soir, comment allez vous mes cabriolets? Mange-tout Rodney, mange-tout. That's right my friends, we are in Singapore. Which has absolutely nothing to do with badly spoken French, but I've got to reach my word count somehow. Only kidding, I swear that this will be a nice and short entry. Our flight to Singapore from Cairns was pretty uneventful - we are much indebted to Rich for the lift to the airport....once we had eventually found his car (it mak...

Bonday. Howdy and how's it going? We have now arrived at our final Australian destination. Oh, the emotion. Truly strange to think of leaving Oz so soon after having arrived - as with New Zealand, the last four weeks seem to have passed incredibly quickly.

Just a quickie from Sydney - we've been here a couple of days now - long enough to find out what an awesome city this is - a real hustle and bustle about the place, and nice and warm compared to New Zealand! Spent last night, unfortunately, getting hideously drunk in our hostel bar, and have been paying the price today. During the day though we had a walk to the main harbour to see the opera house and the harbour bridge, both pretty impressive, and tomorrow we sh...
