So here we are in Kuala Lumpur Airport on our final leg, awaiting the departure of flight MH2 to take us back to old blighty. We've had the most amazing trip, the most incredible adventures and we are still talking to each other. It's all a bit emotional at the moment and the prospect of re-entering the real world is daunting. Someone emailed me recently to ask, jokingly, whether I felt that I had finally got the bug out of my system. No such luck. In fact we a...

What a colonic pain in the arse. Our plan on Bali was to do a full-on, 6-day detox. Each day we would have a colonic hydrotherapy session and by the end of the six days we would be fresh, clean and sweet-smelling. so how did it go?

Borneo is the third (or fourth - I can't remember exactly) biggest island in the world, and the home to a staggering array of diverse and unique wildlife. Our destination was the amusingly named Pangkalan Bun, which is the gateway to Tanjung Puting National Park. However, whilst Borneo might be big on strange creatures, it is also big on being big - meaning that it takes days to get anywhere, usually requiring a combination of buses and planes. Unperturbed, we f...
