So, spent a few days in Singapore before heading off to Australia. Was a great experience to go there - as much as its a nice city, I really couldn't live there! Far too clean and ordered! Stayed in a great little hostel called Service World backpackers. The owners were realy helpful with things to do around Singapore - though half the things that I wanted to do I could due to the rain! One thing that I did love about Singapore were the hawker centres - brillan...

Had the most sh*t journey to Malaysia from Thailand. So got on the boat from Koh Tao to Koh Samui at 9.30am, got to Samui at 12.30 - got bus transfer to the other dock where I was supposed to get the boat at 1.30pm.

So, today was the day that I wasn't looking forward too - Manisha leaving. We had a great time together on the trip - only actually arguing once throughout the whole time (mircle for us).

Manisha left in her taxi after checking out, it was very sad and I did have a li...

Got up fairly early to the sound of rain outside - wasn't too heavy but just wanted to stay in the cabin and stay asleep! Once I dragged myself out of my bed, we had a quick breakfast and went out to the caves. We were the first group there that morning, so it was quite nice as we weren't rushed around them. They had some funky lights going on in the cave, some parts looked like a scene out of one of the Alien movies! Spent about an hour wandering around, then ...

Got up really early for the trip, checked out of the hotel and headed off to the Handspan office. Met Jen there - she was going on one of the other Junks with her friend Kevin. We got on our bus, luckily we had a really nice group with us. Our guide had his son with him - it was children's day the next day, so he wasn't at school. We nicknamed him 'the boss' as he took over the microphone most of the time and wanted to sing his songs! Our first stop was a 'H...
