Well I kinda missed out OZ as internet is so expensive, now i have free internet so here goes....
The East Coast of Australia was lovely, had three days of rain in 10 weeks. The Beaches are all great an very quiet too. I only actually sunbathed for four hours in total on the whole trip! been so busy just had no time for chillin' My highlights of the East Coast were, Newcastle- swimming in the Baths-{actually the sea}. Coffs Harbour great night life and nice quiet town, a nice look out and nice beach. Also the Big Banana!
Maroochydore- home of Austrailia zoo.
Mission Beach-chilled out! did one hours sunbathing here!
Melbourne- Ramsay street, met DR KARL KENNEDY! woooo!
Town of 1770- AMAZING! had a flying lesson did a motorbike kangaroo tour and learnt to surf! good times at the local bar with some biker dudes.
Byron Bay- walk up the lighthouse to Cape Byron and saw dolphins from the top.
Cairns- Scuba Dive with a white tipped reef shark.
Whitsundays three days on a boat I was happy! Giant Trevally, Bat fish, giant clams
Other highlights were Cane Toad racing in Port Douglas, meeting Charlie Borman from Long Way Down in Cape Tribulation. Magnetic Island cos I saw a Koala in the wild and also fed wild birds and wild rock wallabys. Held a snake in a zoo. Did some crazy 9 hour fishing trip in Noosa and got caught in a tornado!
My last week in oz was the best. Went to Darwin then all the way down by road to Alice Spings. Drove 1700 km in three days. Found some cool aborigional art at a local gallery and randomly found a green tree frog in the bathroom. Camped in tents with beds. Was FREEEZING! the closer we got to the Red Centre the colder it got. Ayres Rock was amazing! Kings Canyon and the Devils marbles were my favorite overall. Found a scorpion in our campsite whe we were sleeping in swags on the dirt under the stars.
So that was Oz I am now in Malaysia having spent three nights in Singapore- the hottest place on earth!
Singapore was great very multi cultural, nice people and quite clean but not as clean as i thought. Made it to Raffels for a Sing Sling, also went to the new bar called the Clinic. Sat in wheel chairs with alchohol drips. so random but cool. Also did some shopping on Orchard and ate nice food at the hawker stalls. Very cheap!
Got a bus from Singapore to Melaka in Malaysia. It took 6 hours door to door and cost me ten pounds! got stopped at immigration as they thought i had swine flu from Australia. got through after filling in a few forms.
I am in a small hostel with 12 beds I am the only guest! there is a squat toilet and a hose pipe for a shower. its ok tho, the owner is very nice. Went to town and saw chima towm amd the river, its 37 degrees and humidity 80% cant do much outside so spent a few hours in airconditioned mega mall! got fake Ray Bans for 2 english pounds!
Will try and keep up with this now interweb is free!
