Kerry and I are still on Ton Sai beach in Thailand. Since the last update, we hired a 2 man kayak for half a day and paddled around some of the islands near here. We stopped in at another beach called Ralay Beach (guy knows all about Ralay), and had some afternoon tea, and then paddled our way home. We spend the nights drinking beers and cocktails on the beach while ordering large amounts of thai food. Today we went snorkelling for the day. Kerry hadn't snorkell...

We are in a small village in Thailand called Ton Sai. It would be without a doubt, the most beatiful place i have ever been. We caught a bus for a few hours yesterday from Yat Hai to Krabi, and then from there had to catch a taxi and long boat to the beach of Ton Sai. Ton Sai, is remote, there is no power to it. What little power there is in the town is supplied by local generators. It isn't an island, but it is surrounded on all sides by cliffs (which Guy has cl...

Today we are hopping on a bus to go to a small Thai village called Haatyai. We don't really know what is at Haatyai, but feel it is time to keep moving on from Penang.

While sitting on the street having a beer last night, i was approached by a hawker who seemed a bit "not with it", ...

Greetings! We left Hong Kong last night and are now in Penang, staying in the middle of Georgetown. I like Malaysia so far - even thought taxi drivers don't seem to believe in indicators, or indeed even in lanes of traffic at all! Heath and i came close to our first disagreement on Saturday - we went to lantau island and caught the cable car up to the top of a mountain where there's a big buddah (it's actually called the big buddah) and a monastary. Very very bea...

Kerry and i arrived in hong kong 2 days ago. We had some accomodation lined up which was fairly simple (read: dodgy). Luckily we found another place in the same building which had working toilets and natural light for half the price! Spent the first day wandering around getting our bearings and today we made it up to the peak, an awesome lookout you get to by tram. The tram goes up at around a 40 degree incline, there were foot grooves in the floor for people sta...
