Kyoto was really cool! We walked around the geisha district but didn't see any geisha and then we went and had a look around some temples. One of the temples we saw was really high up so we got an amazing view of the city from there. We also went to the temple for the god of love which me and Anna found very romantic! For dinner we went to an Italian restaurant and I ate spaghetti with chopsticks! The next day we met Anna's friend, Masae, in town and she drove...

Second day in kanchanaburi. We went to see Erawan waterfall. This was one of my favourite sights so far. Erawan is a waterfall that has seven tiers so we spent the day walking all the way up to the top tier. We stopped to paddle in the water at each tier and took loads of pictures. There were loads of cleaner fish in the water so every time you put your feet in the water they would come and nibble at the dead skin on your feet! It was a bit of a shock at first b...

Kanchanaburi is a town about two hours away from Bangkok. I think it is best known for the Hellfire Pass section of the Death Railway that was constructed here during World War II.

I am now in Japan! Having an awesome time! Today is actually Anna's birthday and we are going to Kyoto to have a look around. So what have I been upto since I got here? Well Anna lives in Kobe so we spent the first day looking around the town centre in Kobe and went to the harbour for dinner and to see the night view which is meant to be one of the most beautiful in Japan! Oh and I forgot to mention we went to McDonalds!! The next day we went to Osaka. We walk...

So I have spent the last week diving on the small island of Koh Tao! Definitely my best week so far! Met some really cool people and we all had diving in common so was easy to chat! Had my fingers crossed for a whale shark sighting but didn't get lucky! They are extremely rare in Koh Tao especially at this time of year! Did however see a turtle and a few eels and some blue spotted rays. So was a pretty good week. Also saw a sea snake on one of the dives. These a...
