We were so excited about going back to Singapore, we absoloutely loved it when we visited on our last trip. We had a 5 hour bus journey from KL on a really nice bus with massage seats! On our last visit we had caught a bus out of Singapore to Melaka in Malaysia and the bus had left us at the border as immigration took so long so we were worried that this was going to happen again. We checked out of Malaysia fine and then drove over the bridge into Singapore. We h...

When we left Penang for Kuala Lumpar it decided to chuck it down, the rain was so heavy and after waiting for a while we decided to just make a run for it to the local bus which took us to the main bus station. We found tickets for a KL bound bus no problem and waited in a rather unsightly bus station which looked like the extinct tricorn in Pompey. It also smelt of wee! The bus journey was very smooth, Malaysia has really good motorways and good safe buses. So ...

We walked by lots of sari sta...

We also had our last thai massage which turn...

As it was our 10th wedding anniversary we decided to treat ourselves to a more expensive room for three nights and chose to go to Ko Lanta which is in the south of Thailand on the west coast. We caught a flight with Air Asia from Bangkok to Krabi - we got a very good price for the flights and only cost slightly more than the 12 hour bus journey would have. We had one night in Krabi in a very cheap room that was like a sauna and smelt of bin. The following day w...
