Ali arrived jetlagged, tired and looking fantastic in Singapore. She was only an hour late (the airline's fault not hers) and we spent the next 12 hours in a whistle-stop tour of the best bits of Singapore as I knew it thusfar. I was so happy to see her and I couldn't quite believe that she had flown halfway around the world to see me. Pret…
Hi there everyone,
For those of you that were engrossed by my sporadic journal from Afghanistan welcome back. For those of you who weren't you probably had a lucky escape!

The next leg of the journey turned out to encompass both the best and worst times of my travels so far. Indeed, I was SO happy in one place, that looking back, I wish I hadn't left and had sta…

Hi, sorry for the random message but I just had to say that your experience in Indonesia was spookily similar to ours last year and you really did capture the frustrations which we encountered on a daily basis. The main difference in our journeys was that we actually spent a day and night in the port town made up of one street to wait for the ferry over to Flores after a week of no sailing due to adverse weather. What was supposed to be a 4.5 hour boat journey turned into a 17 hour seemingly never ending hell ride. The next morning we attempted to get over to the close by island to see the komodos on a locally rented boat with some other travellers only to hav eto turn back mid journey when a storm set in and the boat very nearly capsized! The rest of my group made it over on their second attempt the next day but the previous 2 days experiences were enough for me and i refused to board another flimsy boat. Anyway, myself and my partner enjoyed your blog so thanks!
