After our mammoth journey we checked into the Tip Anda Bungalows on Nopparathara Beach. Truly nature-full. Neither of us slept very well thanks to the millions of different creatures who sounded as if they were literally right next to our windows! We also had an interesting moment when we noticed the fried gecko, and what looked to me like a squashed frog, in the lampshade. Poor things.

Thailand!!!! My number one, top of the list, reason I came travelling country! We flew into Samui Airport on a beautiful Sunday, with the streaks of gold beating down from a clear blue sky. As we we descended we could see that this was a beautiful and luscious island. Stepping out of the plane and onto a little motorised train thingy we pulled up outside the immigration department of the airport. A little boy pulled on his daddy's hand and asked if we were 'goin...

They even put a film on, Surrogates - I've never heard of it before but it entertained me for a little while!After getting off the bus twice to show our passports at the Singapore and Malaysia immigration departments (and receiv...

Singapore!!!! How excited I'd been about finally reaching Asia and experiencing some culture, and how deserved my excitement was! I love this place. Really love it. Although there is no way I could survive in this heat and humidity all year round. Last night for example, the evening temperature was 30 degrees but felt like 40...this is what the internet told us and I believe it. SO hot! It's like a blanket smothering you the very second that you step out of the a...
