Had a great couple of days in Brisbane - very busy but great!! On monday I got the bus to the gold coast, to surfers paradise, and it was exactly as the name suggests! Not that I did any surfing myself but I enjoyed watching the professionals. Instead I did some sunbathing and people watching. I also had a wander through the shops and took a trip on the aquaduck. All the kids got a chance to steer the boat once we drove into the water but he said I was too old!!...

It did work out fine in the end but it was a close call!!! It was nice then after that somewhat uncomfortable e...

Hey, I've had a busy time here in Singapore. I am staying in the heart of Chinatown which is great! Fab markets and the streets are lit by lanterns - it's so colourful and smells of inscense. It took me a while yesterday to get my bearings and work out the transport system. Last night I made it to the Night safari which was great but to be honest it was a bit scary!! I did enjoy the tram through the park and it was great to see the animals were not enclosed b...
