Hop hop, get in ma belly!!! That's the way poor Skippy went down, but he did us proud and tasted as good as gold!! (Jue's looking rather disgusted right now - but she enjoyed a good nibble to)! Think of Kings Cross and you think of trains packed with commuters, cramped in uncomfortable and hot carriages. Well, let us tell you. Kings Cross, Sydney, is not a train station!! As per normal on the Jue and Chris adventure we ended up in the red light district, alo...

Hello from Kuala Lumpur!! Since we last updated the blog we have moved on a few hundred kilometers into Malaysia! I'll start from Friday... where we were just heading off to Penang Hill! Friday 27th Feb (pm) We took a local bus to Sek LokSsi temple, the largest temple in Malaysia which was a gorgeous temple with milions of Budha statues everywhere!
