So Malaysia started off with Kuala Lumpur, which coming from Singapore, just seemed like another city, with the first River Island we've seen in 9 months and no money to spend in it! We moved quickly on to see what Asia really had to offer and found ourselves in the jungle - Tamen Negara. Despite the diet of rice and chicken, we had a great time here. One highlight was seeing an authentic tribe living out there. We were to be introduced to the chief. Excitement...

Our Asian leg began the squeaky clean Singapore; a country where one can have their legs chopped off for crossing the road at the wrong place, or beheaded for chewing gum. Thankfully we survived it relatively unscathed. If not a little hot and bothered - humidity = frizz and sweat. Not the most attractive combo - only 9 weeks of it (!) We spent time moseying around the city and also indulged in a little alternative therapy - some kind of ionised foot spa. The ...

I was treated to an amazing weekend at the Hunter Valley Wine region, stopping in top class accommodation, eating the best food and general...

There were no toilets at the campsite and the place was full of dingos. We had a pretty decent grou...

After a hectic time in Cairns, we moved onto Airlie Beach where we embarked on a two night sailing trip of the Whitsunday Islands.Not knowing a great deal about the catamaran we were booked onto, we turned up and discovered it was infact the booze cruise out of all of the boats, so we promptly bought more alcohol and got onboard.After a choppy first day, the boat was anchored and we enjoyed a fish supper, all very civilised. Then it turned into a bit of an 18-30s...
