So we heard it's snowing at home? Just to let you know we're currently suffering 32 degree heat here in Malaysia, although to be fair we are, at this moment in time, sheltering from a huge tropical thunderstorm!! It's the 1st December and life this year is a lot different to normal. We would be putting up the tree, singing christmas songs, planning christmas drink sessions with friends and opening the first door on our calenders. However, we are still trying to ...

We arrived on the huge bustling Jalan Besar Rd after one minibus, two aeroplanes, one shuttle, four trains and a good long sweaty walk.....!

They really looked after us and we spent our time doing the obligatory Sunday session on the river and exploring the city. We had a day of off roading, basically me and Julie screamed so loud and almost cried each time we went over a bump so we were kicked out of...

Leaving Sydney felt like quite a relief, we both realised how much we needed to escape the city! Byron Bay was just what we were after. We arrived early in the morning to glorious sunshine and were met by a Canadian hippy girl who drove us in a beaten up minivan to the Arts Factory Lodge. This was a slightly different hostel to those we have been staying in because it is home to loads of 'free love, eco-friendly, tree-hugging hippies'. We set up camp in the on...
