Arriving in Bangkok is an absolute assault on the senses. The noise, smell, traffic, hustle and bustle all hit you the minute you leave the air conditioned express train from the airport (which may as well be called the tourist train). We arrived at our hostel having dodged mopeds and hundreds of stray cats down the dark "pedestrianised" alley to find a lovely little place called Cosy Bangkok (as recommended by Laura and Tal- Thank you).

And although we weren't expecting much, Singapore delivered on every level......it's full of Temples (my favourite activity, although Tom still maintains he thinks its crab hunting), Malls and Hawker markets.

New Zealand has been full of ups and downs, freezing at points and a bit dull (if you can believe the cheek of me saying it!?) but overall it has been great. AND Louise let me write this one!
