Hello!!! It's been so long! Indonesia was good fun but we didn't see as much of it as we'd hoped for - the end of our Asia tour was looming so we flew from Singapore to Bali in the beginning of May. We stayed in a lively area popular with backpackers for 2 nights before heading off to the Gili Islands - I found Bali a bit intense after Malaysia and Singapore - there were so many windy alleyways crammed with motorbikes and scooters! The party scene in Bali is bi...

Hello! We're actually in Bali at the moment but I have lots to say about Singapore and Kuala Lumpur! We stayed in Kuala Lumpur 3 nights and spent our two full days there sight seeing and shopping (there are so many shopping malls!!) We hadn't been anywhere like this for the whole of our travels so it was a (good) shock to the system!

Particually the fire throwing and fire skipping which never failed ...

We did a two day trek in the mountains which involved waterfalls, hot springs, visiting hill tribe villages - the people rarely go to the city ...

I'm getting behind on my correspondance again!!! WELL.... since last time, we rounded up in Vietnam - wasn't sure what to make of Hanoi - it didn't feel like it should be the capital city! There wasn't that much to do there but we weren't there long - one night, and then a we spent a night in Halong Bay on a boat - it was so nice!! Never seen anything like it - thousand of Islands poking up out of the sea, we ended up surrounded by them - it looked to me like wh...
