Fiji time!! My Fiji experience is all but over so I thought I would share some of my tales, two of the best weeks of my travels if not life! I love Fiji and could definitely live here! We were greeted at the airport by singing Fijian men in skirts armed with ukuleles (think that is one of the best sentences I have ever penned!) and it kept getting better from there! My first excursion from Nadi was to Robinson Crusue Island, where I experienced some of the ace c...

Felt it was time to share some more of my tales..... I arrived in Sydney, after a hideously early start and flight, and headed straight to Kings Cross, the drinking capital of Sydney....don't think I need to give any more explanation as to why it appealed to me! After a nice little jaunt around the city that took in Hyde Park, Sydney Opera House, the Botanical Gardens and Sydney Harbour Bridge (a fair few of the highlights!)

This may sound like a horrible journey and it probably would have been if I wasn't outrageously giddy about what was to come and didn't have the company of a Geordie who ...

Borneo?.......Go on then! I got off the plane in Kota Kinabalu (or KK), Borneo in a far too excitable state, having travelled by bus, boat and train for the last three months I was beginning to forget that contraptions existed that travelled faster than 40 mph and the plane ride was something of a novelty. I travelled really really far in under 3 hours as opposed to my usual 12-15 hour multiple-vehicle palaver to get not very far at all. Alright! I had heard no...
