On Monday, we got up and decided to have a walk around the town to figure out what we wanted to do over the next few days. After walking around for half an hour, we came across St. Paul's Church which sits on a hill overlooking the town. It was built in the 16th century and it now has no roof but the walls look sturdy enough and there were the graves of several Dutch and Portuguese people within the church. After having a look around the church, we were both s...

We had a really good last night in Singapore with Chris and Charlotte from England and Alex from Canada. We first went to Chinatown on the underground and went to the Maxwell Food Centre which is basically a load of stalls selling different Asian foods. Beth plumped for the Mori Goreng which is basically prawns with noodles whilst I had rice with beef all for about £4 between us. After finishing our food, we decided to go back to the marina which we had visit...

Strangely, Beth didn't sleep much on this flight and watched a couple of films while I watched 18 episodes of th...

We left the luxury of staying at the Hilton at 20 past 6 on Monday morning to get the shuttle bus to Melbourne Avalon airport for our flight to Sydney. We've been to some pretty small airports but this one was absolutely tiny with only 3 flights per day and we were somehow allowed to take a big bottle of water through security which is something you definitely can't do in the UK. Anyways our flight was good and it only took an hour and twenty minutes to get to ...
