Thursday 30th JulyA travel day. Having sourced the strongest drugs from the pharmacy we could, we made one last desperate attempt to like something from the handicraft market… and failed miserably! Ah well, all we need is photos really! Arriving from our flight to Singapore it was instantly recognisable how different this place is! Very corporate, very tidy, very organised! So we made our way to one of the only parts that doesn't fit that description; Little In...

Tuesday 14th July "Good evening sir, your 1.25am flight to Kuala Lumpur has been delayed by 6 hours" Wednesday 15th July 18 hours later after an uncomfortable form of attempted sleep on, firstly a hotel lounge chair and coffee table, and secondly an Air Asia chair, we landed safely in Kuala Lumpur at 2.30am.

November 18th ...and so we had a lovely 3 hour ferry trip going very close to several Islands but I'm sure the captain knew what he was doing! We weren't looking forward to this boat as we'd been warned the water gets very choppy but we escaped once again. We arrived in Picton... famous for nothing, so promptly made our way to Nelson, a quaint place but more importantly the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Our hostel had a swimming pool, free breakfast, fre...
