Day 11 - the last proper day We had a leisurely start to the day as we had to change rooms, so we lounged for a while after breakfast. Nik's star status was elevated as the guys at the hostel wanted their picture with him to put on the wall. He loved it. Proper celebrity. In good news, we did most of our packing to change rooms which will reduce the stress level of tomorrow when we leave. We then took a long walk down to Fort Canning Park, which is a really h...

Day Ten in Singapore Today Nik woke up grumpy, but his spirits were buoyed by him becoming a hostel celebrity. A dutch guy came up to him and said the guys on reception had been telling him all about Nik and his fighter status. Then an asian lad came over and told Nik about him having a pro fighting website and said he would put Nik on it. Nik was happy. After breakfast we decided to go to Sentosa island which is a small island that is part of Singapore. It i...

The ninth day.

On the way, we saw one of our favourite sights, the Singapore weekly flea market - mother would love i...

They've also decided he looks like Chuck Liddell and they're going to call him Chuck. In his downtime, Nik has been learning martial arts of You Tube, this worries Hannah. We had a pretty restful morning and booked our hostel in Cairns as we found a good deal on one with a double bed - even thou...

Day 5 Today we awoke to an enormous rainstorm so we went and sat outside and watched it. Breakfast here is incredible compared to the last place. There is tea, which makes Hannah very happy, toast, nutella (omg!), peanut butter (Nik needs to bulk up so this is good news) as well as boiled eggs. However, Nik confirms that the coffee here remains terrible. After breakfast we both felt like new people. We also met a older nice couple at breakfast who were lovely ...
