We have been in Bali nearly a week and the time has flown! After a hot, busy day in Singapore it's nice to be lounging by a pool again. We had five nights in a small hotel in Seminyak, up the coast a little from the main resort of Kuta but we have now moved right into the middle of Kuta and it's a crazy place. Our hotel is on a narrow one-way street with traffic going both ways! We have been to the Bali bombing memorial to pay our respects and we've been down t...

Yesterday we flew from Koh Samui to Singapore. We had a great time in Chewang Beach especially with Deborah & Russel. The 'Centara Grand Beach Resort' was lovely for three nights, even if it broke the bank! We have spent today visiting the Grand Prix attractions and even took a taxi around as much of the race track as we could. We then went up in the Singapore Flyer, it just like the London Eye but taller. From the flyer you get a great view not only of Sing...

We made it back from Koh Tao to Samui a few days a go and have been relaxing. The weather has taken a turn for the worse though so no sunbathing! Deborah and Russell are due to arrive tomorrow assuming they have managed to get into and out of Bangkok with the current protests and if the weather stays like this we'll have to hire a car and go exploring. We are here until the 13th of September when we fly to Singapore for just enough time to visit the Grand Prix ...

We've only been at the "Utopia Resort" in Koh Phangan for a few days but we love it. The resort is on the top of a hill with the most fabulous views. When we arrived we were upgraded to a pool side room and the restaurant, bar and staff are all great! We went into Hat Rin last night (the beach they have the full moon parties on) and I think we're both glad we're not staying there but it was fun for a night. Today we took a walk down the hill to the nea...

We had a very easy journey, by recent standards, to Koh Tao. The ferry takes about two hours from Koh Samui and then we got on a taxi boat and it took us up the coast of the Island to Mango Bay. We stayed in a bungalow (high up) on the side of the hill which gave us a great view over Mango bay and the gulf of Thailand. The resort we stayed at is only accessible by boat which explains why it is one of the quietest places in the whole of Thailand. Despite the w...
