Firstly, yes the picture is real and you pass these crazily long 'road trains' on the road!! They carry all sorts from cars to produce, to fuel as you see. I'm not sure i'm over the fact over four tanks of fuel on one truck yet. The rest i can cope with. Anyway, we arrived in Darwin little over two weeks ago now and have done quite a lot in that short time. We stayed in the city of Darwin for 5 nights. Our hosts and hostess, Brendan and Leanne were brill. They e...

Bali seems like a long time ago now but i'll give it my best shot to remember what happenend. Our first encounter was quite hilarious really. We arrived off the ferry from Java at the time we were already meant to be at our final destination (and we had another four hours drive time to go!!) so we knew we were going to be late. But then, the mini-bus headlights started to fade a little bit and then a lot until we had no lights at all (and no street lights!). The...

Ok, well i'm doing the Indonesian island of Java as one blog (which will please some people i'm sure, maybe not others) because i haven't got too much to inform you about. We landed in the capital of Jakarta, but had heard from a number of sources that it wasn't very nice so we hopped straight on a bus and travelled to the town of Bogor. It lived up to its name as there was bog all to do!! We spent just two nights here before moving on to Bandung, again the name...

Our short stay in Singapore was definitely rushed but well spent. We saw as much as humanly possible in one day, spending 13 hours out and about, getting the mono-rail from one place the next. Our feet and legs hurt like hell by the time we got back to the hostel We first headed to the New City area where the sights to visit consist of the esplanade, the merion, marina bay sands, the flyer (like the london eye) and the art science museum. We saw it all and went ...

Malaysian Borneo for us consisted of Kuching, Bako National Park, both in Sarawak and Kota Kinabalu/Mount Kinabalu in Sabah. It is pretty difficult to travel by bus to both places so we flew between them, so much easier. When we arrived off our scary flight (lots of turbulence and an air pocket that made us feel like we were going to drop ut of the sky! It may have only been small but it lifted our bottoms off our seats!) from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching we settled...
