Australia Adelaide- Melbourne We met up with my mum in Singapore airport, after a day in the city. It was really good to see her after so long, I was very excited. After our flights to Adelaide and getting to our really nice accommodation in a very nice part of Adelaide we all had a little nap. I opened all my birthday presents from everyone (Thank you) and then went on a tiny tour of the city, museums etc and looked for an imaginary restaurant my mum ate in la...

Day 146- 151 After a very long journey back to Bali from the Gil islands we arrived in Ubud. This place was really nice and we stayed in a little old place run by this old lady and her family. It was really nice and we got free breakfast. We explored the town with its numerous galleries shops and café’s and went to the Monkey Forest. This was brilliant; Rog had four bananas in his pocket and got mauled by the monkeys!! He loved this, and at one point had 4 mo...

The short sea crossing to Gi...

The guy at check-in was really nice because despite a quick rearrangement between our hand luggage and ruc...

Day 130 Pai-Chiang Mai- Bangkok Back on the road again! We had breakfast and checked out of our GH, and waited for the mini- bus to Chiang Mai. There was a guy on the bus who really annoyed us, as he really stank the bus out with garlic and then proceeded to talk for 2 hours solid. Rog got a massage off the bus driver, which he says is probably the best shoulder massage he has ever had. In Chiang Mai we waited for a bit before being picked up by a Tuk- Tuk and ...
