We are in Canada! We had a lovely week in Antigua before arriving in which we ate far too much (including lobster - Sam hasn't done himself any favours by giving me a taste for it!), drank too many cocktails, sunbathed and just chilled out in general. We even saw Orlando Bloom at the airport who is possibly the skinniest man I have ever seen. We arrived in Ottawa very late on my birthday and had a nice scenic drive - we saw the canal and all of the parliamentary...

I've had trouble uploading the last few blogs, so they are a bit out of date, but rather late than never... Kuala Lumpur was very nice-for the last few days we went up the sky tower and tried to go up the Petronas Towers but it seems that they are closed on Mondays. We also plucked up the courage to try the food at one of the street stalls and were so impressed that we went back the following night!When we arrived in Singapore we caught the MRT (tube) to our h...

We spent tha last few days in Jakarta looking round the shopping malls, which are massive and very swanky.

We also discovered that we have a peeping Tom next door-I was in the bathroom and looked up to see a face in thew hole in the wall (...

We went to Borobudar temple yesterday and it was the most surreal experience ever! We walked up the ridiculously steep stairs to the top of the temple and sat down to catch our breath (this is what too much fried rice does to you) and a guy sat next to us to have his photo taken with us, which we thought was a bit strange but smiled anyway. The next thing we knew there was a crowd of people waiting to do the same thing, mainly families shoving their children in f...
