Our stop off in Singapore was short but sweet! We got checked into our hostel about 12pm and decided to have a little sit down on the rooftop before we went out exploring. We hadn't been sat down 15mins when the torrential rain started! This was a bummer, but not uncommon for Singapore. We got chatting to a nice English couple too, Emma and YET ANOTHER Sam haha. Eventually the rain eased off about 4pm so we went to the nearest food court. These were about the on...

So...our last week or so has been spent chilling out, enjoying our favourite places in Bali before we left! Unfortunately Samuel had a fight with a surf board on our first day in Canggu! The surf board won, meaning that much to his disappointment, he was unable to do anymore surfing! However, being near to the end of our Asia trip we decided to treat ourselves to a little bit of luxury, with nice accommodation and yummy meals. This is something we desperately w...

Our dreams of spending 2 nights in a slightly 'luxurious' hotel in Sengiggi to recover were shattered when we came to realise that everywhere was fully booked :( After three hours of traipsing around with our bags, still muddy and totally drained from Rinjani, we eventually found a totally overpriced, stuffy room with cold shower and squat toilet! At this point it was 9.30pm! We abandoned our hopes of a much needed lie in and set the alarm to move on as quickly ...

From Gili T we had organised a 2 night, 3 day trek to reach the summit of Indonesia's second highest mountain and active volcano, Mt Rinjani, 3726m above sea, not far off 3 times the size of Ben Nevis. We were up bright and breezy to catch our boat over to Lombok. After a few hours we arrived at the Trek centre to meet our guides and the rest of our group, there was 11 of us in total and 2 guides. We also had 6 porters but they had already left to make sure we ha...

We spent five nights residing on the beautiful Gili Trawangan, a tiny little island just off Lombok. Although it's small, it's very much developed for tourists and there's no lack of them here..it's very busy! With clear seas and white sand it's very different from Bali's black sand beaches! Thankfully our transport ran smoothly from Bali and we arrived around 10.30am. We spent the rest of the day chilling at Pearl Beach Resort, where you pay the equivalent of ...
