hi everyone - so sorry its been so long since we wrote - our last few weeks in SE Asia were bit manic but absolutely brilliant. As you can probably now tell we're in Oz! From the Thai Islands we caught a very long bus to into Malaysia and headed to KL. Actually a really nice city, did all the usual sight-seeing stuff, towers very impressive. From there we headed up to Taman Negera (a National Park in NE of Malaysia - its jungle and has the longest canopy wal...

Wow, more beautiful islands!! We finished our diving course on Thursday (we are now qualified open water divers which is a bit scary) and we left Ko Tao on Fri and headed to the slightly crazier island of Ko Phangan (quite an experience but such a lovely island if u manage to explore a bit further than the main beach) - in a mad moment we decided to attempt a motorbike again so that we could explore - pleased to say it was a lot more successful than our 1st expe...

We're in the Thai Islands! Absolutely beautiful but we came for a rest and its just not happening! we're learning to dive - its awesome (but sophie's very very scared!)

Got a bus to Chang Mai (northern Thailand) from the border and we've been here 3 days. Just come back from a 2 day trek - absolutely brilliant, elephant treking on first day and then a 2 hour trek upto a hilltribe vil...

Hey - thought we'd make contact quickly - we've been in Luang Prabang for 2 days now - its a world heritage site and is absolutely beautiful - took a trip to a waterfall today, definately worth it :) we're getting the slow boat in the morning to the Thai border (northern Thailand) - its a 2 day journey but the scenery should be amazing and its suppose to be worth it - hoping to see some elephants! (think we're going to have very very numb bums by the end tho!!)...
