Hey Everyone, As we are now ending the South East Asia part of our trip we thought we'd give a brief round up of our thoughts, likes and dislikes of what we've experienced over the last three months. Asia is obviously a very different culture from the Western world but what surprised us the most was their lack of health and safety measures, but in a weird way how well this works showing how OTT the English standards really are.

Hey Everyone! So we're leaving Asia behind us and heading to Australia today. We're sad to be leaving South East Asia, where the last three months have shown us some amazing sights and we've had such a great time but we're really excited to be moving onto Australia.

So, Merry Christmas Everybody! We arrived in Koh Phi Phi at midday on Christmas Eve and checked into Phi Phi Hill Resort which felt like it was on the top of Everest after climbing hundreds of steps to reach the resort from the beach - made worse by the blazing heat, do you feel sorry for us? No! We didn't think so! There was one blessing, a handmade contraption in the form of a trolley on a motorised pulley, which meant Kie needn't carry the bags up the never...
