The last weeks in Thailand were fabulous and what a treat with Steve's Mum joining us and sharing in our experience. We had 2 weeks of island hopping from Kho Phi Phi to Kho Lanta and lastly at Phuket. We sadly said our farewells and going back to reality and backpacker life Steve and I flew onto Malaysia - BORNEO. Borneo was an awesome experience. What a magical place. With many highlights to bore you with.. So I will be short. Over the Easter weekend we...

Phi Phi was beautiful!!! We weren't sure what to expect after the Tsunami hit this place only a year ago! It was sad to hear the government offered no financial help to get this island back to paradise. They had plans to get rid of the budget travellers and build 5* resorts! Luckily the people of this island are absolutely inspiring. They have rebuilt this island themselves with help from cool westerners. It is beautiful. You could see where palm trees had been w...

It was a groovy chilled out village up in the mountains. We stayed in a lovely hippy style commune of bamboo huts. We had to cross a very wobbly bamboo bridge to get form the village to our huts. Cool! The huts had a large bamboo decking area with people horizontal listening to cool music...

Our long 2 day journey to Thailand was rather chilled out and relaxed. No cramped travelling and many a seat to each person! Luxury! The other option would have been a speed boat,these were ridiculous small speed boats with 8 travellers each with a helmet (due to the danger of the river being low at this time of year.... as many boats hit the rocks at speeds causing many fatalities.) Slow is best! We then caught a bus from the Thai border to the city of Chia...
