Our last stop in Asia and before we reached Australia was Indonesia….most of our time sadly was spent driving through the country but the beauty of the place still shone through. Our first experience of crazy Indonesian driving/transport was our ferry across from Malaysia where I pretty much believed that I was going to die!! It was the tiniest ferry known to man and sped across the ocean so fast that the water was splashing up over the sides of the windows, th...

So sadly we had only 2 days in Malaysia whilst we were driving from Thailand down to Indonesia but managed to pack quite a bit in. We began in Penang which is an island off the mainland, mostly a UNESCO heritage site. After arriving there at 3pm myself and Sara decided we wanted to see what the city was really like and headed as typical tourists do in the total opposite direction to where we wanted to go....after a 45 minute walk we asked a hotel where the place ...

Finally out of India and into our bikinis in Thailand yay! After an early start we arrived into Bangkok airport at around 5pm and headed to our hotel…the best we have seen in ages, living in luxury compared to the slums we have been in the past week! I've seen my fair share of cockroaches now I think. Tasted my first Thai food ever and surprisingly loved it, but this was to be short lived! The next day we went on a 14 hour (!) bus tour of the Bangkok surroundin...

What can I say about Nepal apart from the fact that it has been truly amazing! As soon as we crossed the border, grumbling about the heat and disappointment of India, our spirits were lifted by this beautiful country. The scenery is so green, trees everywhere and mountain drives along winding roads (a tad scary at times)…all make this a wonderful change from where we have come from. We started our Nepalese adventures in Lumbini, which is the birth place of Budd...

India has been wildly different to what I was expecting…the food wasn't as delicious as I was hoping, the weather was stifling hot and the driving has been mental! If I hear another car horn beep beep beeping I think it will be too soon!!!! We began our India leg of the journey in Amritsar after we crossed the Pakistan/India border and headed out to the Golden Temple, this place was amazing! It is a place of pilgrimage for Hindu people and is beautiful, relaxi...
