Well we have been travelling for over a month now, and it has to be said that we are lovin' it. The hardest thing for us to do at the moment is keep track of what day and date it is. We seldom have to do this, but it did land us in a spot of bother with the Thai immigration authorities who took us to a back room at the border and issued us a fine for overstaying our visas. Also we are catching a flight on Monday back up to Bangkok, so everyday we are like "the...

Well, our last day in Penang was not very successful. We arose early (Well early for me anyway...) and set off to see some of the local sights. To aid us in our voyage we hired a rickshaw (man on bicycle, pulling us along on a cart). The plan was to visit all the local hotspots (ie museums, galleries and temples) in the two hours we had left before our bus departed for the Cameron Highlands.

The mirror is too short, the sink is too low, a...

Don't worry Mum. I haven't been feeding tigers in the wild (hence the photo on the postcard) ...the monkeys were fierce enough for me! Well, three days ago we left Phi Phi by boat. Oh the fun. After ten minutes on the ocean wave, people began reaching for their life jackets (IT WAS THAT BAD!) Some people were being sick, one of the windows even cracked and Dean was clutching at his pressure points and sussing out the exits. It wasn't the most fun experience...
