Borneo is truly an amazing place! Since climbing the mountain, we have been spent a day at a paradise island snorkelling, been to an orang-utang sanctuary and spent two nights in the jungle. We're now heading for Semporna, which has some of the best diving in the world. All within a week - the range of nature, wildlife and natural beauty is impressive. The organ-utang sanctuary was fantastic! The one we went to houses baby orang-utangs before they go to the ...

Also makes for a fascinating mixture of architecture, particularly if you add in the colonial influence of Britain and other European countries. Our first stop was Georgetown, in the North West of Malaysia. It...

We've just got to Georgetown in Malaysia, after three days in Ao Nang, near Krabi, Thailand. We treated ourselves as a birthday present to me to 3 nights in a spa resort!!! This is by far the nicest place we've stayed in so far - it had a pool, air conditioning, a fridge in the room and cable TV - Luxury!! Now we'...
