Yes, I know, you are about as pyramided out as we are! Just that other photos are not loaded onto the ipad as yet. Arrived in Singapore after departing Cairo yesterday, a few hours stop over in Dubai and then a very ordinary flight from Dubai to Singapore, Richard and I jammed up in the row next to the toilets. A very noisy and uncomfortable flight, hopefully we will sleep on our flight to Bali which leaves in a few hours time. Five weeks! Where did it go? We h...

Quite an amazing journey through different areas and townships. The European side is less populated than the Asian s...
