One Nighter! Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Lanta
Got on our ferry trip to the island of Koh Lanta - and who do we see on the boat, the weird Turksih and Greek guys from the night before! Only the Greek one recognised us, we said a polite hello and luckily they left us alone! Arrived at the port and had to get in the back of a yute type truck all the way to our beach resort - the resort even had a pool - we're certainly going up in the world!! We were right on the beach but it wasn't a particularly great beach! Had a bit [View Full Entry]

Photos up! Asia
Just thought i'd inform you all that the long awaited photos are now finally going up, bear with me though they take a long time to download on some of the computers out here! If you go back to my first blogs you should see the ones with the pictures - there are still more to be added as i've got to put some of Michelles on here to - but at least it gives you some visual stimulation and is proof that i'm not just living it up in the costa del sol!!

Float on by Asia » Thailand » South-West Thailand » Ko Phi Phi
Well we got a plane over to Phuket stopped the briefest of nights in Phuket town - didn't get out and see anything not that there looked like there was anything to see! And the next morning we were on a ferry boat on our way to the Island of Koh Phi Phi. Now we thought Goa was hot and Singapore really humid - but Thailand! It is without doubt the hottest place we've been in so far! We befriended some scouser girls on the ferry over and landed in Phi Phi and went with them to find some accommodation, within [View Full Entry]

Singa Singa Singapore Asia » Singapore
Well after a 6 hour flight sat next to a crazy dancing Indian we made it to Singapore! The crazy Indian dancer i speak of was literally sat next to me and was jigging his feet around for the entire journey as if he was in a Bollywood film, even whilst sleeping! Either he thought he was a Bollywood star or he didn't want to get DVT - I'm going with the former!! So we arrive in Singapore first thing in the morning and get a taxi to our accommodation. We booked it at the airport and we are true backpackers [View Full Entry]

Goodbye India Asia » India » Maharashtra » Mumbai
So today is our very last day in India and i'm sad to report that there were no offers to star in Bollywood - what is wrong with these people!! So we spent our last day taking a boat over to Elephanta Island, apparently its one of the main tourist attractions in Mumbai with century old caves. On our particular boat to the island we spend the journey trying to work out whether the other European on the boat is a man or a woman or a transexual! So we kept oursleves amused! We buy our tickets and thought it had [View Full Entry]

Points to Note Asia » India » Rajasthan » Jodhpur
hehe don't worry those of you who went to the college of law, though this is educational you won't be examined on it! Just so happens that whilst writing these blogs I have omitted some key things and observations that i really should share with you all! So here are my little tat bits and things that i'll remember frmo India! STD's These things are rife in India, in fact they're on every street corner, in fact even worse theres probably about 5 on each street! But fear not people its not what you lot think - originally we were told [View Full Entry]

Incredible India Asia » India » Rajasthan » Jodhpur
So its been one whole month and now our time in India has come to an end!Its with a touch of sadness but mostly gladness that we wend our way over to Singapore. We've enjoyed some good times, had a few laughs and shed mass amounts of tears (mainly mine!) but i can say we've truly had an Incredible Indian Experience! We're both now in a position where we can look back and be glad of what we've achieved. It was only a month ago when we arrived in Delhi and wanted to get the first plane out of there - [View Full Entry]

Bollywood here we come! Asia » India » Maharashtra » Mumbai
Last night in the midst of searching for some decent accommodation we were approached by some random guy who asked us if we wanted to star in an art film - due to it being dark and his dodgy appearance we declined his offer - but heres hoping theres more to come! Valentines day today and we set off on a whistle top tour of Mumbai. We go past Mumbai University and then the high court. Then we drive down Marine Drive and stop off at Chowpatty beach. Then up to the Malabar Hill area of town, where all the rich [View Full Entry]

Nigtmare day Asia » India » Rajasthan » Jodhpur
We start the day early as today we fly to Mumbai. Get a taxi to the airport and see a crash on route -which our taxi driver eagerly points out, nice! We aim to get to the airport at 12, 2 hours before our flight only to there and find out we got the time of our flight wrong its actually at 3 - least we're at the airport! Then Michelle has a look at the rest of our tickets - good job she did, we were under the impression that we were flying out of Mumbai to Singapore on friday [View Full Entry]
