Well singapore, singapore!!!! we had the impression that Singapore would be clean and clinical hmmmmm we saw very different on our 24hr visit. We Knew that the hotels were going to be alot more expensive than we have been used too so did a bit of research on the net and found that Geylang was the cheapest area! We arrived by bus and made our way through the border where there are no atms for those people reading this that may do the same thing. It only took us 4hrs by bus from Kl to Singapore a short journey from what [View Full Entry]

Bali Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Sanur
Well after our great flight with Qantas we arrived in Bali at some hour of the morning! There is a set rate for taxis at the airport and we wanted to be some where that was not built up but not too far away as it was very late so we opted for Sanur opposed to the busy Kuta! we got a taxi and he took us to the cheapest place he knew! In the dark Bali looked a lot more built up than we had thought it would be, we arrived at the hotel and had to wake up the [View Full Entry]

Well we arrived in Kuala Lumpur this morning! After our boat from the perhentian islands last night we came to the port where we thought we could easily buy a ticket for a bus to Kuala Lumpur.....we were wrong!!!! The bus from the port was full so we had to get a taxi to the next largest town Kota Bharu where we bought a ticket for the 9.30pm bus. We wasted some time by wheeling our backpacks around in a shopping trolley looking like right idiots ha ha ha! we then got stuck with some local that wanted to just [View Full Entry]

Hello there! Well since the last time i wrote, we have been busy bee's............................. Ste passed his Padi diving course with flying colours, it was so much harder than we both thought it would be. He had to take a 50 question exam and do all kinds of skills in the water like take his mask off and clear it off the water then put it back on again! Something that i certainly could not have done!! So now Mr Conner is able to dive as a qualified diver not just a fun diver.....very posh hey! I am very proud [View Full Entry]

Snorkelling

So Easy

Hello everybody! Well since the last entry we left Rai lay and went to Koh Phi Phi, the place where the beach is filmed! We took a ferry which took an hour and a half to get over there...........The island itself was much bigger than we thought and as you got closer you could see how much it was really like Corfu but with noodles! We were chucked off the boat then it was backpacks on in the blazing sun and into the madness. There were little streets cram packed with travel agents, shops, diving centers and guesthouses., every place [View Full Entry]

Boat Man
Restaurant
Love Diving!

Well we have arrived at the beautiful beaches of southern Thailand! After Leaving Chiang Mai we got on our flight to Bangkok, We flew with air Asia who were very cheap.......but we soon realised why! they allow 15kgs of check in baggage and obviously we were over by quite a bit so they said we could either pay or take out some bits and out them into our hand luggage. We had to pay for both flights one from Chiang Mai to Bangkok then one from Bangkok to Krabi! So that amounted to quite a bit so we decided to [View Full Entry]
