Right, well have been back a week and it's the night before I go back to school. Ben went back to work on tuesday and both of us are totally amazed at how quickly things have returned to normal. Have uploaded lots of piccies onto Facebook but haven't actually got round to uploading Singapore piccies on here. The flight was mostly fine and we got to Heathrow 10 minutes ahead of schedule. We were back in our ickle house for just gone 7.00 that morning and I'm pleased to say neither of us have really suffered with jet lag. It really [View Full Entry]

Our last day in Singapore. We're just waiting to get picked up in an hour or so to go to the airport. It really has gone sooooo fast. Just hoping for an uneventful and safe flight back to Blighty. Despite being our last day we've still fitted a lot in. This morning we went to the Changi Museum and Chapel which is the place where the British, Australian and Indian POW's spent the second world war during Japenese ocupation of Singapore. Really moving and makes you think about how easy we've all got it nowadays. After the museum (only three rooms [View Full Entry]

Right, well we're back at the internet cafe waiting to check-in online for our flight tomorrow so we thought we'd see if we could add some piccies (fingers crossed!). Went to Sentosa today and had a really good time. Got there by going on a cable car that took in wonderful views of Singapore. Went on a couple of rides and watched a 4D film then went on somthing called a luge which is a cross between a go kart and sledge - lots of fun. I was rubbish and took a leisurely pace to the end and Ben thought he [View Full Entry]

Weds 13th - Visited Perth city (Ben' sister lives in a town abot 40 mins away called Jarradale). Lovely place, wished we had more time to explore (oh well an excuse to go back!). [View Full Entry]

Just got back from our winnery tour of the Barossa Valley and have had the best time drinking lots and lots of wine! Our tour guide from he Groovy Grape company picked us up really early (about 7.55!) and took us first to the biggest rocking horse in the world - it really was massive. We then went onto a huge dam called 'The Whispering Wall' where one person walks across to one end and the acoustics mean that you can have a conversation with someone like they were right next to you. After this our tour guide said to everybody [View Full Entry]

Right, got to Adelaide yesterday and the jury's still out on what we think of the place! It was an ickle bit stressful driving in after lots of wide country roads with nothing to see apart from great views to then drive into a city with traffic lights and beeping cars certaining made me freak (esp as I was the one reading the map!). Had two nights on Kangaroo island weds to fri and had a very rough crossing across (I felt quite sick). This however was nothing in comparison to the drive from the port, Penneshaw to our hotel in [View Full Entry]

Right, so impressed we were that a computer on out trvels has let us upload some piccies we've decided to come back and put on some more! The weather has been pretty awful today, went for a walk along the river and had a ride on one of Adelaide's free buses (yes free!) around the town. Really impressed that there's free buses and they're not manky either! There's free buses in Melbourne too which of course we took full advantage of! After even more horrible rain we decided we'd had enough of Adelaide so we caught a bus (had to pay [View Full Entry]

We're just at the ferry terminal waiting for our ferry to depart in about half an hour to Kangaroo Island. Unfortunately the weather is a bit poo and the sea looks extremely choppy even in port so I expect I'll be a nervous wreck (shouldn't say that word) the whole crossing. So far the road trip has been lovely but once again i'm using a computer that doesn't take piccies so people will have to wait! On Monday we arrived at this lovely little fishing village called Port Fairy that had lots of lovely people in it (e.g. we asked the [View Full Entry]

Right well we're on day two of our six day road trip and both of us can now say we've driven an automatic car and driven in Australia (although I only drove around a car park!). At the minute we're in a place called Apollo Bay which is on the Great Ocean Raod. It's very quiet but really chilled and the veiws are AMAZING! We're also just on the beach so we've had an ickle walk along the golden sands. I was REALLY freaked out about driving out of Melbourne but it wasn't so bad in the end and Ben seemed [View Full Entry]
