Hello everyone. This was one our last places to visit so we thought we'd make it somewhere a bit different and decided on Niagara Falls. Out of everywhere we've been, this was probably the best spectacle of the lot. It's impossible to explain how big and powerful the falls are. Even up to about half a mile away, it felt like it was raining because there's so much mist coming up from the river. We had to wear rain ponchos for the 2 tours we went on. Niagara Falls actually separates America and Canada so we walked over the rainbow bridge from country to country which was a bit strange. We didn't know but there was actually 2 falls there. Niagara (or horseshoe to the Americans) and the American Falls. The American Falls are really impressive, ... read more

The capital of the USA. Another 2 flights, 2 trains and a bus to get here but it has definitely been worth it. Loads of famous buildings, statues and monuments to see and the weather has been red hot! The warmest place we've been so far. All the main sites are within a mile or two of each other so it wasn't too bad walking around in the heat. It feels a bit like London here but it's probably because there both Capital cities. Time for another flight and another city. It'll be worth it though!... read more

Another week, another destination. This time, Disneyworld, Florida. We thought we needed a bit of change from the usual things we’ve been doing, so what better place than here. It took 3 flights to get here from Vegas. It should have been 2 but we flew into stormy weather trying to land in Orlando so had to go to Tampa for refuelling. After 20 minutes we went back to Orlando where we tried to land, only to have to ascend again just metres from the runway because of high winds!! Very scary. We finally got to our hotel, The All Star Sports Resort, at about 1 am. We’ve had such a great time here. People think it’s just for kids but there’s so much more here. Big rollercoaster’s, golf courses, hundreds of restaurants and loads of ... read more

Us again. We've spent the last 5 days in Hollywood. The weather is still red hot. 39 degrees all week. It's a great city but very dangerous. We had to come back to the hotel before dark because the streets can be very dodgy at night even though we stopped in Beverly Hills. We haven't seen any famous people we know but did see someone getting out of a car with loads of paparazzi swarming around her. Hollywood boulevard is great. It's got loads to do including the walk of fame and the Kodak theatre, the place where the Oscars are filmed. We've been to Universal Studios as well. The studio tour was really good. It shows you all the sets where loads of famous films and TV shows are filmed. Back to the Future, King ... read more

Hello again everyone. Really starting to get the hang of the blog now. We've just arrived in Kuala Lumpur airport again after 3 nights on kecil Island, one of the 2 Perhentian Islands. We stayed at the Senja Bay Resort. The place was breathtaking. It was like a paradise Island. No roads, just 3 or 4 boats coming onto the beach everyday with supplies. The water was crystal clear with tropical fish all around. We walked from one side of the island to the other in about 5 minutes through a jungle clearing. There was only 2 or 3 restaurants on our beach but we were staying full board so didn't have to worry about food. There was no beer on our beach but we did find a small bar on long beach to quench our ... read more
