Sorry I haven't been updating this page at all. Here's a brief update and links to some photos: Since my last entry I have been down the east coast of Australia where I had a lot of beach and party time. I went diving and snorkelling, saw some nice islands along the way and I ended up in Sydney for Christmas and new year. I stayed with a friend there and we had some good parties. I then headed down to Melbourne and spent a while there either side of a 10 day trip to Tasmania. In Tasmania I rented a car with 2 French guys and we toured around the island which was cool, lots of nice scenery. After Australia I went to New Zealand where I done a road trip around the south island ... read more
I only planned to spend 3 days but my passport went missing from my hotel room and I had to wait 2 weeks for a new one which was annoying. I saw a few things in Singapore while I was there. It's mostly shopping malls and new buildings but there's a few older buildings and temples dotted about. I also got out of the city a few times. One time I went to an island on the east coast with some rainforest where you could ride around and look at the wildlife and the scenery which was nice. The thing that wasn't nice about Singapore was the alcohol prices, it would cost a fortune to go out so I stayed in quite a lot.... read more
I have been in Cairns a little while now. I've not got too much done yet as it's a bit of a party town but I'll be diving the great barrier reef in the next couple of days. I'll add an update when I've got a bit more to talk about.... read more
I was only in Bali for a few days. After being a bit sick of the rain every day in Kuala Lumpur I decided to go to Bali for some sun. Bali had some nice beaches with big waves, I nevere got to learn to surf there but I will do at some point in Australia. I also saw some more of the island with a local as a tour guide and we saw a traditional Balinese dance show where they have lots of big costumes and masks.... read more
I haven't updated this for ages so I'll quickly fill you in on what I've been upto. In Malaysia I started off visiting a couple of islands on the west coast. There was some really nice scenery and beaches and I met lots of cool people there. I will actually get round to putting some photos up soon. Next I went on to Cameron Highlands in central Malaysia. There we went jungle trekking up a mountain and saw some more nice views. After that I went to Kuala Lumpur for a few days and spent my time wandering round the city and the park taking pictures and partying at night.... read more
Just a quick update, I have to go and get a bus in a minute. After a month in Cambodia I'm back in Thailand. I'm in Bangkok now and I'm heading south to Ko Phi Phi tonight. Hopefully theres not too much rain so I can get on the beach. I'll write a bit more when I have more time.... read more
I'm still in Phnom Penh now but I'm going south to Kampot tomorrow. I've been working in a bar for a bit to save some money. It's been good fun but I got to move now and do something different. Hopefullly the weather is ok so I can get in some beach time in the south.... read more
I arrived in Cambodia a few days ago and I've been in Phnom Penh. It's a really cool city which is no where near as hectic as I thought it would be. It's actually quite relaxing compared to Saigon. Not sure how long I'm spending in Cambodia yet but I'm in no rush to leave.... read more
I spent about 5 days in Saigon and I stayed with a Vietnamese family in a part where there's no tourists. It was another good chance to see the local culture and try lots of different local food, I went to all sorts of different local places. Saigon was a crazy city though, there's always something going on and I've never seen so many motorbikes on a road at one time before. This was my last stop in Vietnam before Cambodia. Vietnam was a lot of fun and I'm sure I'll come back one day.... read more
I spent a couple of days in Mui Ne which is a cool little beach town with some big sand dunes nearby. The beach is so quiet you can easily find a spot where you are nowhere near anyone else. Its a surfing and kite surfing spot when the conditions are right but there wasn't enough wind when I was there so I didn't have a chance to give it a go.... read more
