deanandsarah - Dean & Sarah

Yay, after both wanting to travel the world for as long as we can remember we are finally off!

A year working, living with mom :-) and general penny pinching and we've managed to save up enough to get rid of our post Uni finances - now up to that magical figure zero! With graduate loans in hand we are planning to travel for the next 9/10 months across Asia.

Fingers crossed route will be London > Dubai > India > Sri Lanka > Vietnam > Cambodia > Laos > Thailand > Malaysia > Indonesia > Singapore > London

We will update the blog with pictures and stories for you all as often as possible, apologies in advance if that is'nt too often!

We will miss you all very much and will be thinking of you (and the lovely British weather) whilst we lay in the sun, drink in hand :-) he he... keep us updated with messages when you can...

All our love, Sar and Dean xxx

Fjords, Fish and Family in the Faroe Islands Europe » Faroe Islands » Eysturoy » Leirvík

Midnight sunset at Valeries house

Dont worry people... we are not travelling again (we wish!) but our holidays this year in the Faroe Islands were unusual and photogenic enough to warrant a little write up and a few photos. So here we go mini-blog! For any (most) people who have no idea where the Faroes are; they are a small group of islands north of scotland in the north sea midway between Iceland and Norway. I have a lot of family on my fathers side who live there and so I have been lucky enough to visit a few times as a child but having not [View Full Entry]

Serious plane! More power than a jumbo and only 85 seats!

So-long Singapore Asia » Singapore » Bugis Village

Diner view from the Quayside! AMAZING!

NOTE: Sorry for typos and the lack of any detail and/or the fwe photos but weve only got a few minutes before we are off and this computer is ancient! Hello Readers! It is here, the final blog! We know you have all been waiting for it with naited breath, so fight back the tears, lets get on with it...! Our last night in KL was predictably brilliant. Yet again involving copius amounts of brilliant local food. This time Jonathan took us out to try the infamous fish head and pork ribs. The food was amazing and we even brought some [View Full Entry]

Pricey but Pretty Perhentians Asia » Malaysia » Terengganu » Perhentian Besar

Perhentian evenings - Kayaks moored up on Pulau Besar

We know titles have descended into silly-ness now, but to be fair its all nearly over now so we havn't got time to think of blog titles. We will be back in the UK in a week, its worrying to even say it. But hey we will save all those end of travels type messages for the final blog from Singapore we think... ...Anyway how are you readers? :) Hope you are all well and have been behaving yourselves while you've had no blogs the last few weeks to keep you entertained on those balmy British summer evenings! Believe it [View Full Entry]

Malaysian Munchies! Asia » Malaysia » Wilayah Persekutuan » Kuala Lumpur

KL Square at night

Hello everyone, Hopefully your all enjoying the great British summer (tee hee!) though to be fair you only really know rain once you visit the tropics. When it rains here it RAINS! Drizzle is not even a concept! From Bandung it was another slightly disorganised departure by AirAsia. The flight had been re-scheduled, again! Still we were put on a flight only about an hour later than originally intended. It was quite amusing hanging around though as Bandung aiport is TINY! Anyone who has been to the Faroeese national aiport or an aiport like the East Midlands one will have some [View Full Entry]

Irresistable Indonesia Asia » Indonesia

Traditional Balinese dancers 1

Hello world, hope your all OK and ready for the latest thrilling (?) installment of the blog! To be fair the titles are probably the highlight these days! Irresistable, sigh! WARNING: We have done quite a lot (and more milage) this last 2 weeks so this is one loooong blog! So if your only after a quick visit ckeck out the pictures and videos, otherwise get yourself a healthy beverage (I reccomend carrot or tomato juice!) and get comfortable! We set off from Sabah pretty late as when we got to the airport the woman on the desk said oh that [View Full Entry]

Balineese food is lovely! Feast after our mini cookery class

Sensational Sabah Asia » Malaysia » Sabah

High above the South China Sea with a hangover on Air Asia!

Hello everyone from the isle of Borneo, Before anyone gets confused Borneo is an island of which half is Malaysian owned and half is Indonesian owned (we will ignore Brunei for ease!). The Malaysian part is split into southern Sarahwak and northern Sabah i.e. where we are now, get it? Got it? Good! We arrived in Tawau pretty late at night and needed sleep after the night before in Hanoi!! Thanks Aled and Lia! The town seemed dead but we found a little place to stay in the book before planning to bus it to Sandakan the next day. In the [View Full Entry]

Another day another country, note our malay friends leading the way in true asian style!

Heavenly Halong Asia » Vietnam » Red River Delta » Halong Bay

Halong Caves 1

Hello Everyone, hope you are all well. This is just a mini (and already late) blog to keep you all updated and also it neatly ties up Vietnam so that the blogs dont get too hard to follow! I expect most of you will end up reading this at the same time as the previous blog as they are so close together so shouldn't be too much bother! And yes before you ask they ARE shocking sandal tan lines on my feet in the panoramic picture above (I hope your enjoying the new panormas on the blogs, makes it look almost [View Full Entry]

Hoi An nightscene

EDIT: Stupid PC just deleted yesterdays walk pics, Ive just had to run out and take a few more. Not as good but you get the idea. And its also not going to let you guys have any video for now!!! Hi back at home, it's us in Vietnam again! Hope all is well back in the sunny UK? :) So to catch up... we left the twee times of Dalat early the next morning, leaving our huge lovely room and decided to bus it to Hoi An with a change at Nha Trang, an un-inviting journey of nearly 24 hours!

Vibrant Vietnam Asia » Vietnam » Southeast » Ho Chi Minh City

Is this Vegas or Vietnam?!?

Hello World! Yes I know Vibrant, terrible, but you try thinking of a better word beginning with V!! It was the best we could think of... suggestions on the back of an e-postcard please! So yes another blog another country and this time its Vietnam! We've only got 2 real countries left after this (if you exclude Singapore and don't class Malaysian Borneo as a different country!) so we are trying to appreciate everyday to the max as it will all be over soon! Last time we blogged we was post Angkor. From Siem Reap we took a largely uneventful bus [View Full Entry]

Amazing Angkor! Asia » Cambodia » North » Angkor

Beautiful Banteay Srei

Hi Everyone, Apoligies if this blog is written a bit weirdly but we have decided to write a bit each day while we are in Siem Reap as we have free internet at the hotel. Also we don't want to write about Angkor all in one go because I think we would forget a lot of stuff! (We also have to download the pictures to Deans gadget everyday because there are many!!!) So I think we last wrote about Battambang... we left early in the morning to get on a five hour bumpy bus journey to Siem Reap. The road was [View Full Entry]
