So...the story continues We left Phuket at 0530 for the flight to Singapore. Once there we booked our hotel at the airport. The taxi driver spoke really good English and told us loads of great places to go. I wanted to visit the night zoo so we did that on the first night. It was a good evening and saw lots of animals including Lions and Tigers. I really liked Singapore. The climate was just right, and the city was clean and welcoming. Nearly everyone spoke English. We looked round the shops and went to the cinema to see the new Hannibal film. (was ok). On the second day we went to Sentosa island. We went to see the underwater world and Dolphin show. It was a good day out and not too expensive, although more ... read more

Hi everyone, Well last time I wrote i was in Phi Phi, we left there and went onto Phuket on 3rd of March. However when we were on the boat waiting for the boat to leave I remembered that i hadnt emptied the safe in our hotel room which had the tickets, passports, money, mp3 player and everything in (not a smart move). So James volunteered to get off the boat go back and get my stuff out of the safe then catch the next boat to Phuket - I now double check the safe whenever i leave somewhere! While in Phuket the girls convinced me to go to the doctors about my sunburn because my leg and foot were so swollen and i had big blisters around my ankle so it made it difficult to ... read more

Selemat Pagi! (Good day-just about the only thing I've learnt in 4 weeks). Hope all's well in your worlds, i am bagus! Right, I think we'd just arrived in Bali last time, so as soon as the good weather came out, we hot-footed it to the beach where, after days of rain and travelling we just wanted to relax and fall asleep in the sun. No sooner had my sarong hit the sand we were pounced upon in every direction, by the whole world and his many wives, offering "manicures, pedicures, massage....?" Polite refusal is something that is quite hard to understand over here, but we were strong and didn't succomb to the countless sarongs, beads, sunglasses that we were being laden with. The only escape is to run to the sea, so that's where I ... read more

BALI E rieccoci quindi a descrivere gli ultimi giorni trascorsi a Bali. Prima di tutto un cenno al lavoro. Le operazioni di acquisto si sono concluse e con nostra sorpresa abbiamo scoperto che il volume totale della merce acquistata superava di gran lunga le nostre aspettative e di conseguenza fino al momento della chiusura e della partenza del container, prevista per il 15 di Marzo, non possiamo sapere se sara’ necessaria o meno una seconda spedizione differenziata… Abbiamo strafatto come al solito…  Siamo quindi nelle mani dello spedizioniere che ci aggiornera’ riguardo l’effettiva situazione solo quando noi saremo ormai partiti… E’ arrivata, anche se in netto ritardo, la stagione delle pioggie vera e propria che si contraddistingue soprattutto per il fatto che il cielo e’ spesso grigio, proprio adesso che avevamo qualche giorn... read more
