Singapore
Arrived in Singapore just in time for Diwali and Eid so lots of lights around to make the place look pretty :)

Mendhi
Got some Mendhi done for Diwali, which was cool.

Largest flower in the world!
We made a trip to the famous Singapore Zoo, which was a bit disappointing if I am honest. However we did get to see this flower in bloom which apparently only blooms once a year.

Chinese Clan house
Stumbled across this old chinese clan house in Penang which was very ornate.

Cameron Highlands
Hill station in Malaysia. Was a nice cool temperature after sticky KL.

Anyone for tea?
A tea plantation in Cameron Highlands.

Our first taste of tropical beaches
Me arriving with big backpack in Langkawi! The beach was stunning and the water was so warm.....true paradise!

Thailands Tropical beaches are stunning
I think the picture says it all....

Khosan Road
The road where you can buy almost anything!

Grand Palace Bangkok
We saw so many Wats in Thailand, but I think this was my favourite one.

Fun whizzing around on the bike
We hired a bike in Chaing Mai and had lots of fun whizzing around like the locals, don't you think the helmet suits me??!

Thai Cooking class
Me making Phad Thai, yum yum!

R.I.P. George
This is a pic of our pet Gecko, George (from Cambodia). We found him in our bathroom, however the next day we found him on the floor dead, I was really :( There are loads of Geckos around however George was very cute!

Mysterious faces of Angkor Wat
These faces lined the entrance to one of the palaces/temples. It is said that there is a strong resemblance to the King that reigned at the time.

Another snap fron Angkor Wat
Got a bit snappy on this trip but it was truely impressive!

Street stalls everywhere you go
Just about anywhere in Vietnam you can find someone selling something on the streets (always looks so fresh too!), most often fruits of some kind. Just today I saw some guy with a Saw not entirely sure which service he was offering but hey!

Mini Eiffel Tower in Da Lat
Da Lat was a town in the mountains. Was interesting place had a different feel to it..can't quite explain. Anyway they also had a Eiffel tower look alike which was amusing.

Strong Vietnamese woman
There are woman all over the place carrying their goods. They often are tiny but they must be strong as they cart around these goods all day

Mekong Delta
Did a trip to the Mekong Delta, which was really interesting. Sailed pass a lot of floating villages. Also went to a floating market which was good to see, very different to camden Market!

Yum Yum..fancy some snake wine?
A local favourite in the Mekong area. I wasn't brave enough to try it but Ivan did, said it tasted disgusting!

Misty Halong Bay
Visited the UNESCO heritage site of Halong bay. We didn't get a sunny day but the mist added a cool feel to the place.

Girls on bikes
Every time we have been on a journey we have passed children on there way from school on bike, must be so much more healthier than British kids!
