We finally left Moyo Island, I really thought that the day would never arrive! Time for a change of scene and culture. I am ready for some good old western cuisine and to be in a place where they speak English, say like Australia. We had one stop before we got there, namely Singapore. I love Singapore. It is such a clean and friendly place. I also like it as it reminds me of my family. If my Daddy was still alive then he had planned to take a final posting to Singapore, so my family would have been living here at this point in time. Obviously that wasn’t to be, but it is a comfort to think that we would have been there. Strange, but true. Singapore also happens to be my Mummy’s favourite place ... read more

My 4th Disney day of the trip! During last October when I was onboard the Disney Magic I went to a talk about the different theme parks that a lady from Disney Imagineering gave. She asked everybody in the audience who had been to which parks and had anybody been to all of them (nobody put their hands up for that), she went on to say that she had a friend who for her 25th birthday had visited every park round the world. That is Disneyland, California Adventure, Disneyland Paris, Disney Studios, Disneyland Hong Kong, Disneyland Tokyo, Tokyo Disney Sea, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM, and Disney Animal Kingdom. I went away from that talk thinking oooo that is what I want to do for my 25th birthday. Well I will be 25 in just over 2 ... read more

This day was certainly a very different day from what was planned. Most of it was totally unnecessary, as my mum would say a good smack could have done the trick (but we don’t hit children, or at least you don’t hit other people’s children no matter how much you think the little darlings would benefit from one - let’s not open the smacking debate, we will leave it at my parents certainly gave me a good hiding in my time and it did me no harm, in fact I still get a smack round the back of the head from my mum and aunt, obviously now it is done in good fun with all of us laughing). Anyway that is jumping way ahead. Again this day was billed as a quiet day with nothing much ... read more

Plans change a lot, and I am always the last one to know what is going on. Today was meant to be a short and quiet is day. Was it really like that, like heck it was. We were out all day, not that that is a problem, but I would like to know the plans of the day so I can mentally prepare myself for the task ahead. In other words I like to have a battle plan. Today’s programme was a mixed one. It started out with a walk to the local food market -oh goodie. HB was not happy about going to another market; I think she had been traumatised by the fish market in Vietnam. Well she needn’t have been worried; I don’t think that I have seen a market that was ... read more

My 2nd day off in 32 days! So much for 2 days in every 14, more like 1 a month. For this month’s day off I decided to go to Tokyo Disney Sea! This is a big milestone. A huge milestone, because I will have visited every Disney park in the world! How great is that? Well not that great for you, but yay me. Tokyo Disney Sea blows all other Disney parks out of the water in terms of themeing and details. They have as the centre piece of their park a massive volcano that erupted every now and then. Words cannot do it justice - so take a close look at all the photos. I was at the park before opening and at Tower of Terror not long after that. It already had a ... read more
