We were woken early by idiots in the hallway so we wasted a little time in the room before getting ready to head for the 10:00am opening time of the Johor Premium Outlets. We had found out they had a Dome Cafe there, so had planned that breakfast was going to be there. I got a chicken and cheese croissant and a side of hash browns and Bec got eggs on toast, but they brought out hollandaise eggs which also had chicken on it, so that quickly went back. We did quite enjoy our breakfast though; more so then the outlets. They were so very disappointing; nothing compared to the USA Premium Outlets. The stores were of Premium quality but the prices also matched that. They were far from being discounted. We bought a couple of ... read more

After waking up several times throughout the night, I woke at 5:50am and reached to check the time, only to realise Bec was already awake too. We got another hour sleep before waking just before 7:00am. We were showered, dressed and out the door by 7:30am. Of course there was nothing open at this time but the beautiful thing was, there also wasn’t many people about either which made the photo taking a lot easier. We walked back in the same direction as the previous night, toward the Christ Church Melaka, then past the Hard Rock Cafe and down Jonker Street. It looked a lot different during the day with no people or flashy lights, faux clothing or junky bits and pieces. Some of the buildings were so old and beautiful. We walked along the river ... read more

We were up today at 7:40am when the alarm went off to shower briefly and finish packing. We were ready to leave and cabbed it to the airport by 8:45am. We got here probably a bit early but we preferred that to being late. We checked in then went outside while Bec had a smoke, then sat outside Starbucks for another half hour so Bec could have one last smoke before heading in. We breezed through security then went to get some breakfast/lunch at Burger King. After that we went into nearly every store that was in the airport before making our way to our gate where Bec and I found our tradition of massage chairs. They were only $2 for 8mins so we gave them two rounds. By that point it was 11:30am and it ... read more

Bec and I were up early today as the alarm was set for 6:30am for our 7:00am pickup. We got picked up about 7:15am and did a few other hotel pickups before making the hour journey up to Waialua, on the North Shore. We arrived and watched two videos (one was purely to say that they were not responsible at all if you get injured or die). Then we waited around for a bit before our name appeared on the board and it was our time to jump. We were harnessed up and did some quick photos with our respective photographers before walking across the paddock and boarding our small plane. This plane looked in much better condition than the one I went in out in the Yarra Valley back home.... read more

We were up at 5:30am to be picked up at 6:25am. Our tour was with Enoa Tours and our bus driver Shannon O'Brien was hilarious. Firstly, he took us through the streets of Waikiki and gave us a brief history about how it was originally supposed to be made into an island but when Wall Street crashed in 1929 they never finished the canal at the back of it to separate it. We also saw where Barry (President Barrack Obama) grew up. He then did an introduction of everyone on the bus (who everyone was, where they were from and what brought them to O’ahu). He then gave us a history of World War I, World War II, and that fateful day of December 7, 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese and 2,403 ... read more
