We should have done this earlier, but with the unpacking, washing and backpacker blues, time has slipped away from us, we’ve been back for a week or so now, started settling back into work and catch up with friends.
Lots of people have asked us our favourite places so here’s a few:
Romance and Worry Free Relaxing: [...]
Wow! What a few very busy days! We have been trying to pack as much in as we can. Our first day was a long sightseeing trip, going via Raffles and the Theatres (they look like giant sparkly bug eyes next to the river) and Parliament house. We have gone in most of the shopping [...]
We’ve left Kuala Lumpur with the worlds tallest twin towers and the worlds highest communication tower, the highest flagpole, the world best Airport with the worlds highest control tower, next to the worlds longest unsupported aircraft hanger to head for Singapore, oddly flying into the the worlds best Airport. Malaysians love boasting but some of [...]
To rip off Doug Adams “Space,is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly hugely mindboggingly big it is. I mean you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist, but that’s just peanuts to space”. Now if you just replace Space with Malaysian Shopping Malls you might get the [...]
It’s 5:30 in the morning, its dark, we’ve been up for hours and we’re sitting in the airport waiting for the gates to open for Singapore Airlines flight SQ220.
Too much to see, too little time hasn’t really mean’t much before this trip, a week anywhere isn’t enough.
We wanted to see something at Opera House but [...]
A simple waterproof sack that we’ve used to put our important items in, keeping it dry while kayak touring and hiking. What can we say, very durable and has been submerged too many times. Invaluble.
After lots of searching, we found this MP3 player on amazon for about 150 quid, which has turned out to be invaluble and rather robust!
We left the UK with 80 gig of music, video, photos of friends and family, digital copies of our passports, tickets and important documents all cleverly encrypted away from prying eyes. [...]
We’ve been in Sydney and about now for 4 days, having left the city for the sea side town of Narrabeen, we came back in today to help celebrate the bridges birthday!
Sydney is a vibrant city, full of people! We estimated that there are more people in Sydney than we saw in the entire of [...]
It was a wet, foggy, miserable day in National Park, so what better than watching all three Lord of the Rings in the comfort of the National Park Hostels Lounge? If we could see outside the window we would have seen the towering presence of Mt Ngauruhoe aka Mount Doom across the fields. As we [...]
We’re here in the capital of New Zealand, which incidentally shares its name with my home town. It’s true what they say of Wellington, it’s very very windy.
We came across the Strait from the south island yesterday which left us feeling like New Zealand was almost over for us (which of course it is, we [...]
