arrhh Jakarta

INDONESIA | Monday, 30 Jul 2007 | Views [358]

Well Jakarta hasn't really lived up to my standards of a nice place to visit. The traffic is shocking and the smog is the worst I have ever experienced. You would not know the sky is actually blue. It is quite un-inviting with all the high walls around ... Read more >

Palu Langkawi

MALAYSIA | Friday, 27 Jul 2007 | Views [5327] | Comments [1]

Well we decided to fly to an island off the north west coast of Malaysia called Palu Langkawi. Unfortunately we picked a crap hotel but that was our fault as we went for the cheapest one. The island has plenty of monkeys, eagles (we are staying in ... Read more >

Kuala Lumpur

MALAYSIA | Monday, 23 Jul 2007 | Views [2974]

Well we have not long been in KL that we realise we don't want to spend 5 nights here. We are already looking to spend a few days somewhere else. We'll go for a walk round the city and check out the sights first of course but we would prefer to be ... Read more >

Paradise that is Phuket

AUSTRALIA | Friday, 20 Jul 2007 | Views [6361]

Well what a beautiful few days relaxing in Phuket and finishing off with a speedboat tour of Ko Phi Phi and a couple of other Islands. Our accomodation is rediculous considering we only paid $20 a night each for our own rooms. This would be costing ... Read more >

Back in Bangkok

THAILAND | Monday, 16 Jul 2007 | Views [404]

Back in Bangkok for the second and third group games of the Asian Cup. Unfortunately Australia are not fairing very well so we might move on shall we? Bangkok is an experiance and a half. It is smoggy, dirty and it smells but then again that can ... Read more >

Stunning Ha Long Bay

VIETNAM | Wednesday, 11 Jul 2007 | Views [40219] | Comments [2]

Well, what can I say. The two day tour of Ha Long Bay has left us wishing we had done the three day tour. It was awesome. The boat (a chinese junk), the food (all prepared fresh), the crew (very helpful) and the picture perfect sights. Had great ... Read more >

Bangkok (need I say more)

THAILAND | Sunday, 8 Jul 2007 | Views [344]

The Socceroos played Oman today and we were rubbish. I think I'll just put that behind me. Well it was a great start to the adventure, stuck in Sydney airport for an extra 5 hours. We didn't get into Bangkok until about 3:30am and then had to get a taxi ... Read more >

My Final Post

AUSTRALIA | Thursday, 19 Oct 2006 | Views [404]

I have been back nearly two weeks now and am getting back into the reality of having to get up each morning and go to work rather than to Rome or Paris. It does take a few days though and getting fit again after all the drinking and eating will take a ... Read more >

Only a few days to go now and I'll be on my way home to Brisbane. In the last couple of weeks I have travelled to the North of England and the North of France. I have been to Manchester twice to watch Manchester United play at Old Trafford. I have also ... Read more >

Made it to England from Croatia a few days ago. From the airport I had to take a train to Farrington station, then the tube from Farrington to Liverpool Street station, where I got on another train to Colchester Station, where I got a bus into the main ... Read more >

Just relaxing in the sun

CROATIA | Sunday, 10 Sep 2006 | Views [249]

Arrived in Slit today from the island of Hvar where I had been for the last three nights. Hvar was all about sunbaking on the beaches of the various islands with a swim here and there to cool off. Tough life, I admit. Just in Split for two nights before ... Read more >

A Motor Boat or a Sail Boat?

CROATIA | Tuesday, 5 Sep 2006 | Views [583]

I can't quite decide which one I want to buy to cruise up and down the Adriatic in. The coast of Croatia is on par with the best Australia can offer but can probably go in front as Australia cannot offer the old towns that Croatia can offer or as many ... Read more >
