Well, following growing calls for me to contribute something else to this blog I will oblige and confirm to my parents that we are currently in Sydney, having spent the last couple of weeks travelling south from Cairns.   This is actually our second ... Read more >

Darwin (New Year) and Cairns

AUSTRALIA | Wednesday, 7 Jan 2009 | Views [524] | Comments [2]

We arrived in Darwin at 4 am and had to spend a few hours lying on the floor of the airport until we could catch the bus to our hostel. Disappointingly, we were in Darwin at the worst possible time apparently - the 'build up', just before the rainy ... Read more >


Borneo (Monsopiad) and Singapore (Xmas)

MALAYSIA | Wednesday, 7 Jan 2009 | Views [447] | Comments [1]

In need of a little culture, we visited Monsopiad cultural village, just outside Kota Kinabalu in Borneo to understand more about the headhunters that the area is so famous for.  We did indeed see a collection of skulls collected by the chief in the ... Read more >

Borneo; Sepliok Orang-utang Sanctuary,

MALAYSIA | Thursday, 18 Dec 2008 | Views [689]

Despite good intentions and caring faces, it would be massively inaccurate to say that orang-utans have been rehabilitated by our presence in the Sepilok sanctuary over the last couple of days. About the best we can say is that we haven’t tangibly harmed ... Read more >

Singapore II

SINGAPORE | Tuesday, 9 Dec 2008 | Views [336]

An interim update before we head to Borneo for the next couple of weeks’ hopefully lounging in the sun, rehabilitating orangutangs(!) and giving the evil eye to younger/healthier looking backpackers – where do 18 year olds get the money for these trips ... Read more >

Singapore and Kuala Lumpur

MALAYSIA | Friday, 5 Dec 2008 | Views [457] | Comments [1]

Our trip has begun with a gentle introduction to Asia with a few days at my brother's apartment in Singapore (although a bout of sickness and diarrhea within 24 hours of landing slightly marred the experience - 90% humidity does not provide great conditions ... Read more >
