Blog to follow. .... I am so tired I could sleep forever. Well our hour stopover in Australia was interesting. We all had to leave the plane and take everything with us and then go through security and out again, even though we had already been checked twice and we're not even staying in the country! Not a good introduction to Australia. Anyway after an hour of queing we were off again and next stop Auckland, New Zealand. We have worked through the jet lag a...

On arriving in Kuala Lumpur we had to collect our bags and go through passport control and customs.

Our flight left at 8.50 so we had plenty of time to eat our breakfast and check in etc, then sat in a nice coffee shop using their wifi until the flight left. No...

Krabi It's raining.. or it was when we arrived in Krabi, Thailand. We are spending the week here to have a little bit of a holiday to end our three and a half month visit to Asia. Whilst we have visited Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, we haven't spent our time lying on beaches so to make sure we get the whole experience we are forcing ourselves to lay back and enjoy the sunshine (yes it stops raining occasionally) before we leave Asia for Oceania, lovely...
