Yes, Im back home in good old Blighty, and the time has come for my final blog installment... sobsob! We travelled overnight to Kanchanaburi on Thursday 24 April and arrived there about 8 am on Friday morning. Our transport to our guesthouse was hilarious - one woman on a pushbike with Ellie, me and all our belongings on a cart behind - what a job! Our guesthouse had a lovely lawn with hammocks, and sat right on the River Kwai. We spent the morning at the Tha...

Sawadi - kaa! Or in English, Hello! Again I'm having problems uploading my pictures, so these will have to follow.

Really like Singapore - it's big, clean, quite spacious, and 'user-friendly'. On our last night we went to the night safari where we sa...

Hello from Singapore! So, our Australian adventures finally came to an end, and we flew out to Singapore yesterday. Our last few days were cool, we went to a croc farm on the way to Cairns on Friday and held a variety of interesting beasts (check the pictures!), then we were taken round the farm and watched lots of crocs get fed. The first we saw was a 5.5m croc, invisible until the keeper hit the water with a stick and this ENORMOUS crocodile jumped out - I sti...
