So here we are - at the last installment! Its been a long 2 years, but looking back it's all passed quite quickly, especially these last 2 months! Borneo has been very different from the rest of our tour - much more about doing things than chilling and getting Nepal out of our systems. So some thoughts on the different places we saw here: Kuching: Rained the first couple of days but quite a nice place anyway! Lots of improvements going on and our hotel was bran...

So two weeks in Malaysia and what do we think of it so far? Well its very different from Thailand - twice the price for a start! And it is very commercialised, seeming pretty american in places which makes it sound awful which its certainly not, but it doesn't have as much personality as Thailand, or if it does its all about money! Saying that, everything is very good quality and we are having a good time, it can just seem a little sterile in places, particularly...

Then the trave...

So what's good about not being in Nepal?

The prices! still showering in cold water though at 35C its more tolerable; sunburned buttocks from overdoing the snorkelling; Anyway, our first wee...

Our last month in Nepal seems to have been a series of parties and meals out - not that different from the rest of our time here you may suspect, but that's because usually we only tell you about the fun things and this month it really has been like that! We started off with inviting Meena and Shyam, the landlady and landlord, to our flat with Alan who'll be taking it over when we go and Suzannah, who has moved in downstairs. We warned them in advance that we co...
