Hi All We are island hopping now in Thailand. We had an issue at customs because they only gave Graham a two week entry despite all the hassel we had queuing at the Thailand Embassy in Kuala Lumpa! The boat journey was interesting as we got soaked by the waves and then it started to rain and we had no cover. We were then transferred to a smaller long tail boat, which was not very easy to get on! But we are in Koa Lanta and we are exploring the islands. W...

Hi Everyone The train from Singapore to Malaka took 10 hours. When we arrived in Tampin it was like being in the middle of nowhere. So we had to get a taxi off this dodgy looking bloke who then showed us to his brother with his 1970`s Mercedes Benz. It worked out OK in the end but we were a bit nervous!

Hi everyone, We are now on the last leg of our travels so I thought I would update you with our progress. We are now in Asia.

After our last blog we made a trip to McLaren Vale for a quick wine tour. We are trying to get a full house in vineyards! We flew to Sydney where we hired a campervan, or rather a Hippie van. From there we drove up to Port Stevens with a one night stop over in Newcastle. We ...

Hi Guys We are now in Australia. We arrived in Melbourne a few day before the tennis. It is an elegant city. Nice pubs, but not so good for the diet - our tight budget helped us to resist. We did lots of walking around and window shopping instead!! We went to an open air cinema in the Royal Botanical Gardens on Sunday night, which was family night. Jane would have liked it as there were loads of Dogs, but no westies! We lost each other in the park at t...
