Next stop was Singapore. Had a few must-dos here for our 2 nights here, so we did them! Arrived on the Thursday morning, the usual fun journey, moved from our luxury coach to public bus, on and off and on and off through passport control then an hour long journey through Singapore with no idea where to get off!! Hostel was good, in the centre of Little India, although we didn't spend much time in the local area. The only downsides were lack of air-con in the ro...

The next day we went on the hunt for trishaws (a 3 wheeled ...

The next day we got up early and headed over to the Pe...

Kerry again, just a quick note about Phuket... ...We were here for approximately 12 hours from 5 in evening to 5 in the morning so didn't get to see much of it, but of what we did see, it was pretty commercial and seedy. The best bit for me was an advert outside a massage parlour warning of 'no happy endings' (so maybe I should take my seedy comment back). Our hours were pretty much spent eating and shopping. We met up with a girl we met in Koh Phangan and went...
