Hi everyone, here is a belated blog from my time in Singapore and Borneo. Now in Bali relaxing, diving and dodging the rain! yep it rains alot in Bali! A few weeks ago now, but stepped off the plane in Singapore after an amazingly luxurious flight with Quantas - nope sadly didn't get upgraded they just don't seem to do that anymore!
