Cameron Highlands. We arrived in the Cameron Highland in Malysia after a really sketchy drive up from Penang. It seemed to take ages and the aircon on the bus decided to give up on us.... ive never sweated so much on a bus before! We arrived and jumped off the bus to be greeted by a lush cool breeze. It had just stopped raining and the air was pretty fresh. Piled our bags into a mini bus and treked up to our hotel. Lucky for us the hotel was fully booked (strang...

Managed to swap seats with an India guy so that Lauren and I could sit together, it took a lot of hand flapping and gestures to get t...

People say that when you get to Delhi, you want to turn around and head straigt back out again....that was exactly true after our 16 hour over night train journey from Varanasi to Delhi! The train wasnt actually to bad, we had a private cabin so all felt safe. The annoying men callling 'chai, chai' eventually stopped, and i put in my earplugs that i pinched off the plane so got a fair nights sleep! So Varanasi...its fairly like Delhi except there were les...
