Ko Lanta We arrived in Thailand after an interesting journey! First we caught a ferry to Saturn, the onboard entertainment was a Thai film called Revenge of the Teeth - strangely about killer snakes! It was extremely gory and not exactly suitable for a morning ferry ride with loads of kids, however we loved it…especially the English subtitles, which were in some places hilariously wrong. We were actually gutted that we got to Saturn before the end of the fil...

Penang (Georgetown) We arrived in Georgetown, the main part of Penang Island after a 6 hour journey via minibus. We had managed to haggle down the price of the minibus from 70 Ringgit to 50 Ringgit. We are getting good at this haggling malarkey! We checked into our hostel which was really nice and had an ensuite shower, very posh! Our first night we headed to a massive food court called Red Dragon, it had around 40 food stalls plus entertainment (well a Malaysi...

Kuala Lumpur We decided when we woke up on 1st March that we would go to Kuala Lumpur that day, so left Singapore about lunchtime.

We were so knackered from all the travelling that we went to the food court next to our hostel then went to bed. The food court was amazingly cheap - we managed to get 2 curries with rice an...

Wellington Our coach trip started quite weirdly as our driver known as 'Nancy Boy' put on 'Its Raining Men' and did a very strange dance to it whilst driving the coach!!! Wellington is known as the Windy City and boy did it live up to its reputation. Didn't get to see much sunshine here accept for on the ferry over but we still really enjoyed Wellington. Our plan of being anti-sociable backfired as we ended up going to the hostel bar the first 2 nights we wer...
