We arrived in singapore at about 6pm. As soon as we got off of the plane the humidity really hit us. I have never felt heat like it! But then, seeing as it's on the equator, we really should have been prepared! Luckily for us we had an air conditioned dorm otherwise we would have been in trouble! After getting the bus into the city centre we headed for the hostel where we were met by Nisha and Sonal who are joining us for this leg of the journey - it was rea...

Well, this looks like it will be my last update from Oz as we're leaving for Singapore to meet sonal and nisha tomorrow. I really can't believe how quickly time has gone - we're had so much fun and done so many new things. We're currently in Cairns, not doing much on the whole except lazing around and catching up on sleep since giving back the van. We did do white water rafting on sunday though, which was amazing. I was really, really petrified on the bus in ...

Our escapades since my last update have included... Fraser Island Ah, what a place! We went on a 2 day safari tour from Hervey Bay to Fraser, leaving the camper van behind us for the night.

Hmm, anyway, the island is made entirely out of sand - i...

Hi guys, Another update within a week - aren't you lucky?! Well, the weather got progressively worse whilst we were in Surfers Paradise - I have never seen rain like it. Everything in the van got soaked, we had wet clothes everywhere and Liane's matress is starting to go mouldy! Nice stuff. Never fear though, it perked up whilst we were in Brisbane and armed with febreeze and some cleaning liquid, the van is back on track! So, Brisbane - we got there with ...

G'day from surfers paradise! Just to make you all feel better, the weather hasn't been that great today, but hopefully soon it'll brighten up. We've been here for 2 days and it's very different to what we have been used to - it's quite a tacky tourist resort but it has been nice to laze around again. Anyway, today we had a surfing lesson!! Oh it was a laugh. We got to get dressed up in wet suits which we all looked very good in (!) and had our own board. A...
