Hello everybody
At last, internet access at a reasonable speed and time to write a blog.
A lot has happened since the last entry. We left the beautiful island of Lanta Noi and went to Penang by bus (well, several buses). We got to Georgetown on Penang Island at 9.30pm, much later than scheduled, and got dropped off in a not very salubrious area. After checking out some hostels, we decided they were so grotty that we went to a really nice hotel for the next four nights and went out seeing the beautiful sights.
Next stage was the overnight bus to Singapore, a long, tiring, uncomfortable trip really, but cheap. Once at the bus station in Singapore, Pat decided to return to the UK so I just stayed the one night in Singapore and am now in Alice Springs.
When I arrived yesterday it was very hot, but there was a MASSIVE storm early this morning and it has cooled down a bit now. I am off into the main part of town in a moment to have a look round. Tomorrow I start the Red Rock Centre tour (pick-up at 6.30am) which looks lovely, but I can only take a small bag for the 5 days so must sort out all my stuff tonight and only take "essentials". It may end up the same as the Longji rice terraces in China, where I pretty much stayed in the same clothes for 3 days as we only had small bags with us. Never mind - everyone on the tour will be in the same situation.
So, lots of love to everyone. I won't have computer access again until back from the tour but I'll do an update then.
