Perhentian - Late Update (12/11/05)
This is a late addition cos we forgot to add it in. We had a really great time here!
We stayed in a beach side bungalow where the monkey climbed on the roof, the coconuts dropped in the sand and fruit bats flew from the trees.

Our highlight here was the snorkelling. It was unbelievable! Our hands pointed madly at all the fish we could see. Nats tried to speak through her snorkell tube, she was so excited - not the easiest thing to do and resulted in frequent gulps of sea water - do'h! There were little Nemo's (clown fish), Needlefish, Damsel fish, Angel fish, Parrot fish, Reef sharks and loads of others that we couldn't identify. Turtles are common there but despite swimming out to the feeding platforms we didn't see any.

The island was beautiful and very relaxed - a real tropical paradise island. We loved it here!

Singapore - tick, Oz next!
Hi there Blog watchers! How are you all? We are tired, packing up again and ready to hit the road - well the air actually! We've not had the best sleep in the last couple of days as we've had a bed that collapses in the night, one thats made of sponge that you sink into, and a swaying bed suspended above Malaysians on the night train. The room is still swinging 24 hours later from that one!!

We've pulled our trip forward and are heading to Oz tonight - woo woo woooo. We are both quite surprised as before neither of us were that excited about doing Oz but now we reallly are. We intended to spend 4 weeks in Malaysia but have done all the things we planned in 2 weeks. Due to our budget being low we decided to cut our losses and go (i'm a poet and I don't know it!).

We'll blog more from Darwin once we've done our Kakadu 4 day outback camping trip!!!! Bring it on!

Hey, sounds like you guys are having a great time. I'm trying not to be envious though. This week it was 22 deg in Cambrigde, but the clocks will soon go back and the dreary winter will nights begin to set in. Depressing huh! Enjoy Australia and say hello to Bruce and Sheila for me.
Loads a love
Phil

We just said goodbye to some Aussies. We managed not to mention the cricket more than a couple of times daily. Watch out for crocs camping by your billabong! Like the pics - G'day. Jerry & Claire, H&L xxxx
