Milton's Adventure

The past 12 days here in Kuala Lumpur have flown by, and we haven't really done a great deal. Although this isn't all our fault as there isn't a great deal to do here, as well as it being heavy rain a...

Singapore is like a woman with all the looks but none of the personality: the place has lots of skyscrapers along the harbour which gives the beautiful skyline you see on all the pictures, however apa...

The coach journey here to Penang went smoothly, well apart from being stopped in the middle of nowhere by 2 armed police in camo gear....turned out they just wanted to go through the motions and check...

One thing you can say about the Cameron Highlands is that they are not going to have a drought anytime soon, it has rained nonstop pretty much the whole time we have been here. It is warm, about 22 de...

Made it to Ipoh in Malaysia without too much trouble. Flight was fine, the usual no frills budget airline. Once in Kuala Lumpur we got an express bus from the airport to the central train station loca...

We’ve spent the past couple of days slowly making our way round more of the interesting places that Melbourne has to offer. Instead of getting the tram, we decided to enjoy the good weather and walk t...

So far so good in Melbourne, we are nearly halfway into our stay here and are slowly making our way through all the 'must see' things. Melbourne is much bigger than the cities I have visited so far in...

The time has gone to leave Adelaide, not sure where the last 4 weeks have gone but it has flown by. I've spent the weeks working in a couple of odd jobs, one day I worked with another lady putting Chr...

30 years old, I've made it to the grand old age of 30. Thank you to everyone for your Birthday wishes, I had a great day here in Adelaide, it was a bit different to previous birthdays I've had. It sta...

I've had a bit of work come through the past couple of weeks which has kept me busy here in Adelaide. I delivered leaflets for a couple of days with an aussie fellow, getting $50 each time. Also I wor...

Not much as happened the past couple of weeks, we are still in Adelaide and very poor, we have managed to get out a little though. Helen's friend (Mel) invited us around her parents house the other Su...

We're still in Adelaide, looking for work. The past few weeks have flown by and we haven't even had an interview for a job. Admittedly we haven't tried very hard to find work, we are both feeling a la...

The Adelaide Show is finally over. It has been an interesting 10 days and I have gone through a range of emotions: from excitement at the beginning, to confusion, then frustration, and finally annoyan...

Spent the past couple of weeks in Adelaide not doing very much really. The weather here is nice, the sunny days are very warm and there isn't much rain (considering it is winter). The city itself is r...

Collected the campervan with no problems, apparently they were out of the type of camper we booked so we were upgraded to a better one. This camper was much better than the one we used on the west coa...

All my travels so far have gone smoothly without any problems, so I thought I’d spice things up a bit and lose my bank card. I think I left it in an ATM while in Ubud. I’ve never lost anything like th...

Spent three nights last week in Granny’s Hostel. It was a small but fun place, staff were really friendly and I got to know quite a few fellow travellers while there. Most people were only staying one...

I arrived in Bali safe and sound, no problems getting through customs etc. no bag search just the usual scanners. I got to the airport at about 9am but couldn't check into my hotel until 2pm so just s...

I didn't realise it had been so long since my last post. I've haven't been on any more adventures since the west coast trip. Just been chilling around a mostly cold and wet Perth. I'm living in a hous...

Had an awesome trip up the West Coast, weather was great, seen loads of wildlife, run over some wildlife, and the campervan survived the whole trip with no major dramas. Had to do a lot of driving and...

Had a tough couple of weeks; no work, getting out of bed at 1/2 in the afternoon, bumming around the hostel. It's a tough life. As the weather hasn't been great (raining quite a lot) it means the thin...

Not much to report, haven't really been up to much the past couple of weeks. Just working and chilling around the hostel. Some good news though.... I finished work on Friday! Got a good send off and e...

Winter is here, shorts have been packed away and my hoody is out. It even rained all last weekend and as I have found out, when it is raining in Perth there is not a great deal to do. All those lovely...

I rented a car over the Easter weekend so managed to get out of Perth and have an action packed few days. About 18 of us from the hostel decided to go camping at Margaret River from Friday to Sunday....

I'm starting to get itchy feet now, I have done 6 weeks of work and have about 2 weeks left (although if asked I will stay for another couple of weeks in order to save a bit more money) but I feel I n...

It is Autumn now here in Perth and the weather has got distinctly cooler, it actually rained today! (the first rain I've seen since being here), the temperature on an average day is now 26/27 degrees...

Had a quiet couple of weeks. Just been working Monday to Friday, which is going very well so far - to be honest I haven't been given much work to do really, I wait for things to go wrong, then fix the...

Had an awesome long weekend, I rented a car for Sunday and Monday therefore managed to get out of the city for the first time. The weekend started as usual with Goon and drinking games Friday night in...

Life has slowed down a bit now, routine has kicked in. Monday to Friday is just working which just leaves the weekend for some fun. Watching the rugby at the casino last weekend was good, I went there...

Who has got a job? Me that's who! I got the IT job I mentioned in my last post. I started work on Monday, it is a two month contract and pays $25 (£13) an hour, which would be great money back home, b...

It has been a while since my last post, mainly because there hasn't been much going on. For the last couple of weeks I got into the routine of: night time drinking in the hostel (normally involving go...

New hostel is OK, there are many more people and has more of a party atmosphere than the last place, the air con is awesome and I have been able to sleep no problem. I'm booked in here until Tuesday a...

It was a mammoth struggle to get from the hotel to the hostel on Saturday, walking in the midday sun, 21kg bag on my back, 8kg rucksack on my front, all in my flip flops, it was nearly the end of me....

Hot. Dam hot. So dam hot. That's the first thing I have to say about Perth. I know what you're thinking, 'yes it's Australia it's going to be hot', 'everyone told you it was going to be hot', but hone...

I've made it!! Everything went smoothly, in fact it all went a little too smoothly and I feel as though immigration are going to kick down the door any time soon and announce I shouldn't be here. Got...

The countdown begins; I leave for Oz tomorrow morning at 10:55, decided to stay overnight in a Premier Inn just outside Heathrow, I didn't fancy getting stuck on the M25 in rush hour and end up missin...

  So the preparation begins. Got this site up and running, visa is ready, flight to Perth is booked for the 21st January, I finish work this Friday and the backpack has been dusted off in anticip...
