Indonesia – Kuta Beach & Ubud…
Kuta Beach. World famous. Apparently. I didn't dig it. It was like the location for a "brits abroad" reality show on 'Dave' but starring Aussies. Not very relaxing. I was offered the usual "massages" then…
Indonesia – Fish Heads and Rice…
The nice parts of Singapore - the Zoo, the coffee shops, the air con and the bad parts - the hospitals, quickly became a distant memory as we took a 45 min ferry to Bintan…
Singapore – Lance Armstrong…
The impending abscess impended, arrived and went bad. Arriving in Singapore and with no response to anti-bios I went to the wrong Raffles (the hospital not the hotel) and sought further advice. £15 to see…

Thailand – Massage Follow Up…
So - I thought I'd save pennies by getting my next fish massage in nature, al fresco and from wild fish. You can just see one of them here...(PS : I LOVE my waterproof camera!)…
Thailand – Massage and Fish…
So - I had a massage in Thailand. In fact I had 2. Not the weird, oily, naked kind you might expect of a young (ahem, ok young-ish), single man. Instead I went for a…
Thailand – Koh Samui…
Very pretty. Couple of pics : Not a lot to do as it's expensive to do any activities - the island is really geared up to 5 * luxury. You could have a great time…
