In a few days
time we will start the longest drive of my life. We will leave Esperance, WA
and drive over 4,000km to Bundaberg, QLD. That’s the equivalent of driving from
London to Mumbai (but crossing one country instead of 12).
Things to do in Langkawi
Famed as the 'Jewel of Keddah', and Malaysia's tropical island paradise, Langkawi is made up of 104
islands spectacularly spread across a patch of the Andaman Sea (seriously, get
a window seat if you arrive by air).
While a destination of choice for local shoppers,
keen to make the most of the duty free, Langkawi is also popular among thrill
seekers especially water sports enthusiasts. Here are my tips for the best
things to do in Langkawi.
Exploring Penang, one work of street art at a time
I wasn’t really
sure what to expect of Penang. I knew of Georgetown’s UNESCO heritage listing
so expected the town to feature historic elements, low buildings, that sort of
thing, and I had heard good things about the food, and that there was some
street art. What I didn’t realise was that the walls of Georgetown are a canvas
for street artists, and just about every street corner provides a fascinating
insight into life in Penang.
Australia, the next chapter - Farewell Esperance
The start of this
new year has been especially exciting for us because 2015 will be
a year of big change for my partner and me. We have been living in Western
Australia for almost four years but this year (next month, no less!) we are
moving to Queensland.
The Tomb of Khai Dinh, a tomb with a view
Being
the home of Vietnam’s imperial history, Hue boasts several impressive tombs.
Sounds a bit morbid, but if you haven’t seen an Asian tomb, you should. They
are very impressive places!
