Hi everyone
Its been an awesome few days in Singapore...a few words to describe: hot, busy, clean, efficient and effortlessly cool. Although we've struggled with jetlag these last few days, this city has been a very soft landing into Asia. Everyone is really friendly and English is widely spoken. We've explored most of the city, by foot, metro and taxi. Had some awesome meals, sampling the amazing blend of Indian, Chinese and Malay food. Our hotel is in the Little India district, so its a really authentic experience everytime we step out of it!
We've visited most of the major sights, with the highlights being the National History museum and an amazing early morning in the beautiful botanic gardens. Last night, we had cocktails on the cool rooftop bar of Ku De Ta at the top of the Marina Sands resort. The views are second to none, totally rivalling New York's empire state. Tonight, we strolled along Clarke Quay and then had the local speciality, Chilli and black pepper crab! unbelievable! Tomorrow we catch a flight to Krabi in Thailand, for 10 days of beaching and relaxing. Hopefully, we wont be waking up at 5am soon!
More news and pics soon.xxxx

Hello from Cyprus
Hi all,
So we've been in Andrea's motherland since the 23rd December. We're headed back to London on the 18th, and we'll be ready to kick start our adventure on the 23rd Jan.
Cyprus has been a non-stop eating frenzy...lounza, halloumi, souvla and lots of baklava! had a great family Christmas and some very relaxing down time in the village. We also spent a few nights up in the Troodos mountains and enjoyed some heavy snow. Its a pretty weird feeling now to think that people are back at work and getting on with 2012, and we're just about to get started!
Hope everyone had a blessed festive season. I will post a few cyprus pics soon!
