When I first went travelling an Internet connection was not too common, a working Internet connection even less so but here I am in a (reasonably) remote part of borneo typing this in a cafe on an iPad!

Island hopping in Thailand

Posted by & filed under Thailand 2012.

The last week or so has been fantastic, beautiful weather, pretty islands, relaxing beaches and great diving.

Revelation: Lava is hot

Posted by & filed under Central America 2009.
