Camping by the South China Sea



Highlights of our weekend camping at Anawangin Cove by the South China Sea. Sleeping out under the stars in Europe was never quite like this. It's definitely more fun in the Philippines, especially when you're lucky enough to have Jo, Toni and Jacky on hand to look after you!

Dragon Breath Ice Cream



The bank holiday on May 1 gave me the opportunity to explore a few new places of interest in Manila that I hadn't yet come across. 

My day with Jacky and Jo began at Cubao Farmers' Market and ended with a Jeepney ride around UP campus, with an incredible smoking Dragon Breath ice cream sandwiched firmly in between.

Malaysia Day 7 - The NoodLe Guy



Not far from the rather obscure train station of Taman Bahagia on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, we chanced upon a street food vendor with a difference. 

Check out the NoodLe Guy for some impressive culinary acrobatics, far more impressive and productive than the senseless bottle spinning performed by show-offs behind the bar at TGiF. 

This guy is without doubt the real deal & his noodles were delicious too.

Malaysia Day 6 - Cameron Highlands



One of our most enjoyable days in Malaysia was a trip to the Cameron Highlands, incorporating tea plantations, strawberry picking and the sampling of some delicious exotic fruits such as purple dragon fruits and sea coconuts which are grown only in the jungle.
