alot of things

Well the last few days have been rather packed. We left our wonderful accommodation in koh phangan, thailand to go to the more touristy phuket. Leaving our little appartment in koh phangan ended up being a bit sad, and i'll be honest and say i nearly shed a tear, as we had to say goodbye to mr and mrs T and their kid john who we had grown rather friendly with. they did however give us free thailand football shirts with the name of their resort printed on the back which was really sweet of them. Any way we headed off for phuket on a ferry which was literally a boat with a huge bed for all the passengers to share. There was very little room so everyone was touching the persons either side of them. I drew the short straw and was sandwiched between will and a random girl who felt obliged to stare at me as i slept causing me quite alot of distress when i would wake up staring into her eyes our foreheads basically touching!!
anyway after a sleepless night we arrived in phuket where we walked around, stayed on a beach and went to a market. We also had to book our travel down to kuala lumpur and singapore. This is when we realised that things would get quite packed. We ended up getting a flight to kuala lumpur, stay there for one night ( or maybe 2 i can't remember) and then fly to singapore for one night. Kuala Lumpur ended up baing like a more developed and nicer version of thailand so the time we spent there was very enjoyable. The most memorable things were going up the 4th largest tower in the world and seeing the amazing view and having random groups of girls coming up to us and asking for us to have pictures with them. This was very amusing but slightly disturbing and uncomfortable as they did like to get rather close!!
We also had a cracking time in singapore despite it being only for 2 days. The first day we went on the singapore flyer which is the largest wheel in the world i think. This was pretty cool and the views we saw were amazing. There was the sea and skyscrapers and really nice modern buildings and stuff like that ( you had to be there really). Then we went on the formula 1 race circuit which was an experience. We got some rather good pictures. In the evening we went to the waterfront where there was a band playing who were pretty good. There was also an old man who thought it was a good idea to stand at the front by the band and dance towards the audience in a classic 'embarrasing grandad' style. That had to be one of the funniest moment of my life and i don't often say that! i did however feel very embarressed for his family as i would probably have jumped into the sea with alot of weights strapped to me or turned so red that i would've exploded. The next day we decided to go on a cable car to an island just off singapore called sentoser. This seemed like a good idea but when we got up the mountain to the cable car station there was a thunderstorm which was very dramatic as we were basically surrounded by metal so lightning was cracking all around us! the storm did pass over and we did go to sentoser and sat on the beach and had a nice time. In that evening we had our flight to cairns.
The plane was very small and had no tv or anything so entertainment was at a minimum an it was pretty uncomfotable so sleep was also to a minimum! And that leads me to this morning when we got to cairns and the weather has been perfect! In cairns there are no beaches and your not allowed in the sea so instead they have public swimming pools which are very nice. I think you call them horizon pools or something as when you are in them it looks like you are in the sea or something like that. But best of all is the australian accent! i am sat in an internet cafe and there is a little australian boy talking all australian and i can't help smiling! its so funny! i think tonight i shall perfect my australian accent and embrace the culture as much as possible!
We are currently in a youth hostel but the fun really begins in 3 days when we get our campervans! can't wait!!
