Perth is a beautiful, clean city!  Charmaine and I went to the Mint for High Tea, saw the bell tower, took a ferry, walked around in Kings Park and around the city, took a train and a bus!  Today we're going to watch the football and have a BBQ!

On Thursday I fly up to Broome for 4 days of R&R.

That's all for now!

Hema has been so supportive these last two weeks, I don't know what I would have done without her so this Blog is dedicated to her for her patience in listening to me rattle on and her supportive words of encouragement>

Thanks Hema, you're an ANGEL!

Next stop... PERTH!

The chef is the only one that will take your order so you have to keep an eye out for him (he's the one in the shorts, shirt and gumboots)!

We had the Clams, Prawns and Crab and it was in a word SUBLIME!  

So this message goes out to Hema, Michelle, Sam and the gorgeous little Sophia who took me out in Singapore for a great evening of great food!  Thank you ladies!

I have just arrived back in Singapore from Vietnam!  Mmmmm, Vietnam!  Honestly.... besides the beauty of Ha Long Bay I'm afraid it was a bit of a disaster!  It definitely hits the BOTTOM of my list of places to see in Asia.  The War Crimes Museum in Saigon was very interesting and definitely enlightening!  However, it did not make up for the near food poisoning in Hanoi OR the "local meal" my guide took me out for in Saigon which pretty much resulted in me staying in my hotel room for the rest of my stay!

But I'm back in Singapore which I LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Next stop!  PERTH, AUSTRALIA!

I can't believe I have finished my tours in Cambodia and Thailand and am heading on to Singapore!  In Singapore I am going to be spending time with friends.  Hema, Roisin, Bobby, etc.  It will be a pleasant break from 6am starts to go and see temples and jungle!

I have really enjoyed my time in Cambodia and Thailand but am looking forward to a little R&R, a little Spa time and chilling out with my friends.  Vietnam, which falls in the middle of my time in Singapore is sure to be a different experience.  I will be spending time in Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Saigon.  From there its back to Singapore and then on to Australia for 12 weeks!

I have still not figured out how to reduce the size of the photo's to make them "web friendly" so that I can add them to my blog but those of you that would like to see some of my photo's I have uploaded albums in Facebook.

That's all for now folks!
