SIN to NAN
I could have gone into some more detail on the hostel, and why it wasn’t great. Mostly it’s just cramped; more beds crammed into the dorms than is sensible for allowing people to move around. My actual bed was fine, with a light & power outlets & a curtain, but it was also the top…

BKK to SIN
Slept pretty well at the hostel in Bangkok, and got to the airport in plenty of time for the flight to Singapore. I’d assumed that I’d need to get a Grab or Taxi or something, but the hostel had a ride option, which turned out to be “hostel owner drives you there”, at around the…

More Rain, More Gardens, And Some Clouds
A bit of a slow start, but that seems to be a feature these days. I was eventually driven out of bed by a message from the hotel asking if I wanted my room tidied up today, so I had to get all of the crap I was storing next to my bed out of…

What A Lot Of Rain
It was a good day, even though it didn’t go to plan, and I suspect had some of my favourite moments of the trip so far;
