Plastic trees in Dubai International Airport
Hilarious warning sign in Singapore. I didn't manage to get any of the Brunei / Indonesia signs showing trespassers being shot with assault rifles - although I did note that Indonesians shoot you in the front, whereas the Seria garrison guard force promised to shoot you in the back.
Raffles Hotel, Singapore. We didn't stay (£600 per night!)
Petronas Towers, KL. A must-have photo
The Cameron Highlands have a huge stock of Land Rovers. This ones door was held shut using string....
The Cameron Highlands Rose Garden
Jungle in the Cameron Highlands. I was particularly impressed by the safety rope preventing visitors falling several hundred feet.
Laura taking afternoon tea at the famous Boh tea plantation, again in the Cameron Highlands
The author. Taking tea.
Model of a traditional Malay house, built by the hotel manager
Classic dictatorship architecture in Jakarta. One dictator started it, the deposer finished it.
The Borobudur temple complex in Java. The largest Buddhist temple in the world. Raffles "discovered" it too....
More Buddhist temples.....
Afternoon tea at the Borobudur guesthouse we stayed at. First place we observed chit chats in significant numbers
Laura throwing pottery. Shortly after this photo was taken, I stood on the example piece (by accident).
Laura on a bike. Taken by the author (also on a bike, hence the face)
Laura inside a small temple. No Buddha here.
Quick western detour before taking the ferry to Bali.
A stray kitten that a tourist had rescued and taken back to our hotel in Lovina Beach, Bali.
Javan dance performance at the Ubud Palace, Bali.
Local Dali-type Catalan character's house. Odd.
More Ubud Palace (we stayed here)
Laura in the first palace we visited on our travels.
Laura trying to keep up whilst walking around the Ubud area. Shortly after this trip a local charged us £10 for a fresh coconut. Joker.
Tombstone termite mounds in the Northern Territory, Australia. Amazing.
Just to give you an idea of scale, I saw around ten times this many alongside the road we were using.
Laura in a rock pool.
Jumping crocs on the Adelaide River, Northern Territory
Traditional Australian beach wedding, prior to launch.
View from our Singapore hotel. The waterway is one of the multiple reservoirs the island maintains. You cannot trust those pesky Malaysians to send you water if they get grumpy, so it's all about self sufficiency.
Bruneian mosque in BSB.
BSB Istana. Another one is being built opposite for the Crown Prince.
Laura on Seria beach. Lots of non-deadly jellies washed up here.
Reading my Kindle on the mess veranda.
One of about five outbuildings at The Empire Hotel and Country Club. This is the one we stayed in.
The only decent restaurant in Brunei, according to the junior officers - Kaizen Sushi.
Bizarre photo in the Brunei Museum. I had to get Laura to pose.
