Our final Sarawak national park was to be Bako which is probably the most popular of the lot despite it being an absolute ball ache to get to. You can't just nip there, you can only get in and out by boat but despite this you'll still need to think about booking your accommodation several [...]
Mount Santubong is the big, pointy mountain that you can't fucking miss as you ride into Santubong unless you've had your eyes gouged out by an angry macaque because you refused to hand over your crisps. It looks steep. It is steep. I don't know why we thought we were in any manner of physical [...]
There are pros and cons to visiting waterfalls in the wet season. On one hand you know there'll be water in those bad boys. We're not talking a trickle, I mean there'll be full on gushing torrents of H2O. They will be awesome in the genuine sense of the word and not in the way [...]
We headed to Ubud with Candi and John, two humans staying in our hotel in Lovina who we'd befriended, and when you first arrive in Ubud after you've been relaxing on the beach or in the hills, all of your basic motor functions get scared and suddenly you don't want to stay in a hostel [...]

Love it less when you're trying to catch a bus there from Probolinggo when you've read that they'll [...]
If you want to wrap your eyeballs around Gunung Bromo you'll need to get to Cemoro Lawang which is easy as far as Probolinggo. Getting there is a piece of piss. It's once you're there when things start going tits up on account of the fact everyone is there to rip you off, I'd read [...]
There are two main tourist areas in Yogyakarta; Sosorowijayan in the north and Prawirotaman in the south, possibly because it's amusing to watch foreigners try and pronounce unfamiliar words of more than three syllables. The latter is the kind of place you'd want to stay if you'd been on the road for a while and [...]
We'd heard tell of a place in the hills called Dieng where it was a little bit cooler and the mere act of breathing wouldn't send your sweat glands into shock causing them to expel every drop of moisture from your system in a blind panic. Sounded wonderful. Sign me up. Getting there is a [...]
