We were up at an hour even the ubiquitous sparrows would have raised a sleepy eyebrow at to catch an early ferry over to Gozo with the intention of watching the sunrise from Malta's smaller sister. Yeah nah so that wasn't going to happen. As we sat in the small queue of cars to board [...]
We fully intended to walk every inch of Comino today, the tiny, car-free island between Malta and Gozo, but it seemed the ferries weren't running, possibly on account of the fact the winds of the other day had started up again. We got to the ferry terminal (the Gozo one is obvious) and were directed [...]
The diving gods must have been smiling on me when I booked my day of diving a few weeks ago. Yesterday the winds were so bad there would have been no way to safely enter and exit the water but today was beautiful and calm with not a cloud in the sky, though I was [...]
Today we'd be heading to the ฤฆal Saflieni Hypogeum and we figured we'd get a bus to save us dicking around with parking. As we loitered outside waiting for it to open, periodically wiping the grit from our eyes that the brutal fucking winds sweeping across the island kept depositing in there, Tarrant asked, "What [...]
We chose Malta before we researched it on account of it being really fucking tiny. Seriously, you could stand on one side and spit to the other. I mean, don't, because that would be gross. But you could. We wanted an entire country that we could potentially see in a week and given that the [...]
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 [...]
The first national park we decided to check out for our ten day Sarawak NP Extravaganza was Kubah, home of palms and frogs apparently, which left us in no doubt on what to expect. We figured we might as well throw ourselves right into a trail or two as soon as we got to there, [...]
I fucking hate cooking and cooking hates me. We used to have this death-oven that served as the gateway to hell itself if the jacket potatoes I tried cooking to Google's specification are anything to go by. I ended up with a flat full of smoke and two black cannonballs instead of two perfectly baked [...]
There are a metric fuck tonne of stuff and things to apply liberally to your eyeholes around Kuching and we'd rented a scooter to go and do just that. There are a couple of caves they reckon are about a half hour drive from the city but try telling that to our scooter. It took [...]
