Flying home from Thailand we had a few days stopover in Maylasia which gave us time to explore Kuala Lumpur.
We stayed at the Elephant Nature Park just outside of Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand.
In 2009 we took Kyra and Mykala on their first overseas holiday to Phuket in Thailand. We stayed at the Sheraton Grande Laguna in Bang Tao, and it was the most amazing family holiday.
We started our holiday in Phuket and stayed at Thavorn which had a beautiful meandering lagoon pool, and the place of the great turtle incident of 2018 : )
The cruise disembarked back in Singapore where we visited the International Motor Show, the Singapore Zoo, and Santosa Island.
This was our second stop over in KL so we visited the Petronas Twin Towers and looked through some of the older parts of the city.
After leaving Phuket, the ship docked on the Island of Langkawi in Malaysia where we spent the day on the beautiful beaches.
After a quick stop over in Kuala Lumpur, we cruised through the Straits of Malacca to Phuket, where we took the little Tender boats ashore and headed to the old Phuket Town.
We flew to Singapore and boarded the Superstar Virgo for a cruise through the Straits of Malacca.
The final stop on our 8 month trip around the world was Phuket, where we relaxed and reflected on the most amazing adventure that we could have ever imagined.
We caught a ferry across to Phi Phi Island and stayed in the most beautiful little beach front bungalow where we adopted a couple of kittens.
We travelled down south to Surat Thani and Khao Sok National Park, where we stayed in a jungle treehouse, and floating raft houses on a lake.
We took another overnight train from Chiang Mai back down to Bangkok where we experienced the floating markets, and the River Kwai at Kanchanaburi.
We flew from Beijing to Bangkok and then took an overnight train north to Chiang Mai. We then went on a jungle hike for a few days up near the border of Burma.
Another overnight train from Xi’an to Beijing and a visit to the Forbidden City and The Great Wall.
We caught an overnight train from Chengdu to Xi’an to see the ancient walled city, and to visit the site of the Terracotta Warriors.
Chengdu in Southern China was all about the Panda Research Centre.
Having the privilege of visiting Tibet was the highlight of our whole 8 month trip. The scenery and especially the people were amazing.
After leaving Africa, we had to stop in at Hong Kong to collect our travel visa for Tibet from the embassy.
We finished off our honeymoon with a stop over in Singapore before returning home.
After the Maldives it was back to Sri Lanka to see a bit more of the country and a visit to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.
Male, the Capital of the Maldives. This is where we flew in and out of, and we took speed boats to get out to the other islands.
The white Sandy beaches of the Maldives were absolutely stunning. Our overwater bungalow was the perfect place to relax and take in the magnificent scenery of blue skies, turquoise waters, and white sand.
Our first stop on our honeymoon was to Sri Lanka, where we stayed in the capital city of Colombo. It was just a short stay, but we would return again after the Maldives.
A flight to the island of Lombok, and a dodgy and rough ferry ride back. Lombok had stunning beaches and was very unspoiled by tourism.
Our first overseas holiday was to the island of Bali in Indonesia. Little did we know it would be the start of a lifetime of travel for us.
