Phuket Diving
On the last few times, I’ve enjoyed diving the clear and warm waters in Phuket. The first time I dived in Thailand was at Racha Yai, the water visibility was around 20 meters and the second time was at Phi Phi island where the water wasn’t as clear, but this can depend on many factors …
Shooting in Phuket
The gun laws are very relaxed in Thailand and there are many places to shoot a gun in Phuket. Jungceylon has its own range, however it’s small and the choice of guns is mainly limited to hand guns. This time we took a taxi to Kathu Shooting range, they have a few more guns to …
Moulin Rose, Ladyboy Show
A friend of ours previously went to the Moulin Rose show and said it was fantastic, so we decided to see for ourselves. It’s located just off Banglar Road, down the end of a alley. The show cost 250 baht (about $8 Australian) which includes a free cocktail. It’s very funny and there is a …
Melbourne to KL (Air Asia)
It was our first trip on a budget airline and it started without a hitch. Boarding was on time and the flight wasn’t too full which was a bonus. Poor John didn’t pre-book his luggage and was hit with a fee of $60 for 15 kg which he wasn’t happy with. The seats aren’t too …

Warner Brothers Studios, Venice Beach and Malibu
A Warner Brothers studio tour was on the agenda today, we booked it the night before and lucky, because most of the tours were already full. The drive to Burbank was a long one due to the traffic in LA as we were traveling in peak hour. The tour started with a short movie of …

Santa Barbara and Los Angeles
We arrived at our hotel in Goleta, a neighboring city of Santa Barbara, for our next night stay. We were pretty disappointed with the place (it was old, dirty and miles from anything worth seeing), but as it was only for one night we sucked it up and got on with things. We headed into …
Monterey to Santa Barbara
Originally we thought of stopping about halfway between Monterey and Santa Barbara, but in the end, we just couldn’t decided on where to stay, so we ended up driving the entire 4 hours. On the way we stopped at Carmel-by-the-Sea, often called simply Carmel. It is a small city in Monterey County, California, founded in …
