2014 was quite a year for us. It saw us backpacking around Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, an absolutely fabulous experience that took us up and down the length of Vietnam, through the 1000 Island region of southern Laos and over to Siem Reap in Cambodia to the amazing Angkor Wat and many of its surrounding temples.
In March, we sailed up to Phuket in Thailand visiting the beautiful karsts in Phang Nga Bay up the eastern coast before returning back to Malaysia. Next we headed over the South China Sea to Borneo where we rounded the entire northern coastline of Sarawak and Saba before venturing back into Indonesian waters, turning southwest back across the Java Sea to Central Java where we've now stopped to do a refit aboard Calypso and top up the cruising kitty a little.
Christmas will be a little different this year as Indonesia is primarily a Muslim country. Despite this, there are sufficient Christians to justify a fair display of Christmas decorations and as the government here is very tolerant of all religions, it will be celebrated as a public holiday.
We, the crew of the good ship Calypso, would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and everything of the best for the forthcoming New Year.
