Kate says.....
Ever feel like it is all getting a little too much, when backpacking around Asia. My personal world travel tip would be to take time out, ditch the travel guide book and once in a while, go to a 5-star hotel and just sit and have a drink in the bar.
It is likely to set you back about £3-£5 ($10), but this is the cost of your sanity. Never mind, whether you look like a backpacker – these hotels will greet you like royalty and the air-conditioned, soft themed, clean and pleasant smell is an oasis in your travels.

Blue Mountains Sydney Australia
So many people miss the Blue Mountains on a trip to Sydney – it is only about 60 minutes drive from the centre. There are plentiful companies willing to do day trips here too and many leave from circular quay. The highlights of the tour are clearly the 3 sisters, and our world travel tip would be to ensure you see them at dusk if possible.
There is a very interesting aboriginal legend that there was a major tribal battle surrounding three sisters who lived in the Jamison valley. To protect them, a witchdoctor turned the sisters into stone. He then passed away, and the sisters were unable to be returned to their former beauty, and therefore, they remain in magnificent rock formation for future generations to see.

World Travel Tips
Goa Travel is sublime
India as a rule is a hard place to travel around but if you can make it through to Goa the rewards are bountiful.
I recommend the beautiful bay of Palolem, film goers would recommend the beach as the bay shown in the opening of The Bourne Supremacy, which Matt Damon runs around. The bay is host to many huts on stilts for around £2-4 a night. There are various bars and a club located right on the water’s edge with Monkey Island looming in the background it truly is Paradise.
For tranquility, ensure you sip a cold beer and watch the sun set over the Islands; it is truly sublime!
World Travel in Australia
We went to Monkey Mia - just north of Perth. It is a truly beautiful untouched place to visit. It takes a full day to get there, so we recommend staying over.
Monkey Mia is famous for their dolphins; they are not shy and will come right up to you for food, in the sea. The pelicans are also over friendly, and won’t leave you alone. This is our chosen place of the moment, and the staff certainly take care of the interests of the dolphins. Only 4 / 5 are fed on each visit, and a very small amount, to encourage the dolphins to continue to hunt for themselves.
We also went on a catamaran whilst there, with netting tied to the back which everyone sat in and were pulled through the sea at high speeds - great fun, but hold onto that bikini, you may never see it again. Accommodation is available at both Coral Bay, and Denham which are not too far away. This is definitely worth a trip and 100% more beautiful than any travel guide book.
