This travelogue is for a trip taken December 22, 2000 - February 10, 2001
to the South Atlantic Islands of St. Helena and Tristan da Cunha, as well as
parts of Malaysia, Singapore, Pulau Bintan (Indonesia), Cape Town (South
Africa) and a sail-by of Gough Island.
The opinions expressed within are my own, and the information is subject
to change with the passage of time.
Rates quoted are in the local currency of the country being discussed,
though often the US$ equivalent is also noted. The approximate exchange
rates in effect during my trip were as follows (for one US$):
Malaysian Ringgit: 3.80
South African Rand: 7.50 - 7.90
St. Helena Pound: 0.68
Tristan da Cunha: 0.68
Note: the St. Helena Pound is tied to the British Pound, and the
British Pound is used on Tristan da Cunha and on the RMS St. Helena.
