Hey guys Last time I left off I was on the way to Ko Pha Ngan which is about a half hour boat ride from the main Island of Ko Samui. The Island itself was beautiful, with some lovely beach side bungalow resorts around the coast. But I didn't get a chance to stay in any of these as the Island was totally booked out due to it being Thai New Year and the full moon party both on the same day!

My last stop in Vietnam was Saigon where I managed to cram in a couple of tours in the three days I was there.

I've been over to HK Island on the famous Star Ferry and been on the tram that takes you to the highest peak in HK, fortuneatley it is a fairly clear day and the views were quite good. Also saw the QE2 Criuse Ship in HK Harbour today, it is absolutely massive! Anyway thi...
