Hello from Hong Kong! Simon and I left Thailand at the weekend and flew to Hong Kong on a 3 hour flight, getting in to Hong Kong on Sunday evening. Our hotel is very nice, although we quickly realised that Hong Kong is an expensive place to visit (although our HK friends would disagree!), which doesn't make it a great final stop as by now we've spent loads! Since getting here we've visited Stanley, an upmarket village by the beach with a touristy market; we g...

Hey everyone! Si and I are now in Ko Samui, after meeting up with our friend Tara in Bangkok. After going out for dinner at the interestingly named "Cabbages and Condoms" (which was actually really nice!) we headed back to Tara's hotel with her, only to find our driver had no idea where he was going and couldn't speak a word of English.

Before leaving India, we visited Varanasi, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, being about 3,000 years old. It's on the river Ganges, and...

Following a six hour car journey from Mandawa, we arrived to the hustle and bustle that is New Delhi. We picked up Simon's replacement credit card (thanks Sue!) and got our flights organised for our trip to Bangkok on Saturday, which is still looking dodgy but the foreign office say it's ok! We said goodbye to our driver Kuldeep at New Delhi Railway Station where he dropped us off, and gave him a hefty tip to maintain his good opinion of British people (since ...
