Yogyakarta - Java - Indonesia July 9th - 12th, 2016 Apart from being 2 hours late and ridiculously cold due to excessive air con on the train, our 9 hour journey from Jakarta to Yogyakarta was pretty uneventful. The scenery outside the windows flashed past looking much like any other country in SE Asia, lots of rubbish and rice fields, apart from one very important difference...volcanoes!! Amongst the vast expanses of flat, even ground, occasionally a perfec...

Jakarta - Java - Indonesia July 6th - 9th, 2016 After a day spent flying from Siem Reap to Kuala Lumpur and then onwards to Jakarta, we were relieved to find that there was a bus we could take into town and from there a 2km walk to our hotel.

We had plenty of time here to look around, which was lucky becau...

Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam June 23rd - 27th, 2016 We spent the weekend attending the festival which was held at the Kim Do Royal Hotel, right in the centre of the city alongside a large pedestrianised street which was filled with people trying out the latest craze...hoverboards (like segways but without handles). We thoroughly enjoyed the festival, it being the most we've danced since leaving Melbourne and during our walks to and from the venue and our acco...
