"Sabaidee" from Laos!! We arrived in Laos from Hanoi after an epic 20 hour bus journey. It started wit us being slightly late for our pick up from the Laos Embassy as a result the minibus was packed to the brim with only room for Becky to squeeze in among the bags. Charlotte was then whisked away on the back of a moped doing 70km/h along the main highway (which is insanely busy especially as it was rush hour!!)  After a slightly worrying 3...

Hello all! Sorry for late entry, we've only just managed to find a decent internet connection that will actually open our site! We have spent the last 2 and a half weeks travelling in Vietnam. We caught the bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) where we spent 2 nights and 1 full day. We didn't get to see a huge amount of Saigon but we did manage to visit the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum which were both really interesting. We also v...

We got off the bus as close to Khao San as we could get and within minutes we were covered head to toe, even our backpacks - they take no prisoners! A...

We arrived safe and sound in Singapore, our second country on our list. We were really sad to leave India but as soon as we got here we didn't look back. Singapore is amazing and sooo different to India! Firstly its spotlessly clean, its so modern and you don't get hassled at every corner - bliss! We stayed in a place called the Hangout which was a first hostel experience - we hope they are all like this. It was lovely here, you could still smell the fres...
