Into our third country on our itinerary, Cambodia. There's one reason that everybody comes to Cambodia and that is to see the magnificent "Angkor Wat" in Siem Reap. But we were saving this till last on our trip though "Campacia" (Cambodia) as the Khmer people call it. Phnom Penh was the first place we decided to visit after a pretty eventful 12 hour bus journey. Only 30 minutes from the border, to make things a lot easier at the crossing, the tour operator took a...

Next morning and time for some more kayaking, we'd never done so many river activities before and was starting get a little tired of the Mekong so agreed that this would be the last one. After capsizing on our last outing in the kayak on route to Vientiane, we was told there will be a few mild rapids to look out for on this trip, so we thought we'd be kind I'd prepared having already gone over before. But nothing would have prepared us for what actually happened ...

We headed out of Vientiane and south, all the way down to the Laos/Cambodian border, but not over the border just yet. Next was a couple of nights the very chilled out and laid back 4000 Islands, where the Mekong breaks up into thousands of tiny little Islands, hence the name. Upon arriving we was shifted around a number boats before finally arriving at our island "Don Det". We'd made friends with another couple from Manchester, Shaun and alex, and we found Mr.B'...

We only had the one day in Vientiene because we wanted to get down to the south as soon as possible and heard there wasn't really much to do here anyway. So it was goodbye to Vang Vein and the start of the kayaking journey down river towards Vientiene, which is the capital Laos. It seemed like the river didn't have much of a current, so the first thing we said to the elderly australian couple that were kayaking with us was that we didn't want to capsize and get w...

We had booked up a rock climbing excursion the day before and also to get us to our next destination, Vientiane, the capital of Laos, a 3hr kayaking trip that takes you half way, then a bus for the rest of the way. So an activity packed next few days. We had a good day ahead of us... rock climbing till the afternoon.... then..... TUBING WHHHHOOOHH!!!! We got to the rock formation where we'd be climbing for a good few hours, I personally was so exited to try it ou...
