Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam 29th October 2012 Xin Chao everyone, we arrived safely in Vietnam's 2nd City, Ho Chi Minh in good time after an excellent bus journey across the border from Cambodia. I'm talking a/c, good leg room, food stops, free snacks provided, drinking water & smoothish roads! The tour guide on our bus was living a few doors down from our guesthouse so she showed us where we were staying & it's a good job she did. We would...

Saturday 27th October So we ended up spending 4 days in Sihanoukville as we were a little bit poorly. It sucked as we were both really ill and barely left the room the whole time except to go on a water run. Only news was we went out for an awesome meal on the last night at New Sea View Villa.

We booked a return boat transfer to an island called Koh Rong for tomorrow morning. It's an open return so we can spend as...

Monday 15th October Hello again, this time from Cambodia! With WiFi everywhere now it feels as though we are in touch more often than we were at home!

We crossed the border with no problems, we paid $2 extra on our visa fee & they didn't even need to see us, we just waited while the guide did the rest! The ...

Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands), Laos Saturday 13th October So here we are, our final blog from Laos L. The 'sleeper' bus as it's known over here was a terrible & at times terrifying experience! We & 6 other travellers were picked up in Vientiane, the driver pulled away before Carly even sat down so it was very nearly a trip to A&E instead. We headed first to the North bus station then to the South (where we were headed). We arrived at the...
