Its been a while since our last update so there's a lot to get through. In battambang, Cambodia we hired a scooter and went with a guide along some seriously dusty roads, to visit some local temples. But first we went to the local railway and used a Bamboo train, bikes and all. These looked like they were knocked together in someone's shed using homemade train track wheels and axles, some bamboo sticks and whatever else they could find! Then stuck an old engine ...

We've heard on the grape vine that some one reads this blog at Brownies, so a special hello to Catherine, all the Brownies and the leaders. We hope the Pancake making and decorating went well and your all working hard for your badges. Last week we ate at a nice restaurant and ordered what was on special that day, Pork curry.

The last you heard from us we were about to go on a day abseiling and canyoning. Well it was a fantastic but very scary day.

The roads are scary at the best of times, let a...

Firstly we went trekking in Sapa for 2 days and stayed with a local family. That was so exhausting that we were glad it was only for the 2 days, but it was so beautiful that it was worth it. The trek took us all through the rice paddies and very local villages. The sleeping trains a...
