The flight from Laos was long but ok, our flight from Vientiane got changed by 2 hours and no one informed us but they did upgrade us to business class for our honeymoon- first time ever and such a shame it was only a 45 minute leg of the flight!!! We arrived to sunny capetown and were immediately surprised to see the townships flanking the roads on the way into town. It was crazy to see such poverty so close to the city and really didn't sit right to know these...

The trip to Vientiane was much more pleasant than the last one- roads weren't so windy this time thank goodness! Got a tuk tuk to our hotel (Vientiane garden hotel, really nice!) they have us a choice of rooms because it was our honeymoon! We then went for a walk into town, bumped into the kiwi couple again so another quick hello. Tried to sort out some postage and banking bit nothing open past 4pm so instead went to Pha that luang temple was pretty nice, all pai...

The bus ride to vang vien- hell!!!! It was beautiful scenery through the mountains but no good for motion sickness! Managed to no spew (phew) but came very close a couple of times!

We flew to Luang Prabang in Laos- that was an interesting flight! the plane was tiny (it had propellers!) but only about 25 of us on it (there were lots of spare seats though). Flight was fine though, we landed at a teeny tiny airport and walked off the plane to the terminal. We got a tuk tuk into town and headed to our guesthouse. it was ok pretty good. We walked around town, went to the museum then went to find a pub to see the Anzac footy game. On the way t...

We had a fairly ok bus ride to siem reap, nothing exciting to report. We arrived to the most beautiful hotel called the landing point hotel. It was really new and a boutique hotel. They upgraded us to a massive and beautiful room and had flowers on the bed spelling out 'I love you' and swans made out of towels, and petals in the bath tub. If anyone goes to siem reap let us know they gave us a discount for it to pass on, it was fantastic!!!!! We walked into town a...
