Kuala Lumpur So Thailand refused our visa extension, so we got a cheap flight to Kuala Lumpur and back to Phuket then we get a 30 day visa. We where up at silly o'clock today to get to Bangkok airport for our flight to Kuala Lumpur, when we left the weather was OK but by the time we got to the airport it was pouring with rain and blowing a gale, it's the same every time we fly.

We decided to go with a tuk tuk rather than a car, cos it's more fun and cheaper!

We did go very far up in the mountains and then on the way back down to Luang Prabang the road never straightened out really. It snaked all the way up...

Ho Chi Minh City/Saigon Hi All This update is a bit late but we are a bit behind with the blog (and diaries!) and are struggling to find time to update it, but we will continue to do our best and find the time in our hectic schedule! Ho Chi Minh City is a very busy and noisy place. There are thousands of mopeds and they drive like maniacs – it was very scary crossing the roads so you wait for a local and follow them! Our hostel was located in a back alley ...
