We spent our last week in Vietnam visiting Halong Bay and Sapa. Halong Bay had a strangely mystical feel about it with it's green waters and limestone islands towering over us. There were 1969 islands altogether, some lived on and some so small that you could walk from end to end in a few short steps. The locals have names for all the islands depending on what they look like or something that has happened on them in the past. One island's called the fighting c***...

We arrived in Bangkok and felt as though we had stepped forward in time. The city was so well layed out and simple to get around. The trains were as good, if not better than the rail network at home which was really fortunate as we had done little to no research on where to go in Bangkok. We debated staying a night in Bangkok but decided that we were on a role now so we may as well carry on up to Chiang Mai. We booked our train tickets to go up to Chiang Mai that...

We found some cheap accommodation down a back street alley which felt like luxuary after some of the places we had stayed...

What an incredible week. We were so sad to be leaving Pedang Pedang but unfortunately our visas were running out so it was time to move on.

We arrived a few days ago in the most wonderful location of Pedang Pedang. It consists of a village built into the cliffs with stunning bays dotted along a few KM coastline. I have been told it has some of the best waves in the world here so it attracts surfers from all corners of the earth to claim they have surfed Pedang Pedang. In the the last couple of weeks we spent a few more days in Gili T, made our way over to Kuta Lombok and finally found our selves, af...
