SilkAir was fine for a short haul flight before grabbing a cab to the city. Wow Singapore you are a stunning city. Quite westernised after our recent experiences. We arrived at our hostel which was right on Boat Quay; a fantastic location in the heart of the city. A beer was called for and it was a shock to pay $8 instead of 50 cents. Josh was keen to try the Alaska King Crab but at SGD230 per kilo we ended up having a much smaller and cheaper crab in China T...

Firstly, apologies on the typos and grammar in my blogs. A little tricky when writing on my phone! Another day, another flight with Air Asia. Just as well we weren't going from Australia! Very uneventful apart from the two hour wait in line to get our VISA exemption back into Thailand. We made a good choice of accommodation this time in Bangkok, right next to the metro and train station heading south. We have now classed ourselves as flashpackers, as opposed to ...

The VIP bus was pretty good with air con and loads of stops, so the six hours went quite fast. As usual we got off the bus and were immediately surrounded by tuk-tuk drivers eager to take us to our hotel. We had an early night after venturing to 'Pub Street', which is what you can imagine is a street full of pubs. It was not as hectic as other similar places we had been to in Asia and we are really starting to notice the lack of tourists, been off season. The on...

Our bus to Phnom Penh ended up being a car which was great as we must have been the only ones travelling that day. That's the good thing about travelling in low season. We did end up having to pay a bit extra as they tried to drop us off on the outskirts of town instead of the agreed place. Typical. We spent the afternoon at the Cambodia National Museum then arranged a tuk-tuk driver for the next day. Phnom Penh is not a terribly exciting city which we were expe...

We took the easiest, best ferry ever from Phu Quoc Island to the mainland, Ha Tien. It was then a wait around for a few hours doing nothing much at all, as Ha Tien is not terribly exciting. A 90-year-old woman then took us in her van and drove like a 100-year-old through the border to Kampot in Cambodia. I say drove, but as we were about to set off she said first of all no air con. as she had a dodgy battery and then she discovered a flat tyre. So off back to wa...
