Hiya Finally in China and we're loving it! It was great to move on from Vietnam where you just get constant hassle from everyone as soon as you get out of the door, it wears you down after a while and we'd both had enough! It sounds harsh but the people aren't starving or unbearably poor there, most of the bamboo huts have satelite dishes, they just see tourists as walking cash machines and want to fleece every penny from you, rip off alert at every corner, it's...

Hi Everyone Well, we left Phnom Penh for Vietnam, decided to travel down the river again rather than bus, much nicer. Took a fast boat to Chau Doc, stopping en route to cross the border. The best boat trip so far, we actually had room on the boat with even some free seats!

Chiang Mai is a really nice city, it's the second biggest in Thailand but still only about the size of York. Ended up spending about 5 days there just wandering around the town and soaking it all up. Met some guys from Wolverhampton on...

Hello, hope your all enjoying the rain and snow in sunny old england! Arrived in Thailand after spending just under a week in OZ. Glad we weren't there too long, its bloody expensive. OZ was good for a week and gave us a chance to catch up with friends we met in south america and laura an old friend of nicolas from london. Left sydney after just 6 days for bangkok, arriving quite late. Decided to stay near to the airport for the first night, before travelling in...
