The journey north through India took us next to the capital, Delhi, or Disgusting Delhi as we affectionately coined it. During the British Raj New Delhi was constructed - a fine mini city with wide tree lined streets, grand homes and offices. Unfortunately Old Delhi was left to rot and crumble and this area of the capital resembles how you would imagine medieval life, open-shop butchers, cattle and people living in piles of rubbish at the side of the road, dogs...

Incredible India! As the clouds parted on our descent to Mumbai airport, the mysterious land was revealed to us. Luxurious marble buildings surrounded by thousands of corrugated-iron shacks, clinging to mountain sides, rail tracks and river banks, some have even tumbled onto the airport runway! Haphazardly piled on top of one another like shoe boxes, the slums are a sight for sore eyes: welcome to India, the land of contrasts! Walking the streets of Mumbai is tr...

It felt as though we'd been skipping through countries at a fast pace, so we didn't plan to see too much of the country during our 8 days here, just enough to prevent travel boredom to set in! We lolled around in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, enjoying the freezing jets of air-con in the flashy shopping centres, and visiting swanky bars with sweeping views of the KL ...

The highlights of our visit were the Bayon, Tha Prom and iconic An...

Arriving in Hanoi in Vietnam was an experience in itself, only one word can truly describe it - mayhem. Both of us have never before witnessed such a cramped, congested, chaotic and bustling city. Mopeds whizzing past like swarms of wasps carrying 3 or 4 passengers, sometimes a sheet of glass, a lifesize portrait or even a few pigs, bound and gagged being driven to the slaughter house. We rode through the city to our hotel in silence, agog to what we were wi...
