India..... I don't even know where to start. We left Bangkok flying with Indian Air express. The word express conjures up images of a speedy jet whizzing through the air. It was anything but. In fact, take off was so slow that I was worried we wouldn't make it into the sky. the ironic thing was the plane wasn't full and it transpired 21 bags didn;t make it to Calcutta so not sure what was weighing us down! We met a lovely boy on our flight called Joe. He is from ...

After departing Bangkok, We caught a night bus to Vientiane, the Capital of Laos. Our bus driver insisted on Playing a Thai CD on loop for some 9hrs and not much sleep was had! We arrived at the border and payed an extortionate $36 for our Visas. Vientiane wasnt much further on and we checked into the 'cheapest' guesthouse in the capital.

Mind blowing even. Jon and I are still trying to decide if it just beats the Great Wall or not- thats how awesome it was! We had ...

So much to tell you and so little time until the internet inevitability breaks! We are now in Cambodia having left Ho Chi Minh and crossed the border. It was all very uneventful despite non of us having visas. We have a new tour guide call Thou-its pronounced Two, so from here on in, Jon and I are known as number four and number seven respectively! We arrived in a crazy hot Phnom Penh and took our sweating bodies straight to the Russian market which was packed an...
