I only have about half an hour before I need to head off and catch my train to Paris, so looks like this update will be a quick one. I have been based in London for the last 2 weeks and have been exploring the city, chilling out and catching up with Mates. It has been incredibly relaxing and generally pretty great. London has certainly pulled out some brilliant weather too! The first week in London was a pretty quiet one. I spent my time chilling out and rechar...

So leaving off from a very quiet start in Frankfurt. I spent about 2 days in Frankfurt, the first was very quiet but just what I needed. The second day I spent doing a walking tour. We visited the Old town and went to the various Churches around the old town. Apparently, Frankfurt was almost completely demolished during the war and 80% of the Old Town was destroyed.

After having a seafood lunch on the Junk, we made our way to one island which has a rather large limestone cave. We walked around the cave with the guide giving us a run down on how the locals used the caves and he pointed out a few stalagtites that ...

Okay, hopefully this is third time lucky for writing this blog. The 2 times before this the power has mysteriously cut out. Frustrating? Oh yeah! But power cuts are a common occurance in Vietnam. I am now in Ha Long Bay but obviously have a lot to update since I last wrote about Cambodia! After chilling out and getting massages in Sihanoukville, Cambodia for a couple of days, we left for Chau Doc, Vietnam on the Monday morning. Border crossing and Bus rides wer...
