We are staying in Canggu near seminyak. Today we hired a moped & scooted down to the nearby beaches. We went to Echo Beach first & had some breakfast over looking the sea. We then went to the next beach along called batun belong. We sat on the beach for a while then walked up to the next beach & found a place that rents sun loungers. We stayed there most of the day. The sea had such big waves it was fun to watch the surfers. We then went to 'old m...

Which is staffed by ex street kids & their mentors. The profits go back into the charity providing food & healthca...

We decided to rent bikes from our guest house for the afternoon and cycle to Angkor Wat. It cost us 2 US dollars for the day! We cycled ...

Hi have been in Vientiane the capital of Laos today & tonight. We caught a mini van from Vang Vieng which took about 3 hours. The journey here was more scary than all the stuff we have done so far zip lining, elephant riding, tubing included! The driver was a maniac! There aren't really any obvious road rules in Laos anyway & it seems if something gets in the way just overtake it but this driver was crazy! I felt like my head was going to fall off my n...
