After Laos we crossed across the border into Thailand and went down into Chiang Mai. Had a few spare days here before we headed off on a 3 day trek through the rainforest. On day 1 we visited the Mork Fa waterfall and could swim here before we set off on an afternoon of trekking. It wasn't too bad today, but it was quite slippery from previous rain so took longer than normal. About 45 minutes before the end the skies opened and the rain came down! Going downhill...

I am currently at the Laos/Thailand border about to head back in to Thailand. Laos has been really good, we have just been unlucky with the weather. It is a lovely country though with such nice people, definitely another place on my list to come back to. We crossed into Laos on a 12 hour bus journey from Vinh, Vietnam. The scenery was stunning though so made the drive better. Beautiful mountains. Really different landscape to both Vietnam and Cambodia. We eventu...

I am now in Hanoi after an incredible 2 weeks travelling through Vietnam. I have loved every minute though and have done so much.

The trains were not as nice as China and Stuart Little decided to move most of his family into our cabin, much to the delight of the German girls!!! One mouse was caught but there were many more!! Thank god I wa...

I am now in Ho Chi Minh City (aka Saigon), Vietnam. I have been here for a few days now and leave tonight for the beach in Nha Trang which is located up the Vietnamese coast. The rest of Cambodia was good. We went to the torture chambers and killing fields which were awful. So sad! Unbelievable that people could do that to one another and it all happened within the last 30 years. When we went to the Killing Fields, most of the mass graves have been excavated, bu...

I am currently in Cambodia and am loving it here!! One of the best places I have been. The people are the nicest people I have ever met and they just make this country. We crossed over the border from Thailand into Cambodia and drove along the 'Dancing Road'. Quite correctly named as we bounced all over the place, have never been on such a bad road. Of course our bus broke down after about 20 minutes so we had to get taxis for the rest of the 4.5hr journey. In h...
