Hi all So, we left Cambodia with a bit of a sigh of relief and jumped on our flight bound for Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. Now originally we’d planned on heading back to Bangkok and heading north east to do the bits we missed on our last visit before heading down to the southern islands for some serious alcohol abuse, before hooking up with the other three in Singapore for our flight to Perth. However, due to the military coup in Thailand we decided that perha...

Hi all So, I guess it’s time to tell you about the Eighth Wonder Of The World. Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is pretty much the national symbol of Cambodia and is everywhere you look. So, 4.30 am saw us getting up and heading off to see the sun rise above it for what we were promised would be one of the most unforgettable scenes of our lives. And I’m sure it would’ve been if it wasn’t persisting down. Instead we found ourselves standing around ...

The trouble is where to start, as it’s comp...

Hi all So we packed our bags for the final time in Vietnam (sniff) and boarded our bus for our 3 day tour of the Mekong Delta. Now I know this is quite bad, well really bad in fact, but I’m not 100% sure where it is we went. So everything from now on is based on looking at the map and trying to dredge up in my memory some familiarity with the place names on it. So this is probably going to be completely wrong. Although I’ve just realized tha...
