Hello from Vietnam! We are a few days late with our blog so will backdate it a few days so you are all upated. We arrived in Saigon or Ho Chi Min City from Cambodia on Friday. We had to leave our guesthouse at 6am as we opted to take the earliest bus we could so as not to waste time. The bus 'station' (not really a station, just a group of buses all parked on the side of the street) was full of local people trying to sell fruit and cold drinks but we decided th...

Hello again everyone! Today we travelled from Siem Reap to the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. It was a 6 hour bus journey (aggghhh) but at least we got to travel in the daylight for once and see some of the Cambodian countryside. This country is very flat compared to other places we have visited, like Laos, and incredibly dusty and hot.

Soo-a s'day! (that's hello in Khmer, the Cambodian language don't you know) Wow, what a day we have had! Today we went to the temples of Angkor which is one of the wonders of the world.

Hello! Oh wow... what a journey! Well, we are finally in Cambodia after what we must call another epic journey. It was long, it was complicated - but we did it! So, our journey started yesterday (was it really yesterday, it feels about a week ago!) when we left Koh Tao island at 2.30pm. It poured with rain on the island and there was a huge tropical storm so we were quite happy to go. At one point we weren't even sure if we'd be able to leave as the weather was ...

Hello all! Well, we've been having an amazing couple of days on Koh Tao island here in Thailand. We are incredibly relaxed and even getting up from the sunlounger is an effort now unfortunately! But we have been having a great time learning how to dive. We signed up for an Open Water SCUBA course which is a 4 day intensive course that aims to get you that confident that you can actually dive by yourself (with your buddy) and without the aid of an instructor. We...
