Chào, We began our Northern Vietnamese adventure in Hue, after a lovely short bus journey (only five hours!) Hue was the old Vietnamese Capital and featured a massive citadel and several pagodas. Althought naturally, we started our exploration with a bowl of noodle soup, the local variety Bun Bo Hue, served up by a nutty old lady who kept laughing to herself. We then had a walk along the river and had a little explore and a cheap beer. The next day we had a fu...

Bula! We are finally out of Asia! From Hanoi we had a two day stopover in Bangkok where we decided to feast on the city's amazing street food! When we arrived we headed straight for Khao San road (or tried to). We grabbed a Sky Train into the city only to find that the bus to Khao San had stopped running so we had to get two tubes and another rickety old bus through China town before being dropped off a good ten minute walk from Khao San, but at least we made i...

We were then dropped in the middle of nowhere and walked over to a small shack which was Cambodian border control, before lugging our bags half a kilometre to Vietnamese b...

After a stomach churning journey, we arrived and found a hotel just before it started to pour down. Our first full day in Phnom Penh, we explored the central mar...

Sou'sday We are now in Banlung in the heart of Cambodia's Ratakaniri province. We began our journey here in Kampong Cham. The bus from Siem Reap was not too bad and we arrived in a quiet town by the Mekong river. We had a nice cheap room and drank ice coffee by the river before walking down to a famous bamboo bridge. The bridge is built every year out of bamboo after the rainy season to allow access to the small island in the river. The bridge feels flimsy as y...
