I arrived into Chang Mai in the early morning on Monday after an epic 14 hour train journey, although it did give us all time to get to know each other on the group.

After a leisurely lunch we went to the Tiger Kingdom in Chang Mai. Although I had done all the tige...

I have just got back to Hanoi from my 3 day boat trip around Halong bay. Talk about saving the best place to last - Halong bar was beautiful and by far my favourite place in Vietnam. After a 3 hour bus journey to Halong bay we boarded the boat and sailed for the rest of the day around Halong bay taking in the views of the countless islands.
