We had our first experience of a sleeper bus from Saigon to Nha Trang which was a 10 hour trip. We caught the bus at 8pm and got on to find rows of beds. When I say beds I do mean that they are for people who are about 5 feet tall and the width of a stick!! We got assigned beds for the trip and I was on the top bunk right in the middle of the bus. There was nowhere to put our bags so they just had to sit by our feet! We set off on the journey and luckily the...

We arrived safely in Vietnam yesterday! The trip here was eventful as ever! It seems that the actual travelling around part has all the events and funny stories! We caught an early morning bus from Phnom Penh and drove for around 6 hours when the bus driver gets out with a bucket of tools! Not a good sign I was thinking! He faffed around outside for a while and then continued to drive - at around about 20 miles an hour with a clunking noise every time the wh...

We set off for Phnom Penh from Siem Reap early this morning. The trip started out well. The bus to pick us up and take us to the dock arrived an hour late and then proceeded to cram 15 people into a 10 seater! One lady got out a little fold up chair and managed to squeeze in the aisle!

We spent a day in Vientiane in Laos, which was a bit of a non event really. We arrived by bus which was an 8 hour journey which should've only been 6 but we ended up dropping someone off at the border which took a while. We also had to wait 2 hours for the bus and when it did show up there wasn't room for everyone, so we had to wait another half an hour for a mini bus! I think that's just the way they work there though! I had some delicious Mekong river fish ...
