Blog 5 On arrival to Siem Reap after a monstrously long day, we arrived at our hostel to find we were double booked, And we re tuktuk'ed to 2 more hostels before we found a place to rest our ever more tired little heads! After an amazing introduction to Khmer (Cambodian) food of amok and loclak, (the later of which is in Bryn's recipe book cos it was that good) and a few games of pool with a bunch of Germans, we were out like a light! The following day we were...

Blog 4 Lots has happened since last blog session so this will be a recount in brief, which is a shame as we've done some amazing things!! The final days in Bangkok included floating market village and trip to the river kwai where we were caught halfway across the bridge by torrential downpours, which was thoroughly welcomed in the intense heat.

Bleary eyed (pollution from tuktuk exhausts) and a weary head, we were desperate for bed. UK...

Blog 2 Red lights. Amsterdam and Haarlam (1st-4th September 2013) So as I write this we're winging our way to Bangkok from a lovely few days in Amsterdam. We spent the first day in Holland doing a free walking tour exploring the delights of the city with a slightly eccentric tour guide who reminded me of young Bonsall after having taken a happy pill or 2 (hard to imagine I know)! Yesterday we took a day trip to haarlam to get out of hustle and bustle of Amst...
