We have absolutely loved Sydney, but it's time to move on. We have pretty much experienced all you can in Sydney without living here. Shame the weathers not been to great to spend more time seeing the different beaches, but I am sure we will pass through again sometime soon. We are staying in Kings Cross in Sydney and it's not as bad as it's made out to be! The Aussies we have met in Asia have all been 'oooh no you dont want to stay in Kings Cros...

G'day all you Bruces and Sheilas! We are in Sydney, it's so great here, I keep thinking to myself just how far from home we are! Sydney is such a perfect city, it's got pretty much everything you could want from a place. And even though the weather has been thoroughly rubbish for most of the time since we arrived, it's still such a wonderful place.We arrived in Sydney after sod-all sleep at about 9.30 am, and got a bus to a backpacker's hostel...

We are in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Originally this is as far into 'Indochina' as we planned to venture, and from what I've read of the place I was expecting a beautiful little city. In reality, although nice in parts, it doesn't match up to some of the other places we've been recently. But of course, what Phnom Penh lacks aesthetically, it more than makes up for with history... The bus ride from Saigon to the border was ok, but th...

Saigon is such a huge city. Masses of people and motorbikes. Apparently there is one motorbike for every person (9million), there's just a constant steam of them down huge roads, terrible to cross. We have learnt the Vietnamese way of crossing roads that looks so easy. What you have to do is walk very slowly out into the road, looking at the traffic that’s storming towards you. It sounds suicidal but it works, the motorbikes see you and they swerve arou...
