Greetings from sunny Cambodia! Been a while since the last up date - computers are sometimes hard to come by in this part of the world (its a hard life I know!). We've been through Vietnam since our last post and we're now in Sihanoukville on the Cambodian coast. So, highlights from the last few weeks: After spending a couple of days in Hue in Vietnam we moved to the beautiful town of Hoi An to be beach-bums for a couple of days and do some shopping (finally! ...

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD MORNIN' VIETNAAAAAM!!!! (sorry I know it's cheesy but I couldn't resist!!)

We saw Chuang Chuang (the male) and Li Hin (the female) but the baby, who's less than 2 mont...

Back in civilisation now in Chiang Mai. Found ourselves a really nice little guest house in the heart of town and so far we are really liking it here.
