We decided to get out of the city and headed to the coast for the day to see a small town called Kamakura which has a lot of older sites to see. After getting a train there we went straight to Engakuji Temple which was 600 years old and was really nice. From there we walked throught the town and went to Tsurugaoka shrine which was very colourful and there was a museum of national treasures beside it so we went there as well. Then we took the train to Ha...

We arrived earlier at Tokyo international airport and managed to get accomadation through the tourist board at a japanese ryokan (guest house) near the centre of Tokyo. We got the train there, the first of many journeys on them and arrived before check in at our Ryokan. Much to the dismay of our hosts for our time in Japan (three old ladies who between them could say hello, money and bye-bye in english) who showed us the door as soon as we got there! We mana...

We spent a couple of days here at the start of our trip before heading to Chang Mai but we returned to Bangkok to spend a few days seeing the sites at the end of our time in Thailand. Our first few days were spent geting used to the heat in Thailand as its incredibily humid! We met up with a group of university friends our first night here and got a baptism of fire when it comes to the night life here. To say we were drunk is an understatement! We are s...

Believe me this place looks as good as the photo does! Might be part of the reason we've ended up staying here for 8 days. After geting the ferry across from Koh Samui we headed to the north of the island to our accomadation. Which was an exclusive island called Koh Ma that can only be reached by boat unless the tide is out and there is a sand bank you can walk across to get to it. It only has 8 bungalows on it and there are only ever 20 people on the island...

We got to Koh Samui after another 12 hour bus journey, arguing with our airline over the tickets we had bought for the 2 hour flight and the 2 hour ferry crossing it takes to get here but it was worth it! There are palm trees and golden sand everywhere here! After the day and night we had geting here we had barely put our things in our room and we were in the sea for a swim. The place we stayed at was a bit more expensive than our other accomadation has...
