Hello again...just like London buses you wait for ages for one of my blogs and now you get two at once! It's ok you shouldn't feel privileged I'm just on a long bus journey... As chief transport organiser it made sense in monetary and geographical terms to go to Laos next. So taking advantage of the 0% commission I earn with AirAsia, Vientiane was our next port of call. Arriving at the airport we were aware that we could purchase a visa on arrival, so we though...

Anyway for those avid followers scrutinising our itinerary, you will notice that Kuala Lumpur (KL) was never part of our travels. However we decided to make a slight alteration to our route since the only cheap direct flights that we could find that were consistent with our plans (and also avoiding the local avia...

However, the description looked good so I decided to risk it. Getting there was very interesting. We had chosen the...

Since everyone has said how great Bryan's blogs are I've banned him from writing any. So you're stuck with mine! We returned to the mainland of Bali and for some reason that now escapes me we chose to go to a place called Bingin on the coast. It hasn't fully developed as a tourist resort yet and in fact trying to get a taxi there was pretty difficult just because no one had heard of it.
