Greetings! hope all is well back in Blighty! We have been in Saigon for 3 days now and are leaving tomorrow for Cambodia (7.30 am start!). The first day we got here, we were all absolutely knackered after the 12 hour bus journey and no sleep the night before! we arrived in Saigon at 5.30 am which was quite mad as we couldnt find a hotel to stay in as most of them were closed! However we eventually managed to find one which had a T.V and air con, what bl...

Good Morning Vietnam! Sorry but i just had to say it! Well as you can probably guess we are now in Vietnam. We left Laos and let ourselves in for the coach journey from hell! We were on the damm thing for 24 hours, it was crazy! Not only was 24 hour coach journey bad enough but it was a local bus that was stacked to the brim with bags of rice, boxes of mangos and everything else you can imagine! The driver also seemed to enjoy torturing us even more by pl...
