Our last blog from overseas for this trip! Day 55 - 28/11/09 - Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) We slept in longer than we meant to this morning which meant we had less of the day to explore the city. After another yummy 5 star breakfast, we wandered down the road to the KL Hop On Hop Off bus stop. This bus is a tourist bus which circles the city stopping at 22 stops which include over 40 sights. The buses come past the stops every 15-30mins and you can get on and off w...

5 countries explored, 1 to go... Day 53 - 26/11/09 - Hanoi (Vietnam) & Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) This morning was an early breakfast before Checking out of our hotel and getting a taxi to the airport.

We checked in, dropped our bags in our new home and went for a stroll to find lunch and see more of the city. We made our way north, seeing Ho Chi Minh's Moseleum and the Presidential Palace. These places were heavily guarded, though we didn't feel threa...

Day 47 - 20/11/09 - Hanoi (Vietnam) After breakfast, we walked back to near Hoan Kiem Lake where we booked front row tickets to a water puppet show for Wednesday 25th. This is said to be a must see in Hanoi, and it was booked out for the next few days, so we are quite excited to see it. It was a whole AUD$6 for 2 first class, front row tickets, and will be an extra AUD$1 for us to be able to take pictures during the show... We then walked through the Old Quart...
