It's actually quite difficult to switch off and relax when you're so used to be active and on the go. I was really enjoying reading my survival book. I keep boring Ju to death with facts about edible food that can be found in the wilds. I have reached the section on traps and snares. Not so sure I will be making spring loaded traps or dead weight traps - a bit dangerous! We made our way into town and waited for the ferry boat to Koh Tao. I found being in the pres...

Not too much to report for today - another jog and swim to start the day followed by brekkie on the beach. It was bright enough to sunbathe for an hour or so but then we felt the first spot of rain and spent the rest of the day under cover at the restaurant reading books. I was deep into a novel about a young girl going missing and a private detective's mission to find her and with it the million dollar reward. Luckily it was one of those gripping reads that you ...

I pointed out to Ju who kept moaning about the sea being rough and the sky cloudy that if we had just stepped off the plane from the UK we would probably find...

Headphones on I immersed myself in my music. I had a few days worth of blog writing to catch up on. Our journey from Siem Reap to Bangkok would take us over the border crossing. As you would expect the bus was cramped. There should be a competition or certificate of recogni...

We had more time temple gazing outlined for the day, but thankfully were leaving at the more humane hour of 7.30am. We had saved the city of Angkor Thom for today. All that remains of this city which once homed a million people are the religious buildings, the viewing terrace for the Royal family for ceremonies, the Royal family cremation ground and the impressive city gates. As our tuk tuk passed through the gate I could see rows of stone buddahs lining either s...
