I know we got back over a month ago, but we had some adventures before we got home so I need to write about them! So, I think we were last in Bangkok for the second time and had just booked a bus to Laos. We were on another cramped bus overnight for about 14 hours. The bus was freezing and the further north we went the colder it became (we were not prepared for this)! Arriving in Vientianne, the old capital of Laos we struggled to find accomodation that didn'...

Just a quickie folks. We're in Hong Kong and catching a flight to London in 5 hours. We have a 13 hr flight and then a 5 hr wait in London before finally getting into Manchester tomorrow lunchtime (I've not gone mad - remember the time difference)! So I shall be updating the rest of the blog from home. We can't believe its gona so fast. We've had the most amazing 6 months, but roll on chilly England. Home Sweet Home. We're both incredibly tired. We haven...

Bangkok again, but hey no hospital visits this time! After the locals once again trying to rip us off in a taxi (hah I don't think so) we stayed in the centre this time.

It was a great night, and we ended up in Patpong dancing to a band (and at times getting on stage and singing with them)! Very funny story to tell about the end of the nig...

We had a bit of a panic at first because we couldn't get any Vietnamese Dongs out of the cashmachine but all was well the following day! We spent our first day walking round getting a feel for the city. Because we arrive...

We have both fallen in love. With Phnom Penh. We got there after a horrible bus journey with no leg room and went for a drink. Sat outside the cafe an elephant walked up and was eating fruit from the waiter. Crazy! Phnom Penh is a very very poor city. There are street kids everywhere running about naked in the streets begging. Its heartbreaking. And you're told not to give to them because it encourages them. But its hard not to. We spent our first full d...
