Gday from the land down under (Australia). Many apologies for the lapse in blog entries. We have been very busy. Since our last blog entry we moved on from Krabi to Ko Samui, a small Island south of Ko Pha Ngan. Our bus journey was again terrible, with ridiculous Americans and a brilliant German who, 15 minutes after a toilet stop announced that he had an 'emergency problem toilet'. He was hilarious. Ko Samui was very relaxing, many beach trips and bbq's. Large...

Greetings from Ao Nang, a beach town in Krabi. Its been a brilliant week since our last blog entry. It started off with an epic bus journey from Bangkok to Phuket. It lasted approximately 23 hours. Our longest bus journey to date. We were supposed to arrive in Phuket at about 9am and we actually arrived at 4pm. Far too much fannying about by the bus driver. We went straight to a beach town called Patong and arrived to the beginning of the Thai New Year. On th...

Back in Bangkok. We haven't written a blog for ages. Apologies. And as a consequence we have travelled through an entire country without a blog entry.

So we ended up with loads that we didn't want. This was also our first land border crossing. It took a long time to queue up and then go through bo...

Saigon.... The last few days since our last blog entry have been a blur of bus journeys, beach visits, booze bucket encounters and a lot of sleeping. We have travelled from Hanoi to Hue, to Hoi An, to Nha Trang, to Saigon in 4 bus rides totalling 36 hours. A regular width bus is not wide enough to accomodate 5 fully grown sleeping men, even if you know 3 of them (we had to sleep with 2 extra Aussies, which we met quite often on our journey south through Nam)....

Greetings from Hue, Vietnams last Imperial City. At the moment its also Vietnams rainiest because we are writing this during a torrential downpour as we wait for our bus to Hoi An in our Hotel. Last Thursday, after we wrote our last blog entry, was to be our last day in Hanoi and so we tried to make the most of it. During the day we took in some of Vietnam's culture by having a look at the Ho Chi Minh museum, his Mausoleum and the War Museum. The museum was qui...
