The 2 day journey from 4k islands to Siam Reap was quite a trek!! It looked quite simple on the map, but what we thought were roads on the map turned out not to be something else! So we ended up spending a night on Kratie on route (which if you look at a map is completely the wrong way!). Plus there were no cash points on 4k islands, so me and Tim had about $2 between us, but were told there would be one in Kratie, which there wasn't!! Luckily we were travell...

From Thailand we caught the speed boat into Laos to Luang Prapang down the Mekong River. It took about 6 hours rather than the 2 days on the slow boat. The journey was an adventure in itself, we all had to wear crash helmets and life jackets in this tiny speed boat all crammed in - it was a great laugh. Luang Prapang was really pretty little town with loads of good restaurants and bars. Here we went to a gorgeous water fall with bright blue lagoons at the bot...

Oops, its been so long since I last updated the site I can hardly remember what I've done!! When I left Vietnam I flew to Bangkok which kind of turned into a week of drinking!

We also made out to the Tiger Temple where I stroked massive tigers - alt...

On Saturday we left Mui Ne and headed to Saigon as Cath had to catch her plane on the Sunday.

On Sunday we went to the Palace, but unfortunately it was the Presidents funeral so it was closed to the public, so we went to a big indoor market instead - it was all same same!! In the afternoon we visited the War Remnants Museum - most of the pictures we...

From Hoian we got a 12 hr sleeper bus to Nha Trang and then boarded a 7 hr sitting bus to Mui Ne. Arrived exhausted as its fair to say the sleeper bus is probably the worst nights sleep either of us has had here! We checked into a nice bungalow type place with a mini beach out the front and an outdoor pool by the sea. It was very quiet here as it was off season, but nice anyway. After a few eventful experinces trying to get motorbikes (all the drivers seeme...
