I'm finally updating the blog! After only a week in India I think everything seems to have merged into one, and it feels like we've been here a lifetime! Our flight left Bangkok at 6:30pm, so we spent the morning hiring a boat to tour the back canals with Emily and Josh then headed to the airport. The flight was lovely but it felt pretty late by the time we arrived in New Delhi! We had tried to book a hostel with airport pickup, but when we couldn't find our n...

Our last day at Ankor involved a lot of cycling! We headed out a bit later at 6am (the alarm went off at 5, but I swiftly turned it off in my sleep!) to the outlying temples on the 'grand circuit'! The first stop was a really overgrown temple which was really cool, and the others were quite a bit smaller but still great to see. We ended up enjoying the cycle between them more, through forests and really pretty in the sunshine. Unfortunately I picked a bike with a...

We caught the bus to Siem Reap at lunchtime and got there much earlier than expected :) Our hostel here is really cheap, though we passed on the $1 dorm rooms as they were mattresses in the hallway!

After a much needed nights sleep we were off to explore Phnom Penh! It turned out to be very noisy and busy (much like most of the big cities we've seen) and we didn't really rate it much, so spent a lot of the day decided what to do next! We skipped the grand palace, which apparently was a mistake because it's beautiful, but it was quite expensive and I wasn't really feeling too touristy that day. So we booked a bus to Battambong for the following morning, and c...

We left Saigon early to join the tour through the Mekong Delta area, ending in Phnom Penh, Cambodia! The tour was three days long, and we were a little dubious about spending that long with no choice in the matter! Day 1 involved trying tea wth honey and kumquat juice, fresh fruits from the surrounding area and honey wine! The wine was less like wine and more like vodka, a little strong for 10am but we drank it all the same! Next we took to small boats and were ...
