Another awesome day by the beach - this time in Nha Trang in Vietnam. After a long but somewhat decent sleeper train from Saigon, we reached the coast this morning and spent the day on an empty beach unknown to tourists. Basically we spent the day eating, sunbathing, swimming in the amazing sea or napping on a hammock. I could easily get used to this! I have uploaded pictures from Cambodia- didn't have time for captions but basically its in chronological order...

Every day in Cambodia just gets better and better. After the Killing Fields yesterday a few of us opted for a more emotional-free afternoon. We found this bar with a pool, which is popular with the full time volunteers in Phnom Penh rather than the tourists. It was awesome just relaxing and hearing all sorts of amazing stories (which make mine rather boring in comparison!). We even experienced our first SE Asia 5 minute rain storm! Very cool.

This afternoon we are meeting up with the group of people who will share our trip into Cambodia and then onwards to Vietnam. I seriously hope it isn't one of those annoying 'tell everyone one interesting fact about you' group bonding moments! Yesterday, rather than braving the crazy driving Tuk-Tuks, we trekked in the slightly warmer weather (40...

A few days into Bangkok and the heat & jet lag are definitely less of an issue. The initial shock wave of the craziness around here has subsided and we are starting to explore a bit more. Yesterday we managed to free ourselves from the backpacker central that is Khao San Road and make a little trip across the city on an awesome local bus. One of those crappy old school colourful open air buses. And at 7 Baht the trip, it was well worth it as opposed to the no...
