hi guys,
sorry not updated in a while.... SO we left saigon to go to sihnoukesville for new years and when managed to get there after missing our connecting bus we couldnt find anywhere to stay, there was one room available for $40 for the night! so we decided to be travellers and sleep at the beach bar! we got to lock our bags away in one of the barmams rooms and partyed the night away until we fininally about 6.30 fell asleep in one of the chairs at the bar!!!!! and got a room the next mornign and slept the whole day more or less! we didnt do too much else there except relax and we went to a nice beach called shoaka beach (i thhink) anyways we left there and made our way to kampot! its a small town a stone throw away from kep and there isnt too much to do there! but we had fun- renting a bike and descovering the water rapids and views outside the town- we went a river sunset cusise and most days watched the dunset with a jug of beer a the river bars! we also went on a day trip treck to boaker national park! this was amazing!
it was a 3 hr treck through the jungle and then (due to them building a resort at the top of the mountain ) we had to get a truck the rest of the way due to safety issues but to be honest without the truc i dont think we would have made it lol one at the top - which was in the clouds we visited all the ruins left from the village up there where the king used to used as his holiday resort! then we made our 3 hr treck back!
we also had passport issues which i wont go into too much- just we sent them off with our guest house for visa for thailand and instead of taking 2days it took 8 so we had to sacrifice goingto siem reap temples to keep on track with time! so we went back to phomn phen- a pretty dirty city (well the bit for the backpackers was) and had terry birthday there! which was not the best as there is nothing to do (after we already done the touristy things).. but we had an indian for dinner- so he was pleased lol. we left for bankok for a 10hr journey
bankok was ... BUSY we only satyed a night before heading to chang mai another 12 hr journey!!! changmai was beautiful and we met two english girls and spent pretty much every waking moment with them!! there isnt too much to do in the city, just have a mooch around the city ! our second day all four of us booked to do a trip- my bday present from terry! IT WAS AMAZING! we wen to visit an orchid and butterfly farm first (bit boring) and then we made our way in our truck to the river there we crossed the river in this random cage where you and a guy on the other side had to pull yourself across- very entertaining! after that we met our elephant we were going to ride for an hr! AMAZING they are mahooosive- i was a little intimidated to start with. after our treck we brought bananas and fed our elephant and some of the others- they are v greedy lol we had a yummy phad thai lunch and then dhad an hr treck to a waterfall. the water fall wasnt really deep so you couldnt swim adn was freexing cold. but it was so clean and refreshing! after that we trecked back down the waterfall and stripped off again to go whitwater rafting, this was genious! it wasnt really ruff but some bits were so fast and we never capsized and only got stuck on one rock- concidering it was terry and the guide plus 3 girls we didnt do bad! after this we went bamboo rafting which was hillarious the man suppose to be making the bamboo and us moved gave terry the stick and was likr of fyou go.. and he went to the back adn sat next to one of the girls and started chattin her up lol we capsized and terry was hating every min- but we all thought it was funny!!!
we went out quite a bit whilst we were there and when it was my bday we relaxed by another hotels pool and terry took me our for an amazing dinner and we got pretty drunk with the english girls ans 2 nz guys we went out with. the band sung me happy birthday and we ate cake that terry brought whilst drinking bukets of majhitos - brilliant. next day we were leaving to go back to bankok and we spen the day with the two girls ans the nz guys and went to this lake outside of town, it was surreounded by little bungalows and was peacefull - great way to get ouver your hangover lol. we had lunch and some drinnks there before saying bye to everyone and leaving!!!
bankok again was crazy and we spent one day shopping and had an night out there, then the next day we did some more shopping and eating lol and left for one of the islands called koh tao. were here now after a painful bus and boat journey with a 5 hr wait inbetween them at the doxk. we have met up with 2 american girls we met when we were in vang vieng and having a great time! were leaving with them in 5 days to go to kho phangan to get ready in all the upcoming events for the full moono party on the 31st. were gona do scuba diving here in koh tao so after full moon were gona come back. its so nice here!!!
WELL THATS IT
