So where does the story start again.. its been a while since my last blog.. so after leaving Koh Tao I headed on a speedboat to shore to head to Bangkok. The journey was somewhat hilarious as it was very rocky so people were lying in the floor and doing anything to keep their sea legs and not lose their stomachs on the way. I was fine and plugged in my ipod and zoned out for the hour and a half. I think I am getting used to travelling thankfully. When I hit lan...

I arrived in Bangkok and found a cheap place on the Khoa San Road where I slept for a few hours then showered and headed out. As I passed a restaurant I spotted Paul from Vietnam and Laos so I joined him and a friend for breakfast. For the rest of the day I just hung out and wondered about.

It was so beautiful and I only wish I could of captured it. On the way there and back we went past local villag...

We took our 14 hour bus ride from Hue to Hanoi and arrived there about 6.30 in the morning. On route we met a girl called Suzanna and caught a cab with her to the backpackers hostel. We found a travel agents and booked on a 2 day tour leaving that day for $52. It included one night on the boat and another on the Cat Ba island. We managed to get breakfast and head off on the 4 hour ride to Halong City. You can only imagine how tired and sweaty we were by then. Aim...
