I have returned from six and a half weeks travelling in South East Asia. I started in Hanoi in the north of Vietnam. I went trekking in Sapa in the mountains in the North and cruising around Halong Bay. I travelled down through Vietnam visiting Hue, Hoi An and Nha Trang which were all flooded along the way. After a couple of relaxing days in Dalat in the Central Highlands I arrived in Saigon. This huge bustling city kept me hooked for longer than expected and I spent 4 days here. I then went on a tour of the Mekong Delta and travelled up the Mekong River on a boat into Cambodia.

I began my stay in Cambodia in Phnom Penh before heading up to Siem Reap where the temples of Ankor are. I spent 3 days at the temples and took hundreds of photos! My last week was spent exploring the South coast with its sleepy old colonial towns and beautiful islands and beaches. On my way back home I spent a day and night in Kuala Lumpur.
