Saturday night was the 1year anniversary of the hostel we were staying at in Kampot so they had a big party with a hog roast, fireworks and a live band which was a lot of fun! Sunday morning we jumped on a bus and headed 2 hours down the coast to Sihanoukville. We are staying on Otres beach, a lovely spot just outside town. Last night we stayed in a hut right on the beach but as they were full tonight we moved across the road to some bamboo huts that they have re...

We've made it to Cambodia, the sixth country so far of our trip! The journey from Phu Quoc island was long and painful with to many people lying to us or trying to get money out of you at the border for ridiculous things, $1 for a health check from a guy in a small hut who got very upset when we refused to pay was the funniest, but we are here! The place we are staying is 7km outside of Kampot right on the river. There are a good amount of rope swings, diving pla...

Phu Quoc itself is a stunning place though. The south of the island is covered with perfect beaches, although resorts are starting to fill up the pristin...

But our time in Vietnam is not over as tomorrow night we head for the southern Vietnamese Island of Phu Quoc before crossing into Cambodia on the 27th November. We have spent the last few days wondering round the city, enjoying the sights and sounds of Vietnam including the war remnants museum, a fairly...

After a 5 hour bus from Nha Trang, we arrived in Mui Ne just after lunch yesterday. The place we are staying is right on the beach with its own pool and we are in a nice 6 person dorm. We met up with our Irish friends in the early evening and retired to the bar next to the hostel to watch the rugby and football, neither of which we ended up watching, and then a few of us headed to a great bar right on the beach with a large bonfire and fire dancers. This morning...
