Hello! Currently updating the blog at a stand up computer at Ho Chi Minh City Airport looking out onto the runway! Anyway....the guide book was very accurate in the description of a sleeper bus as "hell", we had more than an uncomfortable nights sleep. Most of the 'beds' on the bus were actually nice with good leg room but we happen to find ourselves right at the back of the bus where they had managed to squeeze 5 'beds' (by bed it was basically a cha...

Hey! It has been a while since the last update and we are now in a completely different country!

We hired a tuk tuk (motorbike pulling a 2 seater carriage!) driver for the day to take us to all the temples we wanted to see!

Day two Woke up ridiculously early (well, was already awake) for a coach and ferry to Ko Tao which left at 6am. Took about 8 hours to get here but the bus was air conditioned and the Katermerang (sp?) was nippy! Just about bored of all the travelling today untill we looked out the window of the katermerang and saw FLYING FISH!! :o haha.. fish that have wings and fly (incase that needed clarification lol). We arrived and then sucessfully attempted our first bat...
