Us again!
Phew, we are on the move at the moment eh!
We have arrived at Singapore today from 'nam. Its really hot and humid here, but its nice to be back in western culture for a while. we have been in Raffles City shopping centre already with all its shops, but haven't got anything yet.
We are off to see the skyscapers by the river tonight and visit chinatown, which should be cool. We are also hoping to take a trip to the World famous Raffles Hotel - it's where they created the Singapore sling drink and is quite posh as well, so pull out the glad rags from somewhere.Â
Well, our last few days in Vietnam, we went on a tour of the Mekong Delta. This is a massive area where the Mekong River reaches the sea. Here we went and saw amazing floating markets where the locals do business in pineapple and melons.
ANd yes, we did get to wear the round, pointy hats, and they really do work by cooling you down and not just to make you look cool!
As the tour was over 2 day, we had 1 night stopover, so us and our travelling friend throughout asia so far - Jenna from Canada, we decided to do a homestay for the night. It was a really good experience as we arrived in a town at 7pm in the dark and us 3 were then take by this rickerty old cart through the crazy streets through town, until the lights disapeared and we turn down an alley to see a little flashing light, which turned out to be the light on this boat, as we had to take a 10 minute boat ride in pitch black - now this is real travelling!!!!!!
The family were ok, the food was well good and we helped one of the children practice his english, which was cool.
Anyways, only 1 night in Singapore (we tried to change flight but the day after is booked up!) so tomorrow we are off to Krabi in Thailand, gateway to some of the amazing beaches for the remainder of our adventure...
See everyone real soon,Â
