Our journey back from Phu Quoc was a 2 hour ferry journey followed by 7 hours on a bus. This was our first experience of a sleeper bus and climbing onto the coach to find rows of beds was a bit of a shock. However both me and Scott like lying down (I'd say its probably one of our favourite things) so we were both pretty happy with this. Luckily we were given the back row where the beds are a lot longer and even Scott managed to just fit in, the only downside is t...

So the day had come, we had booked to spend 6 full days completing our Open Water and Advanced Open Water PADI qualifications. We were all set for a day in the classroom; books and pens at the ready and Scott had even changed his name to Scuba Steve. This is something I've wanted to do since being young and was so excited to start, however 5, 45minute videos later and I was ready to walk out and not bother. Saying that I think Scott actually wanted to hit somet...

A two hour ferry ride later and we arrived on the island of Phu Quoc, the sun was shining and the sea was calm and full of colourful fishing boats. Paradise!

We had a met a lovely Irish girl named Abby and decided to share a bungalow with her for $25 a night! Luckily there was a group of u...

The next two days were spent doing a tour along the Mekong Delta, a massive river that runs through Cambodia and then into Vietnam. I didn't listen too much to the tour guide so can't give you much more info than that. Although I did listen to the stories he told about locals chopping off tourists arms to steal their bags, made me feel really comfortable. Unfortunately this meant another 8am start, I'm not sure we're ever going to get a lie in here! After trying...

The previous day we had booked a tour to visit Cu Chi Tunnels, this meant an early start, catching the bus from outside our hotel at 8.15. Boooo! This was also our first experience of an Asian bus, basically if you're taller than 5'5" you need to be a contortionist to fit into the seats. Cu Chi is a district about 30km outside of Ho Chi Minh City that is made up of villages and Jungle, during the war the Americans attacked this area. In order to protect themselv...
