Cambodia - sorry this has been along time coming - havent had a chance to update in a while!Arrive in Phnom Penh at 11am after long journey from Vietnam - sweet tuk tuk driver(although he later let slip that he was in the Khmer Rouge but cant be sure?!) took us to Okay Guest House - its probably the worst guest house we've stayed in so far, shared bathroom, no tv, no hot water but only $3 each. Thought we would spend the first day exploring the capital but ins...

When we left our hotel in Hanoi we had literally just stepped outside when we were whisked away on motorbikes, no time to discuss - as I turned the corner the last thing I saw Sians little worried face as I sped off into the crowd of motorbikes through the Hanoi streets. We thought we might never see each other again but I had the passports and she had the ticket so we wernt going anywhere without each other! I felt surprisingly safe on the back of the motorbike,...

Have had a very busy and wet couple of days since we arrived in Vietnam - very rainy, cloudy and windy!

Another random man picked just us up(with sians name on a sign - we felt very important!)and drove us to the guest house...

The slow boat was fine the first day as we had comfy seats and I managed to sleep most of the way but the second day the boat was packed and they loaded all the bags on one side at the back near the engine so the boat was re...

Had a brilliant few days in Chiang Mai - was a long journey getting here (although we were on a double decker bus with only 5 others) but were finally met off the bus at 6 in the morning by our Guest House owner Dong which was a relief, drove past loads of flooding on the way up here, all you could see of some houses were their roof tops, was really bad. All knackered and achey so have a sleep until midday. Go to the Saturday night market in the evening, Sian an...
