Day 2 in Stavanger and first day heading into the office for an initial couple of hours. With the body clocks not quite having adjusted yet, we were up at around 4.30am! We went for a short jog to check out a bicycle shop that Matty had scoped out the day prior. One thing we need to get used to is looking the correct way before crossing the street while running, given that the traffic runs on the opposite side of the road here. Next we checked out the grocery s...

Lots of travelling today! Flight to Amsterdam from KL was 13 hours and consisted of a number of movies and two massive feeds (even got raw salmon which turns out to be not such a novelty in Norway). We then missed our flight to Stavanger because our flight was late and we only had 1 hour between flights. Got lucky though and managed to get a new flight a few hours later AND were bumped up to business class! BOOM! The extra time turned out to be helpful as we coul...

This day started in Hanoi and ended just after take off from KL airport en route to Amsterdam.

Day 2 of our Ha Long Bay excursion started with a 7am buffet breakfast. Matty rated it best breakfast of the trip so far with decent enough coffee. This was followed with: - Cave trip (they were massive and impressive, but would've preferred chilling out and going for a swim. It was packed with tourists) - Early seven course lunch - Three hour drive back to Hanoi, and - Shopping spree which didn't eventuate due to dud mall selections by us and dubious taxi driver...

Up early for an 8am pickup to go to the Ha Long Bay overnight cruise. We were picked up by a van with 6 others in it and set off on the approx 3.5hr drive to Ha Long town. The drive was pretty crazy with our driver swerving all over the road to pass other vehicles, even when oncoming traffic was very close. Somehow we managed to make it alive. Yesterday's boat trip itinerary included: - A seven course lunch - Visit to floating village - Swimming - Sangria and wat...
