So, our last few days in Hanoi. I wasnt feeling too well so I stayed in while Rachel and Sarah went to do some souvenier shopping. They came back with bags of goodies and were very pleased with their bargaining skills, even if Rachel did mange to barter UP on a T-shirt! Once the heat of th…

Vietnam is a country of deep beauty and countless number of temples..... and motorbikes!!!

yeah yeah

My last days in Vietnam, at least for now, were relaxing and just walking down the streets, reading a book by the lake, drink a cup of coffee,... and all over again. Although the city is busy and crowded, I did have this relaxing feeling over there. Just sitting by the lake for hours, meeting peopl…

We elected not to take the 24 hour bus to Laos as it was rumoured to be much longer.  We decided to brave the journey on our own. Motorcycle taxi to the bus station- 3 people, 2 big bags, one small old motor bike...I think that it would have been faster to walk! Bus to a junction in the midd…

Decided that Hanoi was good enough to give another day to, so have booked in a Halong Bay cruise for tomorrow and will just wander around today.

Day 3 – Tuesday 17th of February - Singapore, Singapore to Hanoi, Vietnam Photos from Hanoi I had booked a Tiger Airways flight at 6am, which meant that I had to be at the Airport at least 2 hours before.  This was pretty crappy, because it meant I had to be up at three in the AM, to l…

Our first stop in Cambodia was Phnom Penh. More motorbikes and chaos, however the city and people were very raw. Genuine, friendly, always wanting to help you - their lives depend on tourism. "Hey lady, where you going? want tuk tuk?" Phnom Penh has a population of about 1 million people, but no sk…
