  • SIEM REAP

    INSERT_MAP
    Siem Reap was so much fun. Its pretty small and the nightlife is amazing. All the action takes place on a street conveniently re-named “bar street”.
    Everywhere there seems to be these monkey-man statues.
    SOILED MONKEY-MAN
    There are way too many photos of Angkor Wat that are amazing to be able to chose which one to put […]

  • PHNOM PENH

    INSERT_MAP
    We took the bus from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh. The main attraction here was supposed to be the school/prison where Pol Pot detained and tortured loads of “intelligent poeple” and the Killing Fields…. I cant say I was a fan! But the rest of Phnom Penh was excellent with bars and restaurants […]

  • CAMBODIA

    We spent about a week in Cambodia and I loved every minute of it!!!
    ANGKOR WAT AT SUNRISE

  • HO CHIN MINH CITY

    Today we went to see the Cu Chi Tunnels. They are definately as claustrophobic as they are made out to be. Here’s me in one of the trying to get in a tunnel but freaking out a little.

  • HOI AN

    This is definately a cool town. Its pretty small and mainly famous for its tailoring (which I couldnt escape) and old colonial houses. Its beaches are well nice too.
    We chose to go see the My Son ruins on our first day and although it was a bit of a way, it was worth going.
    ALL […]

  • HUE

    We had an excellent time here. We started off with a cyclo tour to the citadel.
    ME AND THE CYCLO
    The next day we took a boat down the Perfume River, spent the day on motorbikes, visited another temple, found an extra large snail, had lunch at a nunnery, learnt to make incense and conical hats […]

  • HANOI

    Hanoi is a pretty cool town too. Went to see a water puppet show which was quite crap though. There is some humour involved but its not that worth it. I thoight it was going to be on the lake but instead it’s in a tiny theatre.
    A FEW BANANAS
    COOL BONZAI

  • HALONG BAY

    On the way to the Bay we did a quick toilet stop to this place that sells rice wine in huge bottles.
    LAURA IS A LITTLE SCARED OF SNAKES
    A little later we arrived to Halong Bay and its really as amazing as the books make it out to be! We arrived just before lunch and […]

  • NINH BINH

    The highlight of Ninh Binh was probably the extremely little door leading to Lizzie and Laura’s room. We only stayed for one night on the way to the much more beautiful Halong Bay!

  • VIETNAM

    This is pretty much where I’ve been in Vietnam although didn’t make it to Nha Trang!
