Phnom Penh

 
After the mission it was to get here and how late it was, all I managed the first night was food (Cambodian Veg Fried Rice!) and bed! The next day I walked around the city and was waiting for Ian to arrive. I was looking for a specific Continue Reading…

Nha Trang

Nha Trang is basically a Beach Party town, with not much else! I got the second sleeper bus with Dave and Scott from the UK who I met in Hoi An. Dave has got another foot on me, so he was struggling even more to fit in the sleeper, it was however slightly better than the first one at least, but we still couldn’t actually get any sleep.

Enter Hanoi

Bangkok, Round 2

After a not-so-bad night bus, Tommy and I returned to Bangkok, quite early in the mornig. We stayed at Soi 1 Guesthouse (on Soi 1 Sukhumvit) where Tommy and Rob have been regulars, and it’s run by American Expat Dave. Comfortable beds, close to the SKy Train, and quality air-con. We were luckily able to checkin early and had a bit of a nap before checking out the Chatuchak Markets. Only open weekends, these are the biggest markets in Bangkok. For some reason I forgot to take photos, but they’re crazy and massive. You can even buy maps for it.

It was Rob’s 22nd Birthday! Continue Reading…
