In Ho Chi Minh, they don’t stop the traffic to paint the roads! Very quick though, 1 zebra crossing done while we had breakfast.
We travelled by bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, the Cambodian capital. It was a 7 hour trip along a road which was pretty bumpy in places. Aside from getting a lot of reading done, it gave us the chance to see a little of Cambodia outside the main cities. The area between Siem […]
We flew from Bangkok to Siem Reap in Cambodia. Siem Reap is the base for exploring the Angkor Wat temples. The town itself provided quite a change of pace from Bangkok. Not nearly as much car traffic but lots of mopeds and tuk tuks. All the buildings are low rise in the French colonial style. […]
After a quiet day to recover from watching the football all night we headed to the rooftop bar at the Lebua where parts of the Hangover 2 were filmed. Walking out onto the roof was just wow! Here are some pics taken with phones. One of the staff also took some with our camera and […]
This is not an airport ….. It’s a shopping centre, and each floor is themed after a different city!
Due to technical difficulties, I don’t have a way of getting photos from my camera to the blog at the moment so apologies for the lack of photos today! Conveniently, the main sights in Bangkok are right next door to each other so on Wednesday we visited the Grand Palace and Wat Po. We took […]
We landed in Bangkok at 9.30am. Deans rule for the day was that we had to stay awake till 10pm to beat the jet lag. We spent the day exploring the area around our hotel (Sukhmvit) and trying the local beers (Chang & Singha).We found a Dutch bar just around the corner which obviously we […]
The countdown has begun! In just under two weeks time we will be hopping on a plane to Bangkok and spending the rest of the year travelling round Asia and the US. We’ve set up this blog to keep our friends and family up to date with where we are and to share photos and […]
There are not that many places to go for a cooked brunch in Amsterdam, but the options have definitely increased since we moved here. Today I finally made it to Little Collins in the Pijp and it was YUM. Slow roasted pork belly, fried egg, home fries and apple and beetroot salad. Washed down with […]
Living in Amsterdam and having some of my closest friends back in the UK means I don’t get to see them enough! While last year I was back in the UK lots wedding planning, post wedding I’m just not going back as much as I was. Therefore three girlfriends and I have decided to start […]
A list that I plan to edit as I go along my travels. I’m hoping to hit 30 before I’m 30! United Kingdom (obviously – it’s where I’m from!) The Netherlands (where I currently live) Ireland France Belgium Spain Italy The Vatican City Switzerland Germany Greece Malta Sweden Iceland Hungary Brazil Argentina (even it if […]
So despite the fact that we were pretty busy with getting married last year, we still managed to fit in plenty of trips, in fact I think it was our most action packed travel year and part the reason I decided to start this blog – if we’re going to keep travelling at such a […]
