So, second day in Hoi An, glad I didn’t post yesterday as I was full of the rage! Booked 4 days over Christmas in Hoi An based on everyone saying how lovely it is & as the old towns a UNESCO site, but after a walk last night it just felt like to worst kind […]

A Hoi-An Christmas
Back from the Mekong excursion and after a short flight I’m now chilling in Hoi An old town. I’ve bought a hammock but I’m not sure why (must reestablish my policy of never talking to shop owners) Decides to splash out for Christmas so got some super fancy digs – I couldn’t take a pic […]
One down….
So the time as come already, Cambodia has been amazing but it’s now onward across the boarder to Ho Chi Minh city & Vietnam. I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting when I set out but Cambodia has surprised & amazed in equal measure and never failed to deliver! Ankor Wat and the surrounding […]
Going Strong on Koh Rong
Thanks all for the birthday wishes, it’s been a fantastic day! Started with card opening while overlooking the beach from the raised tent I stayed in the night previous. Upgraded to a bungalow for a second night (with a nice big birthday discount) then trekked through the ‘jungle’ for a few km to the next […]
Genocide & Puppies
Second day in Phnom Penh, an interesting yet highly sobering day exploring the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum followed by the Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre (The killing fields) Harrowing stuff 😦 I can’t really explain the feeling you get visiting these places and reflecting on the atrocities performed here; even trying to begin to imagine going through […]
F**k me, that’s a lot of bats!
After my Ankor Wat exertions I spent the following morning taking in the Ankor museum before spending the afternoon pottering around Siem Reap. Then it was another day temple-touring, talking in some of the more ‘remote’ temple sights with a trip to the landmine museum on the way round. Pretty templed-out after that so yesterday […]
Living the dream in Ankor Wat
A big one today! This afternoon was the culmination of a lifelong dream which for the last 20 years looked like would never be fulfilled. I’m not sure why but Ankor Wat has always been the symbol of my travel dream, a far off exotic place in the jungle which only existed in the pages […]
Damn you poxy camera (Part 1)
Things I wanted to photograph today but battery was flat: ‘Bona’ coffee in JJ mall: ‘Its just that good’ (Not their actual tagline, my own addition) 🙂 A travel case that folds out into a full-on dressing table with huge vanity mirror and 40’s style showbiz light-bulbs all around the edge. Suspect one or two […]
Bangkok Nov 2015 – The Journey Begins!
So an eventful first 4 days draw to a close! Bangkok’s been interesting as well as a challenge: it’s one of the most exhausting places I’ve ever been to! Walking anywhere is just a nope, it’s the most un-pedestrianised city I’ve ever come across. Pavements randomly end or just get swamped with mopeds (the road […]
