Ok so Cyprus doesn't exist on this travelblog's information! THAT'S how insignificant we are, Cypriot's: get over yourselves! You are NOT the navel of the earth as you like to believe! It's October. I have been on the Island since August, when Andrew and I flew into Larnaca airport at a horrendously early hour and my poor sleepless brother had to pick us up. On top of that we had a delay and i guess that did it to deflate the 'excitment' factor on behalf of Claus's side, over our arrival!Luckily my penthouse was empty so we could stay in it, [View Full Entry]

So much time has passed since our last entry. We have grown with our sorrows and overcome our pain from the loss of our unborn child.It was an adventurous few weeks in Luang Prabang, Laos. We let go of our little miracle in the waters of the mighty Mekong, with a prayer and a song on one very special boat ride. The weeks that followed where tough but we made the most of what we had and did enjoy our time in Europe. Our first stop back in the Oldest continent, was London. It was a comforting first stop on our [View Full Entry]

ATD We arrived in Laos upon a small Air Laos plane from Bangkok, having being forced to take the more expensive aerial route due to a train strike and our expiring Thai visas. Our plane was decorated brighter than a grade three classroom. We were efficiently ushered through customs at the small airport in Vientiane. The airport was notable for its lack of hawkers - a big change from what we have grown accustomed to in Asia. We found a cab driver who took us to our digs for the night. Villa Sisavad turned out to be a little disappointing and [View Full Entry]

Bangkok in June ABD - We returned to Bangkok from Poipet, on the Cambodian border. The train journey was a pleasure, although it took us longer than a Bus ride would have taken. It was however much cheaper, at 48 Baht per person, instead of 250 Baht per person by Bus. That was not the reason we opted for the train though. Andy and I love train journeys and find that they are never quite long enough. It is a great way to see a country through the window of a train, to daydream while taking in the images passing you [View Full Entry]

05/06/2006, 06/06/2006 Phnom Penh is a capital in the making. There is a lot of restoration and road work being done, the riverfront seems to be undergoing some major renovation. Our Guest House, funnily named ‘Me Mates Place’, is owned by an Aussie with Cambodian Heritage. The room was the best we have stayed in in Asia. It was really trendy and air-conditioned, with a power shower like no other. The day we arrived we spent hours enjoying the room and ended the day by taking a stroll down to the river and enjoying a good feed at a local market. [View Full Entry]

Wednesday 03, 04/06/2006 Our Bus, complete with WC and free water service, left Siem Reap at 7:55 am. We read our books and slept and listened to music and blogged on the laptop and then we arrived at Phnom Penh. An earlier stop around lunch time, was full of surprises. We got off the Bus to get a quick bite for lunch and were immediately surrounded by a handful of children selling bananas, mangoes, pineapple and eggs. Yes, eggs. We started a lively conversation with them and the little girl selling the eggs was just too cute. There was no [View Full Entry]

Tuesday 02-06-2009 Our last day in Siem Reap, we met up with Waha, a man we had met on our first day in Siem Reap in the park near the river, when he had stopped us to ask for some assistance with his English. We got into a lively conversation and soon found that this man was running a school/orphanage for underprivileged children. Would we like to visit? We arranged to meet on Tuesday and now the day had arrived. After a long motorcycle ride, with minor mechanical problems, we arrived at the small school. In the middle of a jungle [View Full Entry]

Monday 01/06/2009 To celebrate one year since we met each other in an Adelaide night club, Andy and I went to the Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospital in Siem Reap to donate Blood. As I said in a previous blog, it was a very good experience, one I can only recommend to anyone physically able to donate blood. Earlier in the day we had visited the National Angkor Museum. We had both been super impressed by the presentations as well as each of the gallery halls interior design. We where suffering from an overdose of information and thus needed every new bit [View Full Entry]

29/06/2009 - 31/06/2009 The Temples at Angkor I always find it increasingly difficult to blog about things that have struck me and left me in absolute awe. I feel like every word I use, does not do justice to the overwhelming magnificence of it. Such are the Temples at Angkor. Spanning a radius over 50 kms, some of the temples at Angkor where built as early as 610. It is almost impossible to take in every single detail and every temple on the grounds of the complex. One would have to have endless time and be a real enthusiast in order [View Full Entry]

Cambodia- ATD 27-06-2009 We arrived at Bangkok train station before 5 am, excited and ready for our train journey to the Cambodian border. We had tasty iced coffees to open our sleepy eyelids, although I must admit that I think it is the first time I have been served coffee by a lady boy. The train ride out of Bangkok and across eastern Thailand was great. I enjoyed seeing the apartment blocks gradually give way to lush rice paddies and sparkling temples. We arrived at the Thai border town of Aranya Prathhet, which had served as a huge Refugee Camp for [View Full Entry]
