26/08/07 Today started of as a special day as the bus was the first bus so far to be on time. We arrived at Hue for 11.30am and we booked into a very posh guest house for $12 between us. Nothing but the best for us backpackers. We walked to the Imperial City where we it felt like we were geting the wrong directions by all the locals inside. The place itself was huge and without a map you might as well be walking around a maze. Being prepared we had...no map. So by the time we got there we were [View Full Entry]

17/08/07 After the heavy night I managed to drag myself to the beach by 11am where Matt and Amy were sunbathing on the sunlounges. I had to settle for the sand since I arrived so late but hay.....whats sunbathing on the beach without having sand all over you anyway?? I cant remember if I have said this already but them travel towels are great but the only problem being is that they are just slighty larger than a handkerchief which makes them anything but a beach towel!! You do get a few funny stairs though as you try and place your [View Full Entry]

10/08/07 I ended up drinking with two girls from Manchester last night till the early hours of the morning so you can imagine my delight to hear Matt knocking on my door at 6.15 to wake me up!! I dont normally rely on Matt to wake me up but remember my phone was stolen from me which acted as my alarm clock!! Matt, Amy and I set off early on a bus to go to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam which took 12 hours baby!! I love the travelling part, i really do......but this journey was a bit more eventful than [View Full Entry]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25/06/07 As you arrive at Bangkok airport the airport itself is quite stunning!! Our hotel in Bangkok was a 3 star hotel so not quite backpacking style but we had to start of easily. One of the receptionists took a liking to matt and we were in our room for 2 mins when the phone rang and she was asking to speak to him!! Playing really hard to get!!ha We got a taxi and he took us to a fish restaurant where we had one waitress cutting up our shrimp and another one filling up our our drinks! The [View Full Entry]

1/06/07 Usual breakfast of 6 croissants and 1 green tea from the local supermarket between the 2 of us again this morning. Spending a whopping 53b!!........ yes we are being tight!! Spent 3 hours in the internet cafe as well in the afternoon to where time flashes by big time!! We met Alex and Vicky today on the beach who are uni students so a bit wacky to say the least. Not to sure if Alex is gay but I am not planning on finding out!! Had a picture taken today with our landlord called Sayon and we managed to [View Full Entry]

5/07/06 Woke up again this morning with a hangover and got down the beach to enjoy the sun. Got to the internet cafe and the girls working there thought matt and I were a couple!! Had dinner at the open air cafes where we both ordered sea food rice. Without being over the top the only way we could describe what we ate was by saying one of the objects looked like an alien!! It took a few seconds to pluck up the courage to place it into our mouths but we done it!! A very proud moment considering I don’t [View Full Entry]

9/0706 We moved to Haadrin Bungalows this in the morning and were delighted to see that we had some storage units to put things on!! It just about rained all day so we sat on the balcony playing cards blessed with an awesome view of the mountains. After the internet we watched friends and drank beer to make it feel a bit more manly!! We moved on to the Cactus bar which is situated on the beach front. They has a fire show on the beach to entertain people as they were getting drunk! We met up with Isi and partied [View Full Entry]

16/07/07 We left our hotel at 11am where we got picked up by a mini bus. We didn't realise at the time that driver was going to take us for a drive that would have us appreciate our lives more at the other end!! We got to the ferry port in about half the time and when we arrived we realised that he had been racing his mate there the hole way!! As we were waiting at the port a couple was sat next to us. The girl screamed as she was going through her pack pack and shouted out that [View Full Entry]

20/07/06 Woke up and Matt bless him was still feeling ill so Amy and I, being caring people went and got pancakes and fruit for breakfast. Had a productive morning though since I bought a new camera for 5800b and it is a 8meg Fuji camera so got a good deal. Kind of hoping that this one lasts longer than 3 weeks!! Or......a he/she doesn't thieve it while humping my leg!! Sent the old one home via post which cost me 750b for my mum to sort out. Thanks mum!!!! That just proves that even though I am on the other [View Full Entry]

3/08/07 Got the bus to Phnom Penh at 8am which took 6 hours. Luckily for me I sat next to an American bloke called Josh who was the only other backpacker on the bus. A really interesting guy to talk to and didn't even listen to my i pod once the whole journey. His uni is sponsering him to study local peoples feelings to the Khmer Rouge. He had been in Cambodia for about a month already so he was telling me about peoples reactions to questions he had asked and said it was obvious which ones lived through it by [View Full Entry]
