Laos! What can i say apart from amazing! If you visit Asia you have to go here. Great time had by all. After arriving in Vientiane the capital of Laos we made a sharp exit to Vang Vieng. Throughout travelling we had been recommended to go here by the majority of people we met, so obviously we would have been stupid not too. The sights were amazing and everything was extremely cheap. Making it a good contender for one of my favourite places so far. Days were spent tubing and chilling out and then more tubing and more chilling out. The pics give a good idea of what tubing is and a few hundred people take to the river each to day to join in! After meeting an abundance of Kiwi' and Australians we were lined ... read more

We arrived in Koh Phangan on New Years Eve after the overnight coach and boat journey starting from Bangkok. Lacking accommodation we had to settle with a beach side Hut on the North of the Island, the furthest point away from the main party. I say we had to settle for it but it is probably one of the most beautiful beaches i have ever been too! Tired from travel but determined to have a good night we set off towards Had Rin for the World Famous Full Moon beach party. The pics show a part of our night out and i think some of the people we met along our way. Most of the time we spent on the island was used up chilling on the beach which was exactly what we needed after our ... read more

Our first stop in Vietnam was Hanoi where we barely stop to soak up the culture before we were off on a three day boat trip from Halong bay. The first day consisted of chilling out on the top deck of our boat soaking up the sun and taking in some of the amazing views along with going for a swim and getting to know our 'new friends' for the next 3 days. A game of Paper, Scissors, Stone would decide who would spend the night with the know it all Canadian, unforntunately it was me who had to endure his crap. To cut a long story short the rest of the boat trip was made up of a visit to a couple of the 3000 islands that sit off Halong Bay along with Kayaking and ... read more

Finally arrived in Hong Kong after the 13 hour flight, good job we booked a hostel otherwise we would not have had a clue where to start. The hostel is apparently quite good, or so were told. The fact that all the beds touch gives you an idea of how small its is, and that was the first room! The second room we got moved into after we decided to stay a few more nights was even smaller and included an all in one shower/toilet/sink, i included a pic because im sure its the sort of thing you want to see! Finding places to eat has been particularly difficult, especially with jon with us. But we have managed to include some Japenese food a couple of chinese but probably more than anything so far, McDonalds, not ... read more
