Right then after around 12 hours on a bus from Siem Reap we found ourselves back in Bangkok and Thailand on the 2nd August and ready for a big night out there before meeting up with Jules, Ox and Nic (friends from oz) at Koh pha ngan (an island off the south east coast of Thailand). The night out in Bangkok was good from what i can remember of it, we started off at an Irish bar on koh san road and bumped into a bunch of Irish girls we had met earlier on our travels in south east Asia. We [View Full Entry]

On the morning of the 7th July we crossed the Mekong river over to Lao and to Houei xai. After an extremely easy and hassle free border crossing we got on another boat and set of on a 2 day boat trip down the Mekong river to our first main destination in Lao, Luang Prabang. The boat journey was a little uncomfortable on the first day but the views along the river were beautiful and it was cool seeing all the various little villages along the river. After around 6 hours on the first day we stopped overnight at a place [View Full Entry]

Thailand - part one Asia » Thailand
Right then after around 30 hours of various different buses, mini-buses and boats i arrived at Koh Phi Phi on the 24th June, an island at the bottom of Thailand. On the route there I stopped in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Hat yai (Thailand) and Krabi (Thailand) to change transport services and get some much needed refreshments. Once in Phi Phi i immediately booked in to a guest house, got a big feed, had a beer and was in bed by about 9 at night. The next couple of days I spent just relaxing on the beach and wandering around the main [View Full Entry]

From Kota Kinabalu we caught a plane haeading to the Phillipines on the 9th June at around 15:45. The plane was a little late but we arrived at Manila or so we thought at around 6 in the evening. At the airport with both me and Sam both feeling ill from food poisining (well thats what im going with) we immediately came to our first stumbling block as we were infact not in manila but Clark airport around a 2 hour drive away. After a little confusion and alot of hassle from taxi drivers we got on a bus to Manila. [View Full Entry]

After around a 10 hour flight from Auckland we arrived in Brunei on the 31st May for the start of our 3 months in south east Asia. Immediately we felt the intense humidity and new we would have to get used to it pretty quick as it would be much the same everywhere. The first night in Brunei we stayed in the Brunei hotel as we failed to find the only backpackers in the whole city, it was still fairly cheap costing around 15 pounds each. The next morning we set off early to have a look around Brunei as we [View Full Entry]

Right so after around 3 months on the north island we took the ferry across to the south island from Wellington to Picton on the 4th November. When we got to Picton we headed down to Christchurch to meet up with Dave and Goddings (friends from England) at the airport. On the way down we stayed over night at a holiday park so we could spend a day watching the American election and getting some much needed washing done!!! On the 6th we set off on a short trip down to Christchurch from the holiday park, this 30 minute drive ended [View Full Entry]

Hello folks, its been a while as they say so i thought i should update you on what me and barbs have been up to for the last 3 months on the north island of New Zealand. To be honest its much as the title says we landed in Auckland on 30th July with no money so work was a necessity straight away! So we were in Auckland for 3 days sorting out our bank accounts, mobile phones and discovering the best place to get immediate work would be to go further north to kerikeri in the bay of islands.

We arrived in Buenos Aires on the 12th July and after booking in to a hostel we proceded to have a walk round the city, immediately enjoying the vibe of the place. There was lots of busking going on by indivituals and bands with a variety of music being played including Jazz, Scar, reggae and Tango. That night we went out to a steak house and had our first Agentinian steak, which was as good as people say, just a big hunk of awesome meat! We proceded to visit the same place five times with one of the nights going with [View Full Entry]
