28-07-08 Nibby- We've been in Vietnam for 10 days now and it had barely stopped raining! We decided before arriving in Ho Chi Minh City that we wanted to stay somewhere slightly more up market so we could get an internet connection in our room, good job too because with all the rain we ended up spending quite a lot of time in our room listening to it pelt it down outside! Our first full day in the city we went on an organised trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels which were used by the communist northern government of Vietnam in [View Full Entry]

Vang Vieng Arrived in this total backpacker designation famous for Tubing and “Happy” shakes, pizza's and anything else Opium can be mixed with!!!! Only stayed 1 day 2 nights in the morning we headed into some massive Limestone caves we hiked into them with our guide for about 30 mins when you turned the torches off it really did mean we had pitch black. Then in the afternoon we headed for the main attraction Tubing - which means sitting in a rubber ring and floating down the Mekong river which has 10 or so bars on either side and to get [View Full Entry]

The Southern Swing Nibby- We arrived in Pakse and Matt had somehow managed to talk me into doing a 5-6 day motorbike tour around the southern area. We spent the first night in a posh hotel called Champasak Palace Hotel because we only needed to take small bags with us on our bike tour rather than our big packs and thought they would be safe to leave them here (great excuse to have a posh hotel for a night!) Day 1-Pakse to Tat Lo Next day we went into the town and found two Suzuki 110cc bikes for hire, which seemed [View Full Entry]

Si Phan Don Det Which literally translates as The Four Thousand Islands - which are a bunch of islands in the middle of the Mekong river some 300km south of Vang Vieng. We got ourselves a cool bungalow with river views and hammocks and hung around for 3 days. These islands are extremely basic they only have generator power between the hours of 6 and 9. And there was literally nothing to do but think. This was the first time Nibby and I felt a little home sick One night trying to go to sleep I moved my arm to find [View Full Entry]

Phnom Penh We have had a extremely quick history lesson and it has left us feeling both pretty sick and made us realise just how lucky we are and everyone who we know. Cambodia has had a pretty rough time since like foverever but recently and I mean only 5 years before I was born this country was in complete crisis there was a government in power called Khmer Rouge who were the most brutal, radical and gencidal goverments the world has ever seen. The leader Pol Pot was responsible for the torturing and killing of millions of Cambodians over 3 [View Full Entry]

Hiya everyone Just a quick one to let everybody know that our mobile number has changed. For the next few weeks we're going to be on 00856206033707. Matty's trying to pursuade me to do some kayaking tomorrow. Normally I would always be well up for that sort of thing but this is over proper rapids so I'm not so sure! Oh well, watch this space... does she or doesn't she!?! Place your bets please [View Full Entry]

First we had a look around a great market on Patpong road but on otherside of this one row market is all Bangkoks show bars first we headed into “Super Pussy” where as soon as we entered we had 15 strippers surround us massaging us talking to us Nibby got into a deep conversation with one who said she was actually a he and it was silicon here and silicon there he then got his tits out which where quite pert, and then offered to show [View Full Entry]

Nibby- Koh Pha Ngan, the island that's dead by day and alive by night and the host of the notorious full moon party. We arrived on 12th June after a very rocky ferry ride across from Koh Samui. We spent our first night in a nice cheap cheap room for around 5 pound for the both of us. That night was spent in one of the many pubs watching the Germany v Croatia game, Matty on the Chang, myself acquiring a taste for the famous sex on the Beach cocktail. Dangerous!!! The next few days were spent moping around as the [View Full Entry]
