Phil Vicki - Toria and Phil

Toria and Phil Welcome to our Travelblog, designed to keep our family and friends (and anyone else who wants to tag along) up to date with where we are and what we are doing whilst on our travels around South East Asia, China and Australia.

I (Victoria) will be keeping the blogs going I guess, whilst Phil potters about and takes lots and lots (and lots!) of photos

We are heading to Malaysia, first of all, travelling to the Cameron Highlands, Perhentian Islands, Kuala Lumpur, Mellacca & Langkawi to name but a few! We'll be in Malaysia for around 2 months.

Our next stop after Malaysia is Thailand (meeting family and staying in Pattaya), where we're spending around 4 weeks, then heading over to Cambodia........this is where our 'plans' stop.

We hope to go through to Vietnam, Laos and South West China from here, then to Australia and then back to S.E Asia!!

We will hopefully be gone for at least a year, if not more, depending on how the money situation goes.........so as they say 'watch this space!'.

Please all keep in touch as we will miss you all heaps, will try and keep you all updated as much as possible along the way.....

So it is now a grand total of 6 months until we fly off to Kuala Lumpur on the 31st March 2010. Our plans have changed quite a few times, for one reason or another, mainly to do with money etc but this is now our final jetting off date!!! We are both getting excited about leaving our jobs and setting off in to the unknown, thought I would keep those of you who are interested up to date with our final plans, as I know they have been changing alot and some people have found it hard to keep up.......

Cameron Highlands

This seems to be the question on every Thai's lips "Where you go, where you go??". "Im going this way" is now my repsonse....not to be rude, but it does get quite annoying. After 3 weeks in this manic money fuelled country I have now become savvy and dont need to wiggle my way out of buying a T-shirt if Im just looking, I now just say I dont want it and walk away. We went to the National Museum today, couldnt stand to be ripped off by another Tuk Tuk driver, even though you only pay them about 2 quid [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Bangkok train station after a VERY and I mean VERY long journey back from Koh Samui, oh how nice it would be to be rich and fly!! But nope, us peasants have to make do and get on the longest means of transport neccessary, but its all in the fun isnt it?! We left the Jungle Club after a wicked night the night before. There was a wedding on during the day so at night some fire dancers turned up for a bit of entertainment and entertain they did! The way these 2 men were flinging fire stick [View Full Entry]

Well our blogs for the next few days might be a bit boring for you. We are bascially just chilling out on the beach so nothing to report, but we are having a lovely time still. It is really hot and sunny where we are and we're both starting to look a bit foreign as we are so brown! We went out for a seafood meal last night on the beach and it was absolutely gorgeous. We had lobster, jumbo tiger prawns and squid. The prawns were literally the size of my hand (and I have big hands hahaha). It came [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone!! Thank you for all your messages, they are really lovely! We will definately be cooking up some Thai curries when we get home, and definately my favourite Pad Thai (yummy!). We left Chiang Mai as planned on Sunday at around 8am, we arrived at the train station after a short Tuk Tuk ride (as mad as ever) and booked our tickets straight away, 2nd class to Bangkok. The train journey was 12 hours long, I fell asleep and Phil completed yet another book. We had free food on the train (amazing for 2nd class!) that was actually nicer than [View Full Entry]

We finished off our Wednesday night after the elephant trekking by getting into the city and heading to the night bazaar to see what goodies they had to offer. Thought it would be a good idea to walk there, and save us about 50p on a tuk tuk. Bad idea, we started walking, got lost and then I flagged down the first mode of transport I could see. It was a rickshaw. A tiny seated thing on the back of a bike being rode by a very skinny Thai man. I clambered in first, followed by Phil, who was swearing under [View Full Entry]

In the last couple of days I think we have been on every mode of transport possible, apart from as Phil said a cat, we started in a car, followed by: Plane, taxi, tuk tuk, train, songthaew, elephant, river raft and an ox. Im sure Ive missed something out but cant think of it at the moment!! We (when I say 'we' I mean I - Toria) got up at 6:30am today to get ready for the days events. Phil later joined me, after just about getting out of our room, theres a little black puppy that lives here and he [View Full Entry]

Good morning to you! Its 4pm here, think its the morning for you? Im getting so confused as to what day of the week it is, but suppose it doesnt really matter! Well, we've arrived safe and sound in Chiand Mai (bit touch and go for a minute though!!) The train journey was good but bad. Good because unlike getting on a plane we had a proper bed (seats went into beds) Phil slept on the top bunk and I had the better bed on the bottom with a really big window so I could see what was going on. Bad [View Full Entry]
