Your map description
I'm due to leave on the 30th June for a year long solo round the world trip. As I keep getting told I must either be very brave or very stupid- I guess we will just have to wait and see which it turns out to be!!

Nepal Asia » Nepal » Kathmandu » Durbar Square
I failed to learn from previous experiences and after arriving at the Nepali border I decided to take the cheap option as usual and save the one pound that was the difference between the local bus and the 'deluxe' bus and so set off on my '7 hour' local bus journey. Unfortunately my '7 hour' journey ended up being a 35 hour marathon test of endurance! For 21 of these hours we were completely stationary in the middle of absolutely nowhere waiting for the road to be rebuilt as it had washed into a river! To make it worse it was [View Full Entry]

It's hard to know where to start with India, it's certainly unique and Ive definitely never had such a love/hate relationship with a country before. There were so many things to hate about it- the filth, the poverty, open sewers, attitudes towards women, the constant hassle, the relentless staring etc but at the same time there was something about it that just made me love it despite all of these things. I didnt have a great start in India, before my first day in Mumbai (Bombay) was over I had been shouted at, hissed at, followed, groped and ripped off by [View Full Entry]

I reluctantly dragged myself away from the idyllic peacefulness of Laos and threw myself head first back into the chaos that is Bangkok. My original intention was that I was going to spend as little time as possible in Bangkok- just put in my application for my Indian visa and get out asap. However, I unfortunately had very bad timing and arrived at the start of Songkran- Thai New Year which is celebrated by staging the world largest 4 day water fight! Whilst this was happening on the other side of the city all the politic riots and protests were under [View Full Entry]

Ahhh Laos.... beautiful green spaces, friendly people, stunning temples and unspoiled oasis's of tranquillity! Arriving in Vientiane was a strange experience as my general impression of capital cities is that they are busy, noisy, and dirty, but Vientiane was none of these things- it was the most relaxed, peaceful city which seemed to have more temples than cars! And to my delight Laos only got better from there, I think that Luang Prabang is one of the most beautiful cities Ive ever seen- so good in fact they have made the whole city a world heritage site! Strolling round the charming [View Full Entry]

The journey over the boarder from Cambodia to Vietnam was certainly an interesting one as I chose to use a relatively obscure boarder crossing- at first it involved me and my backpack precariously perched on the back of a moto for 3 hours riding down some of the bumpiest, dustiest unsealed roads Id seen, then when we finally reached the boarder I was informed that there was no public transport on that side of the boarder. I therefore had to persuade a boarder guard with the aid of a few dollars to take me the last 30km on the back of [View Full Entry]

Cambodia Asia » Cambodia » North » Siem Reap
After a very long and bumpy bus journey and a slightly dubious border crossing I arrived (battered, bruised and slightly worse for wear) in Siem Reap. After the usual hour long trudge round town trying to find suitably cheap guesthouse I finally found a nice one and collapsed in bed for a very well deserved sleep. The following day after waking up feeling suitably refreshed I decided to be super energetic and hire a bike and spend the day exploring Angkor Wat. Although cycling in 38 degrees for 8 hours is somewhat tiring it was definitely worth it. Apart from just [View Full Entry]

On leaving Borneo I then had to make a mad dash for Thailand so that I could meet up with my Parents and Dina (Mums friend who currently lives in Singapore). After cheap flight and a couple of overnight bus journeys I made it Phuket in time to be at the designed rendezvous point. Unfortunately the place they chose as the meeting spot didn't actually exist so we all ended up walking round in circles and not being able to find each other, but we did find each other in the end (or in truth my Dad actually found me just [View Full Entry]

Despite the fact that it was monsoon season and I spent 90% of the time at varying different degrees of dampness I had an absolutely fantastic time. I first arrived in Kutching, Sarawak, Malaysian Boreno where I spent a few days and made friends with an Irish lad and 2 English girls (Danny, Niva and Stacey) who I spent the next 3 weeks traveling with. Stacy and I decided that despite the weather (although it was only slight drizzle at this point) we wanted to visit Bako National Park (which can only be accessed via boat) so reluctantly Danny and [View Full Entry]

As usual I have to start with apologies, first I know it has been a very long time since I have updated you all and I dont even really have a good excuse for this except I have just been having too much fun! And secondly I was a bit of a divvy and when I met the folks in Thailand I sent them home with all my memory cards/ flash sticks etc and so unfortunately I dont really have any photos here to upload until the Thailand blog ...Sorry!!! But I will upload then once back home. But anyway, I [View Full Entry]
