Had a ball in Vietnam overall would recommend it to anyone even for a couple week holiday Then travelled up the Mekong Delta on a boat into Phnom Penh the capital of Cambodia. Visited the Killing Fields there and some other pretty grim places linked to t http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Thailand/North-West-Thailand/Chiang-Mai/blog-316384.html Hey I know i havent updated this thing for an age like but I'll make more of an effort in future I promise to give a quick skim over what I've been up to since the last blog entry... think I was just back from Calcutta... after that I headed north in India to Himachal Pradesh went to Manali which was cool place and then took an epic jeep ride to Leh in Ladakh right up near the Tibetan bord http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Vietnam/South-Central-Coast/Hoi-An/blog-309240.html HiJust to keep this thing updated been to Calcutta for almost 2 weeks staying with Raja our climbing guide in Himalaya. Was supposed to go to Darjeeling and Sikkim but they were all closed due to the political strike on there at the minute mostly hung around Calcutta which got a bit tiresome after few days Had great 3 days in the Sunderbans Tiger Reserve though Got a really good sighting http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/National-Capital-Territory/New-Delhi/blog-293047.html HiWell I got back from the wilds today had my first wash since May 24 or something like that nice to be back to civilization of some sort.Himalayas were awesome. We spend quite a few days acclimatizing moving up from Badrinath 3100m to our first camp at 3700m then crossed the Holdsworth Pass 4500m and dropped back down again into the Panpatia Valley where our target peaks were.
