                    <description>Days 238  242 Sat 4th  Tues 7thMay Mumbai So the day had come for my Dad to head back home to the Isle of Man. He left around 10am to go catch his flight. Id like to think he had a good time here I know he enjoyed the cricket but I am pretty sure he hated India. He definitely wont be here again but neither will I. Was tempted to go get on a flight myself but I still have 9 days in the</description>

I headed out to get some money and plenty of snacks and drinks for the trip. I know that people constantly roam the aisles selling stuff but a lot of the time there English isnt great and Ive even had t</description>

                    <description>Days 221  225 Tues 16th  Sat 20thApril Bangalore A very early start for me being around 7am to give me time to get showered and to the station in Chennai to head onwards to Bangalore. The trip took around 6 hours and its safe to say that the second class seating is not comfortable at all. It certainly isnt as good as a virgin voyager service back home.I arrived mid afternoon and got in</description>

                    <description>Day 214 Tues 9thApril I had a 6am start this morning well a 5am wakeup call. I got picked up by a tuk tuk and taken to a hostel where a mini bus turned up soon after to take us to the border. This took around 3 hours the border crossing being a lot more speedy than the reverse trip last Tuesday. I was approached by a bloke offering a minibus to Bangkok after chatting for a minute or 2 decided</description>

                    <description>Day 205 Sun 31stMarch This was my last day in Singapore and we had done pretty much everything I wanted to do. I did fancy a visit up the London Eye like thing and maybe a view from a hotel bar or something but really couldnt be bothered paying the price to do so. We instead went for a bit of a hike up into Mount Faber park. Took us a while to find it as we went out the station the wron</description>

                    <description>Day 200  Tues 26th March We got up reasonably early ate as much free toast as we could muster and headed for the bus station some 20 minutes away by LRT. There was a bus leaving straight away but we went for one a little later as it was far cheaper and gave us time to purchase some snacks. The coach we got was immense. It turned out to be a first class massage chair coach. So for 5 or so hours</description>

                    <description>Days 196  198 Fri 22nd  Sun 24thMarch So the reason had arrived for our being in KL. I would have at some point been in KL on my trip but the fact the formula 1 was on made me change my plans and dates to come here and with air fares in SEA being reasonably cheap it was no hassle to fly in and then fly away from Singapore to where I was which was good. Lee had wanted to come out to Malay</description>

                    <description>Day 190 Sat 16thMarch My first full day was to be spent at a music festival namely the Future Music Festival Asia. When I booked to come to KL I had no idea it was on a couple girls told me about it in Vietnam so I looked it up and decided to go. I popped out for breakfast in the morning to come across a familiar face passing me by. I wasnt sure at first but I thought about it as I carried </description>

                    <description>Day 182 Fri 8thMarch Unfortunately although named Angkor Wat there are no pictures of it itself just the surrounding temples. Camera is still on holiday there. They will be up when i get it back I started my first day in Siem Reap deciding what to do. Id been given a very handy brochure when I checked into my hostel so planned my temple route. I headed out around lunch time. I wasnt ori</description>

The bus took a mere 11 hours but it passed quite quickly and wasnt too boring although the countryside either side of the main highways here is pretty uneventful. There really is not a view. Either fields are burnt there is little vegetation when there a</description>

The bus took around 5 hours and a pretty uneventful trip. I arrived around dusk. It was pretty wild on first impressions. It was very windy and significantly colder than anywhere else in Cambodia has been. I checked into a guesthouse had a cold shower as there was no cold</description>

                    <description>Day 163 Sun 17thFeb I was glad to be leaving Sihanoukville first thing this morning. Ive not really enjoyed the last 3 days here as much as I thought I would. Apart from the Police incident which was amusing I felt Sihanoukville was way too touristy for my liking. I can see why some people like it but it wasnt for me. The bus to Phnom Penh picked me up and I was on my way.On reaching the o</description>

                    <description>Day 157 Mon 11thFeb My last morning in Saigon was one where I had to pack up and move on. I got sorted and headed to the tour shop whod organised my taxi to the airport. Got out to the airport in way too much time giving me 2 odd hours sat around in the departure lounge. Watched a bit of tv then boarded my plane. I was flying to Phu Quoc island. Phu Quoc is Vietnamese although a lot closer to</description>

                    <description>Day 152 Wed 6thFeb I got the bus to Saigon at 8am. It got me there around 2pm and dropped me 1 street from my hostel which was perfect. I walked through a little park with my gear and headed straight in paid and got sorted. My friend Amy who Id also travelled with in Laos had booked in yesterday so I sent her a message and we met up for a quick wander around town. We didnt go too far then</description>

The bus left around 11am and we got in around 3pm. During the trip I first watched Top Gear and then spent the rest of the trip looking out the window. Da Lat is 1500m above sea level so it is a windy road all the way up. The views are pretty </description>

                    <description>Days 140141 Fri 25th  Sat 26thJan Hue So I arrived in Hue after the night bus getting in around 9am. I knew this would be too early to check in plus it was hammering it down with rain so I got breakfast with 2 Swiss girls before heading off to my hostel. I checked in but my room wasnt ready which was a pain as I was shattered. When I finally got into my room I had a brief nap for an hour </description>

We got driven maybe an hour to the bus station which housed all the night buses to various locations in Vietnam Cambodia and Thailand. The bus left the terminal around half 6. We were on a sleeper bus. I was hoping for a bed but what we got wa</description>

                    <description>Day 125 Wed 9thJan My first full day in Vang Vieng would be spent with David and Sam as the girls were resting after their long and not so enjoyable bus ride. We had decided to go see the Blue Lagoon which is advertised everywhere. The tours say it is 7km away so we figured wed walk it get good exercise whilst seeing the place. In hindsight we think the guides lied. It took us nearly 90 minu</description>
