We (Alex, Jeff and I) have left Bangkok with much heartache and have now entered Cambodia. For the first time on this trip I’m actually somewhere new, somewhere that I have to figure out from scratch. Finally! Real travel! To enter Cambodia overland from Thailand we took a bus to the border town of Aranya Prathet. That part of the journey was fantastic: cheap, easy and hassle-free. The only hitch occurring when Alex left his wallet in the seat of the bus. Fear not, he did get it back, but only after suggesting to the bus driver that he call the [View Full Entry]

Disclaimer: This post is really quite long, sorry about that. I just really like Bangkok and have a lot to say about the place. How about you go and get a drink or use the bathroom before starting out. The Food The Good: Well now, everyone who knows me knows that I love to eat food; lots of food. To be honest though, I've been underperforming on that front lately and Jeff seems to be the driving force behind our gluttony, what with him demanding that we eat at least once every hour and a half (which mind you makes it [View Full Entry]

After leaving Gladstone on Monday, I (Matty) had a totally uneventful train ride to Brisbane. I guess all the fun of the weekend had worn me out too much so I basically just sat around and read my book.

Well then, it has finally happened. I’ve escaped Townsville (no insult intended to all those left behind) and started the supposed ‘adventure of a lifetime’. So far the experience has been fairly unglamorous, however I’m sure that as soon as my feet hit Thailand the feeling will sink in. So you ask, what’s happened so far. After the totally awesome (up until I fell asleep) going away party last week I spent my time saying fond goodbyes to my friends and family until my overnight train to Gladstone on the Thursday.

Hi everyone, and welcome to our travel journal. Jeff and I will attempt to update this site as often as possible for your reading pleasure. Jeff left Townsville a couple of days ago on the overnight train so for him the adventure has already begun. I on the other hand have to wait until after christmas for the joy of spending 24 hours in a moving metal box with screaming kids as a soundtrack. I can't wait. I'll be in Gladstone on the 12th of January and then Brisbane on the 15th. Then on the much anticipated 17th of January we [View Full Entry]
