Yes, that's right. We're millionaires! It's almost 29,000 Vietnamese Dong to the pound so it's not too hard. Alex has already made all the 'Dong' jokes I ever care to hear..... -__- The bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City (otherwise known as Saigon) was very long but thankfully for the most part we were spared the Cambodian music! I must say I loved everything about the country except that... Haha. Saigon is CRAZY. There are 9 million citizens and 6 million motorbikes. We took a video of us crossing the road... an event that's enough to satisfy any thrillseeker! It's absolutely insane the amount of motorbikes that are here. Zebra crossings do not mean zebra crossings, what you have to do is walk slowly and steadily into oncoming traffic and hope they'll go ... read more

...Even if it's raining! Sadly the weather here in Sihanoukville is a bit rainy and wet! But that didn't stop us having an awesome day. If the weather was good we could have had the option to visit some of the nearby islands and go snorkling, as the water here is usually clear and blue - it's very stormy though so we didn't do that, and the other option was visiting a mangrove park which I think would have been beautiful and had some more wildlife to see but we thought we should save our money just in case the weather is better tomorrow... So last night we arrived in Sihanoukville, dropped our laundry in and went for dinner at a beach bar! It was great fun and we had jugs of local beer for $2 ... read more

So it has been a while since we managed to write a substantial entry so we're gonna try and do one now! We don't have too long though and we have borrowed a camera wire off one of our newfound friends. We arrived in Bangkok and as we put in the last blog we had an absolutely CRAZY taxi driver from the airport to our hotel, I actually feared for my life and he didn't seem to know the concept of 'overtaking' ... preffering to weave in and out of traffic like a crazed madman! Our guesthouse in Bangkok was close to the Khao San Road (infamous backpacker ghetto)and we went there, bought some bracelets and got harrassed by lots of people selling those wooden frogs that make a noise when you scrape their back...Alex already ... read more

Alex says that if he hears the phrase in the title one more time then he will punch someone in the face. Ahh such diplomacy. HOWEVER last night we had our free Aromatherapy massages and they were amaaaazing. It was so relaxing and we were massaged all over, even hands and feet! So all in all it was a lovely ending to a day... The night before last we had our first tropical rainstorm. It was quite funny (Kelly thought it was sad) but there was a wedding that day and the heavens opened-the first time it wasn't sunny! Possibly a sign? I chuckled an evil chuckle. *MWhahahahaha* There was thunder, lightning and a lot of water. So we stayed inside, mocking the people dressed to the nine's, all wet, whilst we chowed down on room ... read more
