Hi Sam Thanks, yeah it has been a good trip, reached Hanoi now, if you haven't started yet my best advice to you would be to travel from north to south as that is the direction the wind blows! It is probably best you get your maps straight from google, that is all I did, then you can tweak you trip! Good luck, it is a fun ride but pretty cold in the north, well 8-12 degrees.
your travels Your travels and blog are great Iain. You are having a fantastic time by the sound of it and meeting and seeing some great people and places. I loved Cambodia and Vietnam when I was there. The night bus with beds is so amusing isn't it, as is the sleeper train. x Margaret
Hi Margaret Thanks for the comment, yeah it is a fun trip! Haha yeah the night bus is funny, I like the attempt at putting in the beds but maybe if they were an extra foot longer, heading out of Vietnam on sunday so got a 24 hour sleeper bus trip! How long ago did you visit, it seems pretty popular with the Aussies!
Hello treacle, Just looking for a contact number for the Stone Free and your blog popped up. Entertaining reading! How I loved afternoons colouring in, so much so it's all I've done for the last 2 days. Who says drawing spider isn't work?
Happy travels x x x
love 3rd class train I took a 7 hr train ride in 3rd class in 2007--loved it--luckily I had a travel pillow. To me this yet another great way to meet and greet the Local Thais. It seemed as tho there was someone selling something about every 2-3 minutes--really good if you need a drink or packaged food like chips but would never eat anything else on these trains-the second half of my trip was 2nd class and was not a third as enjoyable
Thanks for comment Haha, yeah i didn't end up buying any of the eggs or insects, although i have bought them from the markets and they taste surprisingly good, but I am a sucker for chicken on a stick so when that came round it was an investment I had to make :o)
I am traveling South East Asia for the next 6 Months and hopefully this will keep you informed as to what I am up to, as long as I don't fall to far behind with updating it :o) ... full info
