Curiosity to Travelling Malta..???
I never Visited this place but i will soon visit this place because after this article my curiosity to visit this place is now high. I am Scott Adlhoch and i love to explore new places. The Article is very good and i am now the Fan of this Blog. Thanks for sharing the Information.

You are my hero
I'd love to visit these ice hotels! There is something really invigorating about being cozy and frozen at the same time. I'm sorry you didn't see the Northern Lights but it shouldn't take away from your overall experience. Come to Canada next time and you'll see them for sure! Skol!

Thanks for the details...
I've wondered how one gets ready for bed and then sleeps when the room is below zero. And sorry about your missing the northern lights. Maybe next year in Norway.

Nice picture
Très belle image, la qualité est vraiment très bonne (tout comme le reste du site). Félicitation à tous ceux qui y ont participer ! Le vietnam est vraiment un très pays très beau qu'il faut aller visiter ! Treck au vietnam

Great blog Clare. Great to read & see your pics!

WTF?
That makes no sense!!! But I'm loving your confusion over bidet issues. I never thought I'd like a drop toilet until I tried one, now I love them, hate our conventional toilets, especially in public restrooms.

Heat Wave!
Hi Claire, oh how I enjoy both your blogs! On a train to Edinburgh and the others must be wondering what I'm stupidly sniggering at. Reminds me of great times on our travels! Absolute heat wave here! I really hope I don't read tonight they got you in the small print and by Glyn eating a sausage made out of some spurious meat - ?wombat sausage, you are compelled to buy a property! Look forward to next instalment.

To Bad...
...that you missed the aurora, especially after enduring all that cold and wind (quite a trademark of our northern countries). I hope your next trip to the north will yield better results. :)

Nin was our source
Nin was the one who told us Indiana Jones was filmed there. I emailed Nin last night but haven't received a response yet. Common sense even tells you that "Temple of Doom" couldn't have been filmed there. It was filmed in 1983-84. At that time, Cambodia was less than halfway through a war with Vietnam, there were landmines everywhere and Cambodia certainly didn't have any good relationships with western countries yet. When the "Tomb Raider" movie WAS filmed there, it was 2000-01 and the political/social climate would have had time to change as it would have been 10 years after the war with Vietnam had ended. Travel websites all over the internet say "Temple of Doom" was filmed there. But movie websites don't say that. I think it's like the game of gossip how the information got distorted. "Tomb Raider" is similar to "Raiders of the Lost Arc" which would get someone to say "Indiana Jones" which could then lead to someone saying "Temple of Doom" since it's the only Indiana Jones movie taking place in Asia. "Tomb Raider" was definitely filmed there as it's easy to find movie pictures at that tree.
