Day 1
Can you guess yet?
Waiting for my flight
Koh tong
Currently on Koh rong Aka paradise island in Southern Cambodia. The beaches here are amazing but the wifi is really patchy. Really beautiful place. There’s been a slight change of plan, and I’m going somewhere new on the 20th but I’ll leave it as a surprise…
Phnom pehn
Ankor wat!
After what was supposed to be a 12 hr bus ride (actually 22h) and virtually no sleep, we arrived in Siem Reap at 5am today. After making out way to the hostel we jumped straight in a tuk tuk and headed to ankor eat for sunrise. Here’s a select few pics. What an amazing place.
Cambodia tomorrow
We’ve booked the bus from Don Det to Siem Reap for tomorrow. I’m nearly out of kip & don’t want to get any more out, so I’m attempting to survive the rest of the day with £2 – including an evening meal. It’s crazy that that’s possible here!
Really excited for Ankor Wat and then heading south
Vang vieng, a Laos wedding & tubing!
Vang vieng is truly a crazy place to be, and home of what is probably the worlds most controversial tourist activity – tubing.
The owner of our guest house invited us to his cousins wedding. They’re quite a lot like English weddings, with loads of food & drinks. We learned the Laos dance (make steps in a square, no movement of hips).
Yesterday was tubing – floating down the river in a giant inner tube, stopping at bars along the way. The weather wasn’t the best & we set off late, so ended up down the river in the dark. Seriously fun though.
Today 6 of us are heading down south to 4,000 Islands in the Mekong river. It’s 20 hours on the bus. First off we go to Vientiane, then a sleeper bus onward. After that Cambodia 🙂
Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng
Beautiful bus ride
