History And Shock

I didn’t realise how much we did in Kampot until I just wrote that chapter. We aren’t even out of Cambodia yet. But have no fear, we only spent two nights in Phnom Penh. It was the time to get our Vietnamese visa and get a history lesson. We took the bus from Kampot upContinue reading “History And Shock”

The Biggest Bruise You Ever Did See

We were on our way from Cambodian paradise back to the mainland again. We headed on another local boat which took us back to shore and when we got off, the minibus hugged the coast line until we arrived in Kampot. This was a recommendation which came so highly from the other group that weContinue reading “The Biggest Bruise You Ever Did See”

Bloat Abroad

There is just something about airports. I don’t know about you but I bloat like a balloon as soon as I even think about getting on an airplane. It’s like a signal to my brain.. you are about to go to an airport. BLOAT TIME. It’s extremely uncomfortable, it can be a real pain toContinue reading “Bloat Abroad”

Another Temple Or Another Beer?

The border crossing was over, we didn’t have to think about that again.. until the next one. Let’s get on an enjoy Cambodia. A new place, new country, new people, new sites to see. So exciting! By the time we got into Siem Reap it was dark. We hopped inside a tuk-tuk, who were waitingContinue reading “Another Temple Or Another Beer?”

Garden Village Guesthouse Hostel Review

This hostel was beautiful. It had lush, tropical gardens surrounded the rooms, reception area and the garden. It wasn’t a mental nightlife hostel like the Mad Monkey brand ones, but it was definitely full of life. The pool area was the nicest part, they had loungers either side of the pool, a bar at oneContinue reading “Garden Village Guesthouse Hostel Review”

Our First Bus Journey and Border Crossing

I felt like this part of the journey gets a blog to itself. It’s only one day in comparison to the other Backpacker Series blog posts. But I feel that we would have benefited a great deal from reading something like this. We had the challenge of the famous Thailand to Cambodia border crossing justContinue reading “Our First Bus Journey and Border Crossing”

Turtle Beach Hotel, Barbados

Turtle Beach Hotel was in a fantastic location, South of the island, an easy walking distance to other beaches and close by restaurants if you wanted to eat somewhere else other than the hotel. The board basis as standard is all-inclusive which gave you access to all the restaurants and bars at the resort. IncludedContinue reading “Turtle Beach Hotel, Barbados”

Hotel Casa Gangotena, Quito

There are many places in Quito which you wouldn’t like to get lost in, Hotel Casa Gangotena isn’t one of them. You could get spellbound by the hotel’s beauty for hours. We had just stepped off the plane and into our taxi. This bought us straight to the San Francisco Plaza; in the center ofContinue reading “Hotel Casa Gangotena, Quito”

Oh My God, We Are In Bangkok

The lead up to the departure date came around slowly for the first couple of months, but when we got into September it suddenly flew. We said the goodbyes to our old jobs and were getting ready to go. I probably repacked my rucksack around twenty times? Maybe more? Do I actually need this? DoContinue reading “Oh My God, We Are In Bangkok”
