Well, so, we ended up making our way back to Dalat to decide what to do next. ‘The group’ were still there as they were about to take the same journey as us either two days or three days later. We had friends who were already in Hoi An, who we had been in contactContinue reading “Onwards And Upwards”

The Weather Was Catching Us
We arrived into the city at a sociable hour this time, after having a very surprisingly pleasant journey, we checked into our hostel ‘Hangout’. We stayed in Ho Chi Minh for four nights. If you’ve lost what month or day it is, so had we at this point, end of October we are there abouts.Continue reading “The Weather Was Catching Us”
Lovely Jubbly Villa Hostel Review
We only stayed at this hostel for two nights but for those two nights it had everything we wanted and needed for this part of our trip. We just wanted somewhere comfortable to have a bit of a chill before we were to move on to Vietnam. They have six bed mixed dorm rooms soContinue reading “Lovely Jubbly Villa Hostel Review”
Monkey Republic Hostel Review
This hostel was in a great location in the middle of Kampot town. It was modern, clean and felt very private and secure. As we were out most of the day it was nice knowing that our valuables, as well as large bag, were secure to come back to when we had finished for theContinue reading “Monkey Republic Hostel Review”
Arcadia Backpackers & Waterpark Hostel Review
This hostel is a particularly popular hostel for backpackers. It is set on the banks of the river around fifteen minutes moped ride of the town centre. It does get pre-booked as it is so popular. We went in the rainy season and we couldn’t get in when looking five days in advance. If youContinue reading “Arcadia Backpackers & Waterpark Hostel Review”
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”
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”
What’s This All About?
I decided to write, on top of my normal location blogs, a series. A story if you will, of my travel journey. Short blogs, only a page long, not a strenuous read. But hopefully to give other travellers an insight into the nit and gritty of my experience I had. You may find it useful.Continue reading “What’s This All About?”
