We decided to go and see a few sights ourselves today despite it being a lot of walking. So after breakfast we set off for the 8km walk to the meditation centre. We went the wrong way though and did a good 3km extra than what we needed! On the way we ... Read more >

I got up earlier than Liam today to go have an hour on the beach before check out. It was a really nice hour laying by myself on the sand and it was early enough for the beach to be emptier and late enough for the sun to be nice. We packed up, checked ... Read more >

Not much to write for today really, we had another beach day today only I stayed in the shade of the palm trees and Liam did a little bit of sunbathing on and off. It was a really nice day, we read, listened to music, had the most amazing ... Read more >

We both slept fairly well lastnight considering the potential for disaster. The train was quieter than the last one, but we were disturbed at I think from around 5am ish by the Vietnamese men waking up. They all seem to speak very loudly, half the time ... Read more >

Another leisurely get up today, just plodded along this morning and spent the morning getting sorted and packing for 12pm check out. We were able to leave our bags in reception for the day which is helpful because our taxi isn't until 8.30pm so we have ... Read more >

Lastnight we watched a walking dead episode so I was a bit late getting onto Skype. Liam fell asleep during my conversation with them, I was on for an hour and it was great! It was just like being with them only they got to eat cake and I didn't! I ended ... Read more >

We both slept like a log lastnight, we were so tired. The bed is massive again and we were both so tired we were asleep as soon as the lights were out. I woke up when the alarm went off, no sooner...and Liam was about a meter away from me! We both really ... Read more >

After another wonderful breakfast we checked out and met our biker guides for the day. All of our bags were strapped onto the bikes, helmets on and off we went. The route was so much better than what we would have taken on the bus as well as the ... Read more >

Apparently it rained a lot lastnight but neither of us heard a thing, we slept really well again. I've had better nights sleeps in the boat than anywhere else since leaving England. We went for breakfast which turned out to be a 'pre breakfast' ... Read more >

We both had a really good nights sleep, not enough but a good one! Waking up on the boat was disorientating at first but then you look out of the window and the sea and the view was stunning. We had a wonderful breakfast, it was way too much food. It ... Read more >

Breakfast is included in our stay here so we stuffed our faces at the all you can eat breakfast buffet. We were so tired but got up just so we didn't miss the free food which was a pretty good job really because there was quite a lot of variety and the ... Read more >

We decided to have a nice lie in today because we didn't need to check out until 12pm and we didn't get to sleep until late. Unfortunately I woke up nearly 2 hours earlier than I had to but it was still nice as I could just relax in bed and ... Read more >

I forgot to add that yesterday we decided to take a look at the top of one of the towers that serves food and drink looking out over the city. We took one look at the menu and when we saw we'd be paying about £3 for a glass of coke we decided ... Read more >
