Hello all! We managed another bus! But this time it was during the day...which we found out is even worse!!! The journey took seven hours and seemed to last forever. At times, we were crawling up mountainsides with no tarmac road to speak of and a sheer ... Read more >

Firstly, sorry for the confusion over the 'Hell-bus'. To be specific, it is so-called because when you wake up you feel more than disgusting, you have to watch your bags for robbers, no sleep, bumpy roads, beeping- and on top of all this, you get to ... Read more >

For our last day in Hoi An, we planned to go to the beach again and lie in the sun. Beach towels at the ready and sunglasses on, we stepped out of our windowless and soundproof room, only for Elodie to hear Zack exclaim 'Holy Guacamole!'- there was a ... Read more >

After our last day in Hue, we decided that because we loved motorbiking so much and we were so fed up of buses, that we would take up the offer of a ride to Hoi An on the back of motorbikes. This would take a whole day but the riders would stop at several ... Read more >

We have arrived in Hue! As soon as we got off the overnight bus after a slightly uncomfortable ride (the bus driver kept beeping REALLY loudly throughout the night and the roads are very bumpy) we were surrounded by people asking us to come to their ... Read more >

Sorry we havn't blogged in a while; we have been very busy! As you know, our tour to Halong Bay had to be cancelled because of the Typhoon, but we were assured that on Monday the weather would be fine and we would FINALLY be able to go. So on Saturday, ... Read more >

Sorry for the radio silence, it has been a busy couple of days. So we got on our plane to Vietnam! We were both very excited to be somewhere new and couldn't wait to start exploring! Hanoi is absolutely CRAZY but in a really good way! There are so many motorcycles ... Read more >

So now we know the meaning of the phrase 'i'm sweating buckets'... Chiang Mai was not what we thought it would be, not in a bad way though. It was suprisingly quiet and small for a city although having come from somewhere as vast as Bangkok, it is easy ... Read more >

Good morning from Chiang Mai! This is probably the earliest that we have started this holiday which is surprising considering the eleven hour over-night bus journey that we have just endured. On to that later though. So yesterday, we decided to seize ... Read more >

We're heeeere! I guess we should start from the beginning...The flight was long and exhausting (for Zack specifically...) but a can of 'Mountain Dew' in Muscat made it slightly bearable. Muscat was HOT HOT HOT, after being outside for about 2 minutes ... Read more >

So here we are! Only a few hours left until we leave for the airport so we thought we'd write our first log to say goodbye England and goodbye everyone! Thank you to all of you who have sent us texts or messages on Facebook, we will miss you all so ... Read more >
