Gap Year 2004

Me and Deaj organised to take a couple of days off work and head out to the Blue Mountains for a bit of fresh air. James really enjoyed his trips there, so it really had to be done. We shot over on a train to Katoomba, one of the larger towns in th...

Wednesday 11th April I Woke at 5am as train rattled into Hanoi. I met Aaron and Natalie at the front of the station and we took a taxi back to the same hotel, where we had breakfast because nowhere else was open before 8am. Then I took a ta...

 

Our 2007 UK and Europe Trip

This trip took us further south west of Norwich than we have to date with our first stop, Sudbury and more specifically the Thomas Gainsborough Museum. Gainsborough was born in 1727 and went on to become England’s foremost portrait and landscape artis...

 

BANGERS

Bangkok - well what can we say about Bangers that hasn't been said already? We weren't overly inspired to do much in Bangkok - so we didn't until Christian and Emily arrived on the 17th June. Our fist visit to Bangkok was spent walking up and down ...

 

Southeast Asia 2006/07

Well after arriving from the so clean city of Singapore, I quickly made my way to the southern bus station direct from the airport. I caught a bus to Damnoen Saduak and the following morning booked out a boat from a nice man Aree (081 9415952). That...

Sarah's big adventure

Having finished with Ayutthaya, we arrived in Chiang Mai last week, and have been staying in an amazingly clean guesthouse that's only 190 Baht per night (about 3 pounds) so we're rather pleased with that. It's a fair bit cooler up here as well, so we...

 

flying north for summer

We've been reading more about the history of this place, and yesteray went to a film about Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, so we're slowly managing to understand a bit more of the dismal past of Cambodia - although the more you learn about it the less it ...

 

Around the world...

Arriving in Dalat was a bit odd as it is right up in the Highlands and is about 10 degrees cooler than we have been used to. We had a great couple of days there. The town is pretty quiet but there are some great waterfalls and lakes in the area around ...

 

Australasia and South East Asia... a continuation on a toilet theme

Homogenity very much defines shopping in Thailand, and the floating market outside Bangkok was no exception. Repetitive photo album designs, countless fake Rolex's and wood-rounded candlestick holders abound, I must've seen them all in at least 50 di...

 

The Big Oh-Eee

I drank more Guinness than I have ever even SEEN in my life, but it would be rude to go to Dublin and not have one! Plus it was the cheapest drink in every pub which is the main reason we kept drinking it rather than switching to something else! ...
