After our doubts nearly got the best of us our guides arrived in a tuk tuk with our three other trekkers a Swiss guy and a CanadianThai couple. One of the guides spoke very good English the other a bit and off we headed. Just being picked up raised our spirits a bit and it seemed our companions were a good bunch. Then the rain stopped The tuk tuk drive took us back towards the Buddha

The train ride actually seemed to pass much quicker than that awful bus ride. I slept most of the way. We shared a 6 person sleeper cabin with a middleaged Chinese couple and the parents of a young Chinese family. We waited for a while until we had dinner on the train which was pretty good as we watched the scenery of Southern China disappear into the night. The next morning we had a breakfast of

Set our alarms so Ellie could be out by 9am to collect her bag from her friend Tim. He owns a fabulous resort in Ko Samui and we'd thought it would be safer getting it delivered there rather than our Guesthouse but over the last few days we've got to know the family here at Beach Bungalows and they're such nice people. They're so kind to their pets they even own the dog that layed an egg and al

The next afternoon after waking up with both a hangover and slight altitude sickness we took a taxi to the legendary Napa Hai lake. There are only two ways of getting to NapaHai one is by horse and takes three hours the other is by cab and takes 30 minutes. To be honest with the cold the altitude sickness and the slight hangover a horse ride was not the best idea so we settled for the overp

After the painful wait at Kuala Lumpa for 10 hours overnight I arrived in Cambodia. It was like stepping into a butterfly house because it was so hot and humid. It really is a beautiful country and because it hasnrsquot been long since the rainy season everything is really green.
