Continuing my trip down memory lane, and after feeling like we didn't get a fill of kayaking in our "hike, bike and kayak tour" in Vietnam, we decided to do a day trip to kayak through the mangrove forests and it turned out to be quite a little adventure. I only took the go-pro for … Continue reading Up A Mangrove Without A Kayak
Lockdown is, as I am writing this, still pretty much in place in Scotland, where I am from. With all the madness happening in the world just now I am just looking for a way to have a bit of a break from real issues and look back at my travels in 2017. Black Lives … Continue reading Like Travelling in Time
The events of this post happened way back in 2017 when we were on our trip of a lifetime, I am not currently travelling and do not advise travelling at the moment. I am just taking the time to go back and write some of these blogs as a way to keep myself entertained during … Continue reading Ha Long To Be Back At The Bay
Our first day in Hanoi, we had actually been meant to go onto Halong Bay but due to some bad weather our tour was swapped around a little and we went for a bike ride instead of doing that after Ha Long Bay. I didn't take many photos of this bike tour as I found … Continue reading Hanoi-ed?
Admittedly by this point in our travels we were perhaps becoming slightly travel weary, in fact I think it was while we were in Hue that we actually decided to take a travel break, so perhaps due to that or perhaps due to other factors I wasn't terribly impressed with Hue. The night we arrived … Continue reading Didn’t Take My Breath A-Huế
I have not written a blog in months now. I have been retraining and doing things that don't really belong on this blog, but I had thought I could keep this up during it, but that was really too much. So things have settled down a little now and I am hopefully back, to at … Continue reading It Has Been A While
We arrived to Hoi An fairly late at night, however when we did arrive we were pleasantly surprised at the hotel. The hotel itself was a rather lovely building but when we got to our room we found it had been prepared in such a way to make it feel special. There were flowers on … Continue reading Take Me Back To Hoi An
We didn't visit many traditional museums on our Asia trip. We did visit a number that were part of a historical building or dedicated to a specific purpose (such as the Genocide Museum in Cambodia), but very few that were more general. However I mentioned in a previous blog that as part of our ticket … Continue reading Matsumoto Museum
We had the good fortune, being British citizens, that we were able to visit Vietnam without having to pay for a visa for 15 days. Now, we were all for visiting for free, but in order to avoid paying to stay any longer and ensure that we saw everything we wanted to we decided to … Continue reading Good Morning Vietnam
I am afraid I have no pictures for this blog, even the feature picture is one from the free picture gallery. But our border crossing from Cambodia to Vietnam was such an interesting experience I thought I would share it. We started out by leaving our hostel on time instead of early as we had … Continue reading An Interesting Border Crossing
