Continued from here. So from Valladolid it’s very easy and quick to get to Chichen Itza, It’s only about an hour drive and there are plenty of collectivos running. I would recommend the 7am bus, getting you there just before the doors open. This probably means a little more queuing than if you arrived 15 […]
Read More Mexico – A Blissful Holiday Pt.3 Chichen Itza and Ik KilI left Thailand from Pai, taking the slow boat into Laos, a popular way to across into the northern end of the country. You’ve got to get lucky with this boat, as the people you meet are likely to be your friends for the next couple of weeks. So getting the bus and boat over […]
Read More Laos Pt1: Luang PrabangContinued from here The casino, the only part of the Chinese plan that seems to have been built, sits on it’s own looking rather weather worn and dated. It’s the only place that we found that sold food, so we had a little bite and marvelled at the bad interior design. The next is a […]
Read More Cambodia Pt6: Kampot Pt2The last stop in Cambodia, before we headed into Vietnam was a very pleasant little town known as Kampot. I spent for the first couple days with a friendly German girl before being joined again by Nico. We stayed in a hostel that had been recommended to me over a year before by a Spanish guy […]
Read More Cambodia Pt5: Kampot Pt1Continued from here. Wanting a little less smoke in the air, I headed back to the mainland again, but this time wanted to stay down with some new friends in Otres beach, a couple of kilometres south of Sihanoukville. At first I was worried there would be little to do, but the community along the […]
Read More Cambodia Pt4: Sihanoukville Pt2On to Sihanoukville, another bus, but clearly not a bad one as I remember nothing of it. I did leave Jess behind here, but was re-united with Nico who I’d travelled Laos with and a few old good friends. The first place in Sin-Ville, as it’s jokingly known as, we stayed was possibly the cheapest […]
Read More Cambodia Pt4: Sihanoukville Pt1So, another long and uncomfortable bus over to Phnom Penh. However, this one had to be one of the nicest. The coach had beds in it, admittedly they were slim and you had to share, but thankfully I had someone with me that I didn’t mind sharing with. There was a tiny little TV in […]
Read More Cambodia Pt3: Phnom PenhThe first part of the Siem Reap article is here The Lady Temple (Banteay Srei) was the next stop off, a much less spectacular stop, but the gardens make it impressive in a very different way. Much more peaceful and relaxing than the other temples. It’s quite a long way from the others, so you […]
Read More Cambodia Pt2: Siem Reap Pt:2As always, the bus through from 4000 Islands in Laos down through half of Cambodia is pretty horrendous, definitely in the top ten of worst trips. We won’t bore you with the details, it’s always the same story. But arriving was a rather more pleasant experience.
Read More Cambodia Pt1: Siem ReapCambodia is an amazing country surrounded by amazing countries. But what makes it our favourite? Simply, it’s the balance of tourism, temples, history, beaches, exploration and pure unspoiled natural beauty. It has something to offer for a lot of people, with Siem Reap and Phnom Penh drawing in huge crowds for the epic temples and […]
