After my trip around Rhodes, I tasked myself with finding my way into Turkey. I was very keen to see Istanbul but thought it would be nice to take the scenic route. This meant taking a couple of ferries, one to Kos, and the next along to Bodrum. Leaving my trusty quad outside the shop […]
Read More Kos and Bodrum – places to pass throughThis island sits only a short ferry from Athens, and if you’re looking for a break from the big city, you’ll struggle to find a better destination for a couple days. I decided to explore the island after a shining recommendation from a friend, and I’m grateful for it. It’s easy to get to from […]
Read More Aegina – Quiet Greek IslandRecently I had a little time off in Nice on the Cote D’Azur in the south of France. While Nice is a beautiful town with lots to do, I was drawn away to explore Monaco the tiny country only a short bus ride away Monaco is the second smallest country in the world, only 2 […]
Read More Monaco – making a day of itI 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 PrabangThe 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 Pt1The 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 […]
