Bus interlude

It’s 4.35am and we’re sat outside, waiting for our bus to Hue. The heavens have decided to open and the rain has been non-stop since this afternoon. Big, fat, heavy drops. And the mozzies have come out to play. Thankfully we are protected by the tin roof, but it would be nice if the owner decided to open his doors to let us in, as promised.

Magical Myanmar

Myanmar (Burma), did not originally feature in our SE Asia plans. We didn’t think we’d have the time. All it took was a recommendation by a friend and a quick Google, to convince us that we needed to make time. And boy, are we pleased we did.

Week 1 in Thailand

We spent a glorious weekend back home in London, catching up with family and friends and gorging on foods we had missed during our South American jaunt (cheese, mince pies, Sunday roast and Chinese take away). Soon enough, it was time to get back on a jet plane, this time heading East to the land of spices, temples and ping pong.

Argentina review

Argentina is the 8th biggest country in the world. It’s massive. We spent almost a month here and could probably spend that time over again and still not do it justice.

Iguazu Falls and our last few days in South America

Iguazu falls, the final big stop on our South America leg. I was never that bothered with seeing the falls, but it was on John’s wish list, so off we went.
