This post is so extremely overdue its near not even writing it….but I cant handle the thought of my amazing week in Batu Ferringhi being forgotten about in years to come when I look back on this little blog! So here goes….remembering to the best of my ability (Some things were written down at the […]
I walked the 15 hot minutes in peak hour heat down to the bus station to catch a bus to Penang. The walk was easy. The taking my 3 bags up 50 stairs and then back down again just to cross the road? Was not. I was a bit of a sweaty mess on arrival […]
Annnddd Back to the land of left-hand side driving we were!! Megan and I arrived in KL and were ladies on a mission if I had ever seen one. We had exactly 20 hours of manic shopping to do including a little stop in at LOUIS VUITTON…Which of course, needed some quality time! We both […]
We woke up and packed our little overnight bag, got out of Golden Wings 11 hotel and dumped our bags at a hotel down the road ready for our return from Halong…many a lady on the street were out selling fruit and pastries at silly prices but we had been treated to a tasty free […]
Back in Hanoi, our first stop was to pick up our bags from Hanoi backpackers and shower!! Then-take our whole entire backpack to the Laundromat…! $1 a kg for washing not bad not bad…and well overdue! We didn’t have much to accomplish today in Hanoi, but chill out and catch up with my buddy Marty. […]
We woke up excited as ever for an adventure out into the countryside on a motorbike and couldn’t wait to get out there!! We went and hired a scoter from a hideous angry hotel for $5 a day and off we went. Meg’s on the back being captain navigator (thank god for Google maps is all […]
As you can imagine…the roads through mountains are far from straight and our bus driver was a maniac on a mission and his horn was his weapon! Finally we arrived tired, cold and angry at the old Spanish snoring lady at 6am ready to find a place to park up for a couple of days. We were […]
Today we woke up a little worse for wear from the mixture of beer/mystery shots/vodka due to the tails of the night before but it was time to suss Hanoi! I left Meg’s in bed and set off for some sights around the city. First step was to scope out the silversmiths, which were conveniently […]
10 hours later we arrived into Ha noi-apparently. Everybody just hurdled off the bus and Meg’s and I were the only ones left on. I thought it was a toilet stop and Meg’s was faaaaassst asleep-I couldn’t wake her to save myself! Finally I managed to get a couple of ‘nods’ that this is fact […]
Ever since our little British ‘boyfriends’ from our bus trip in Cambodia -who were 19 and it was their first big trip overseas-told us ‘not to be afraid to get off the beaten track’…we have been ‘trying’ to follow their words of wisdom. Today I think we finally managed that! Or just did something really […]
