On route to Kho Samui we stopped for ‘One Night in Bangkok’ (song available on request!). Unfortunately after all day on a bus we certainly didn’t hit it with a bang. We ended up in bed at 11pm after falling asleep in a tuk tuk on the way to a bar that ended up not [...]
Up at 4.40am this morning to watch the sunrise….hardcore!!!! Spent the morning in and around the temples of Ankor in Cambodia. They are really spectacular and amazing…but by 12pm we were a little templed-out. We’re gonna head back for the sunset tonight but feel one day is enough for the non-temple enthusiast, especially in the [...]
Mr Roland has just signed up for a blog with Google’s Blogger. After a little convincing we realised his moans about ‘couldn’t be arsed’ were useless as it literally takes 1 minute!
So everyone, you are 1 minute away from your very own website…and it’s so easy that i’m even expecting my Mum to be signing [...]
I took a little trip up to the deserted mountain village of Bokor today. Armed with my 125cc motorbike i ventured into the national park and up the road that they describe as ‘not for beginners for the first 25km’. What they mean is there is no fucking road! There used to be a road [...]

Christmas just doesn’t seem like Christmas any more! For the last few years i’ve been blaming it on working all through the holidays, or that i’m in tropical climates, but the number of decorations and Christmas trees around should surely inspire the spirit in me.
However, due to my wisdom and vast intelligence that backs it [...]
Oh well my faithful fans. Unfortunately i think you may have to wait a while for the rest of my photos. Net access in Cambodia isn’t too quick the few places i have been so i may not get round to uploading anything for a while.
So far Phnom Penh seems quite cool - there is [...]
Just took a 2 day cruise through the Mekong delta which was really cool. Saw lots of cool stuff on the way - how to make coconut candy, an Cham weaving village, honey making village and of course lots of water!
However, the downside of that is there is lots of sitting down on hard seats…my [...]
On our first day in Saigon we visited the well-known ‘War Remnants Museum’. Spending just a few hours walking round was enough to completely change my perspective of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people, as well as further making me wish for peace around the world.
To say that the material on display is any less than [...]
