Good morning Vietnam



Vietnam is very different weather to what we've experienced in Thailand.  It is very humid, so that will take a little getting used to.   We are staying in Da Nang which is located along the coast of the South China Sea.  

With recent bad weather the beach is a definite red flag and too dangerous to enter. 

This morning we've been finding our feet: using a cash machine, buying a SIM and getting some groceries.  Lets just say we will be taking multiple showers a day as its very hot to go for a walk!

We are staying at the Monarque Hotel where we've been before a few years ago.  The hotel rooms are comfortable and you get a lovely morning breakfast and afternoon tea included.  More on the afternoon tea soon!

It can be said that the hotel is enthusiastically decorated, and that also includes the Christmas decorations!









Depending on the weather, we intend to stay in Vietnam until the end of January.  I will keep you updated on our travels.

Sri Lanka: the highs and lows of a month long trip

After a month of exploring Sri Lanka, we've packed our bags, ready to head back to the UK. I want to share some of the highs and lows of our adventure. Highlights Cheap : Our British pounds stretched remarkably far and we only  spent a total of  £1440 per person. The breakdown: £750 - Etihad indirect flights (1.5 hour stop off in Abu Dhabi)  £690 - Bed & Breakfast, dinner, all transport (bus, train, taxi), cultural entrance fees, hospital treatment, laundry and grocery shopping.  The People : Incredibly warm and hospitable, very friendly and eager to help. They really enjoyed stopping for a friendly chat on the street, and we felt genuinely welcomed as English tourists. Scenery : The views were breathtaking, particularly the hill country from a train.  Weather : Consistently hot and sunny. To avoid the intense heat, we found it best to travel very early morning.  Lovely Beaches : Beautiful and clean, though the steep drop off and powerful waves made sw...

Time to go home

I sign off my travel blog with a brief post. Today we are heading home. George snored all night so I had no sleep - just ready for a long flight 😬 Cases are packed and both around 12kg each so well under the limit! 👜 It's been an amazing 4 month trip in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Laos and Cambodia by sea, water, coach and train. 🚂✈️🚌🚢 It's very difficult to say what was my favourite part of the trip but Luang Prabang, Koh Lanta and Langkawi were highlights.  I'm not looking forward to the UK weather and I also need to find a job. But I'm looking forward to seeing friends and family.  Until the next time 👋 Tracy x
