Happy New Year! I hope you all had fabulous celebrations and your resolutions are still going strong. My resolution is to be more self disciplined so I can actually make a proper resolution next year, wish me luck! Anyway back to our exciting adventures! Luang Prabang was our next stop and is absolutely gorgeous. Like […]
Border Patrol 2.0: We left Cambodia and entered Laos on foot, feeling equally badass and slightly sweaty more sweaty than last crossing. What is it with these countries and their humidity, so gross and we haven’t even had time to do washing… Running low on clothes. Their border was very white tile and clinical, very […]
We had a Christmas of two emotions where the morning was spent in somber reflections on millions of lost lives while the afternoon and night was spent with laughs, cocktails and copious amounts of food. But first, Christmas Eve! As many others would have we spent it travelling, though I doubt they were in a […]
MERRY CHRISTMAS! With love from Lauren and Laura in Cambodia! This is what we got up to in Siem Reap. After a close shave with an uncooked piece of chicken at the tour group introduction dinner I was feeling surprisingly chipper for our 6.30am departure. Otherwise that 7 hour journey could have been an interesting […]
Laura our coffee queen exploded coffee in the microwave twice this morning. She’s been demoted. Hopefully it’s not a sign of the day to come as we’re off to the Jj markets. I’m after a winter jacket and it’s 30 plus degrees. Jj markets was overwhelming. Unordered masses of stalls everywhere. We’d made lists of […]
Thursday: Ryan’s no longer legless with ills so we upped our game and sampled street food for breakfast. I know, we know, yes we’ve been warned but we played it street smart and just gazed over the grills of more diverse foods. On the menu baby green mango with a sugar and chilli sauce (more […]
After catching some sleep we’d actually managed to wake at 8am, no jet lag here, don’t be jealous we’re superhuman. We woke up to this view, 25 floor wowwee. On the advice of Laura’s friend Garn all 3 of us set off to catch the BTS Sky Train to Saim Square. Garn attended high school […]
My uncle always flies business class. He swears by it, it’s his one treat for the labours he puts into the Farm. When I said one day I hoped to indulge in a business class fare and have the means to back it, little did I know my dreams would be granted so soon. Thanks […]
Stepping off the coach into Melbourne City, yes city, my heart skipped a beat. Are those people? Is that a department store? Starbucks? Is this heaven? With a late-skim-mocha-soy-frappé-a-chino in hand I took a seat, people watched to the docile tones of bublé which was incredibly fitting (like movie soundtrack appropriate as he’s my hosts […]
My time in Nyah West has come to an end and I’m writing this from a weird curdled milk and perfume smelling, over aircond coach heading for Melbourne- let the adventure begin! This last week has been a battle! I don’t know whether it was the onions, heat, flies, dust, early starts, adventure anticipation or […]
