Otty

Arrived in one piece as the bus ride was a disaster. Tried to get off the bus while loads were trying to get on the bus. I had to hit someone to get them out of the way just so I could get off. Again no organisation in this place. The girls had found a hotel so we went there. The rooms were alright as I had stayed in worse and they had a TV. As it was fairly cold in Otty we changed into our colder clothes and headed out to get some dinner. We went to the Sidewalk café and had a dinner ...

Mumbai

Arrived at 2.30am and after we went through the many checks and scans we made it out of the airport to a sea of people with signs. We tried to find our names but to no avail so someone came over to try and help us by telling us to book another hotel. Another man was help though and found our driver so all was well. We made our way back to the hotel at full speed making sure not to stop at any red lights… Got to our room which had some nice air con ...

Sydney

Arrived in the airport at 6am. When through customs no problem. They didn’t even want to check our bags or nothing. We arranged with Mick that we would ring him when we were going to get the train so we tried to call him and no answer. Lucky Damien had asked him how to get there so we were ok. We got off at Bondi Junction and then got a bus to the hostel. We booked in and then went in search of Mick. We found him asleep and when Damien woke him...

Bangkok

We arrived in Bangkok and got a taxi with Rob to our hostel Suk 11 we got showed to our room but as it was a really popular hostel they had no room for Rob so we walked around for a while trying to find a place for him that wasn’t too expensive as this area was fairly expensive. We got one down the road and then decided to go and get so nutritional food in Burger King (it had been a long time since we had any crap food). Damien’s sister h...

Phnom Penh

Got our $10 bus from HCMC to the border. We got crap seats again. We were sitting right in front of the toilets so we couldn’t put our seats back and the people in front of us did so no room for us. We paid the guide on the bus $25 each for our Cambodian visa cos he filled out all our forms and did everything for us. We stopped at the Moc Bai – Bavet Border. We had to get our bags scanned there as we were leaving Vietnam and give our leaving ...

Hanoi

Arrived in Hanoi airport at 9.15pm and our hotel picked us up. It was a 45mins drive to the hotel which we shared with a couple, 1 from USA and the other from Scotland. We didn’t think the traffic was too bad but we did notice that everyone was beeping a lot. We arrived at the hotel and checked in. Of course we were on the top floor 5 flights of stairs and no help with our bags. We decided to go and get food as we were pretty hu...

She was heading to Bangkok and we thought first she was on our flight but in fact she was flying out 15 mins after us so we arranged to meet her in Bangkok airpo...
