    We were loving getting the train so far in Thailand, it was reliable, clean and incredibly cheap. Especially for the ordinary 3rd class fan seating. But we were starting to feel the pull of the ocean, since we haven’t worn any of our snorkelling gear, rash vests or swimwear for about 6 weeks now (not…

    In previous visits to Thailand, I had heard about the floating markets in and around Bangkok, but I had also heard that they were very touristy and not really authentic, just tourist attractions. However on our trip south from Bangkok, I decided to give one a go, it’s low season after all, and even if…

    Ten years ago I went solo backpacking through South East Asia. Although I was solo, I made many friends along the way, and was even joined by some friends from home… I came to Ayutthaya with Dan, who was visiting from the UEA at the time. We got the train from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and…

    Last time I came to Thailand I had a second hand pair of mini binoculars I’d bought off eBay for 99p haha, and I went to countless national parks across Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia hoping to see a hornbill, which is one of my favourite birds. In 8 months, I didn’t see a single one 😞…

    We flew from Leh back to Delhi to spend one night near the airport before our onward flight to Bangkok, and unfortunately our Indigo Flight didn’t put ANY baggage on the plane at all… So we all arrived in Delhi with delayed bags. Since we were flying out the next day, it seemed unlikely we…

    We landed from Goa into Delhi, and the airport at Goa already gave us an incline of what was to come… We’d heard that the south of India was more chill and a nice introduction, but we were heading to Delhi, one of the most populous cities in the world. Chaos levels were about to…

    In order to try and save a little bit of money and be more on a budget than we have been so far, (I mean, we have to make our savings last a year to be fair!!). We chose to take the slow ferry from South Ari Atoll back to Malé. This ferry goes from…

    Wow, what a weekend!! What a week!! And honestly it still doesn’t feel real that we’re going… Dave sold his car this week, so this weekend we hired a car from the airport to help us with the last runs to the storage. Emptying the flat took a little longer, and a lot more boxes,…

    Hvar, along with the Plitvic Lakes, was the other crucial place I wanted to visit, mainly because of what I had read about the Pakleni islands and the natural beauty of the ocean here…. It did not disappoint and Pete and I had our best days in Croatia here. We arrived on the ferry into…

    The drive from Plitvice to Split took us down some insanely beautiful roads, as well as roads surrounded by interest and mystery. To avoid any toll roads, we took the D1 again, this time the full length into Split. At some points, we ventured through obviously military towns, which had nobody in them… (aka full…
