3rd July – 5th July 2018 After leaving Koh Lanta, we set off towards our next destination. As it was early, we tried to get some sleep, but I always find it difficult on buses. Just as I managed to shut my eyes, we arrived in Krabi again. Annoyingly for us, we arrived in Krabi …
1st July – 3rd July 2018 After getting picked up from our guest house in Ao Nang, we were taken to Krabi, which didn’t take us very long. When we got there, we had to get off the bus and change to another one. What we weren’t told at first, though, was that we had …
29th June – 1st July 2018 After boarding our plane on time, we ended up sitting and waiting on the runway for a while, before take off. Before we took off, Joe was asleep, but that’s standard routine now. I waited until we were in the air, so that I could get my laptop out …
24th June – 29th June 2018 After Kamnat had dropped us off at the bus office, we got on a mini bus to the main coach station. Once we arrived there, we were moved onto a bigger coach, to head towards Siem Reap. The journey lasted a few hours, with a short break half way …
15th June – 24th June 15th June After a few stops for toilet breaks and food, and a few naps, we made it from Phnom Penh to Battambang in about five and a half hours. As our time in Battambang was mostly for spending time volunteering in a school, we didn’t have anything booked for …
12th June – 15th June 2018 After getting on the bus in Ho Chi Minh city, we had a few hours on the bus until we arrived at the Cambodian border. We were spoken to in another language (maybe Vietnamese) so we had no idea what we were supposed to do, but we just followed …
9th June – 12th June 2018 After setting off from Hoi An at 6pm, we arrived in Nha Trang at 5.15am, the following morning. We managed to get some sleep on the bus, but I didn’t sleep as well as I have done on other sleeper buses. When we arrived in Nha Trang, we were …
7th June – 9th June 2018 Getting the local bus to Da Nang was 10,000 dong more expensive than we planned because we had to pay for our luggage too (making it £1 each overall). This was still cheaper than it would have been to get a taxi up to the bus station, to get …
6th June – 7th June 2018 After our nineteen-hour bus journey, we finally arrived in Da Nang just before 12. Fortunately, we had both been able to get a fair bit of sleep, so we weren’t feeling too bad. Luckily, we got chatting to one of the men that worked on the bus, and he …
3rd June – 5th June 2018 After leaving Sapa, on our sleeper bus, we had a lengthy six hour drive back to Hanoi. We had a short break about half way in, where we were hit by the humidity again – something we hadn’t missed whilst in the cool air of Sapa! We arrived back …
