Mekong River – Chiang Khong to Pakbeng The Mekong river seemed like a perfect setting for our border crossing to Laos; beautiful scenery, green mountains and lush vegetation, what better way to travel from Thailand to Laos than by a river cruise. Our boat was lovely with ornate wooden carvings all around, I have to […]
Read MoreBangkok From the beautiful Southern Islands of Thailand we headed inland to spend a couple days in crazy Bangkok. It was really busy and I didn’t think it felt very homely, it was an urban jungle. We spent the first day there in the only “hipster” place we could find which was the largest market […]

After our flight from San Francisco where we crossed the international date line and completely skipped the 19th December we safely landed in Fiji! Fiji was my favourite place so far… Actually maybe I should rephrase that – the Fiji islands were my favourite places so far. The main land was a bit shocking, almost […]
