Firstly, apologies I have been so slack in my posts. I have been working my behind off for the past nine months. I am currently at home in the UK and working on a farm, all day every day (no exaggeration here). It's relentlessly hard work so my blogging has been put to the side... Continue Reading →
Brunching and bronzing at Potato Head Lounge, Bali
The first thing that comes to mind when I see 'Potato Head', is this guy. An odd name for a beach club but definitely one you'll remember. The Potato Head Lounge is located just off the beach in Seminyak. It is a little tricky to find the first time you go there, as there is... Continue Reading →
My experience at Care For Dogs, Chiang Mai
This was my best day in Chiang Mai... Actually this was my best day in Thailand... Perhaps my best day in the whole of SEA. After a week in Pai, we arrived back in Chiang Mai and I was in search of things to see/do. My biggest passion in life is dogs, so when I... Continue Reading →
Chiang Mai Sunday night market
This market is not for the claustrophobic or the enochlophobic. Once you step into the crowd, it’s like being caught in a current. You just have to travel with the crowd and go with the flow. If you want to look stop, step well over to the side, otherwise you’ll probably get trodden on. Penetrating... Continue Reading →
Pai Canyon
I love Pai! I came to here two years ago whilst on a tour but only stayed for a few days. It was during rainy season back then, so it’s great to see Pai in the sunlight and not have to carry an umbrella. A quiet mountain town, Pai definitely has its own feel and... Continue Reading →
Getting the night train to Chiangmai from Bangkok
I'll be completely honest, I'm not a fan of Bangkok. It has it's moments but mostly I find it too busy and too alike the traffic congestion in London. It doesn't really do Thailand justice. A few people may disagree with me and that's fine, that's just my personal opinion. 🙂 We stayed in Bangkok... Continue Reading →
Monkey Forest, Ubud
Let's be honest, you can't go to Bali with out visiting Ubud. A strong statement yes, but it's a justified one! One of my must-see attractions in Ubud is the Monkey Forest. The entry fee is 50,000rp and it takes around half an hour to walk around the whole forest. I like monkeys but they... Continue Reading →
Uluwatu temple and one of the best beaches in Bali
South of Bali, you'll find Uluwatu Temple and a handful of beautiful hidden beaches. Some are a little hard to find and do involve some scooter off roading, but they are totally worth it. The drive to Uluwatu from Kuta is a bit scary as it's on all of the main roads but it's much... Continue Reading →
Echo beach and bike browsing in Deus, Canggu
Echo beach is one of my favourites in Bali. Located in Canggu, it's very easy to get to, great for surfing (although I just watch) and not overly crowded... oh and there are dogs everywhere. The sand here is a beautiful grey colour. I know the words beautiful and grey don't usually go together, it's... Continue Reading →
Tegenungan waterfall – don’t worry be sexy, but not naked
A quick search on any social media for waterfalls in Bali, and you will soon come across the Don't worry be sexy, but not naked sign at the Tegenungan waterfall. I would say it is easily the most popular waterfall to visit in Bali. I came here last year with friends and in comparison to... Continue Reading →
Our last stop, Hanoi
I'll start off by saying, getting there was not easy.If Google Maps tells you you're good to drive down a road, there's a 75% chance you're not. This has happened to us quite a few times on our trip. Also, every now and then we glanced at the map only to see that the road... Continue Reading →
Ha Long Bay
This was our last stop before we got to Hanoi and completed our trip. We had booked three days here so this was our time to relax and let our bottoms rest. This trip has been incredible but my bottom will never get used to sitting on a bike for more than four hours every... Continue Reading →
Hue to Dong Hoi to Vinh
A few posts back I said that Vietnam's roads aren't as bad as what I thought they were... I take it back. The roads are absolutely mental. If you look closely at the photo above, you'll see there are actually piglets in those baskets. I did get a closer image but I deleted it because... Continue Reading →
Hoi An and the full moon lantern festival
Hoi An is with out a doubt my favourite town in Vietnam. It will most likely stay my favourite town too as it's going to be a hard one to beat. We arrived in Hoi An after a terrible thunderstorm. It was like the sky was caving in. We were soaked through and feeling pretty... Continue Reading →
Dalat to Sông Cầu – goats on the roads and no room at the inn
The further north we travel, the prettier Vietnam seems to get. We left Dalat in the rain and luckily seemed to drive out of it. Our ponchos were used for only two hours that day which is a new record. We decided to take the coastal road instead of the mountains as it seemed a bit... Continue Reading →
