Fuzhou, China

Image
  We arrived to China after a long day of travelling, a stopover in Guangzhour and then onward to Xiamen. We had an overnight stay booked in Xiamen and planned to move on to Fuzhour the next day. As we arrived to the airport we figured out we needed to get a shuttle to the train station that was close to our hostel. The information desk were reluctant to help us and didn't speak much English. We eventually showed a picture of the train station and asked for a ticket. We arrived at the train station and got on our 'Maps.me' app to find our hostel. It showed us that we were a 9hr walk away!! Wed only gone and got off at the wrong station! So back on the train to the right one! Trying to find the hostel after a LONG day of travelling was less than fun! Carrying heavy bags traipsing back and forth trying to follow the app finally became futile and I stopped dead in my tracks and declared 'OK, im fed up of this!' We gave up on the idea of finding our accommodation...

Luang Prabang

The boat dropped us to shore at Luang Prabang at about 5pm.  Instead of going all the way to the town it dropped us about 10k outside it. Giving the local tuk tuk drivers some business. We hoped on with a load of Irish actually one Dutch, one Brit and an American dude who looked like 'The Dude' from the Big Lebowski. Was a good laugh as the majority of them were drunk. Beside us though were the Irish couple from the guest house! We had accommodation booked in Khonsavan Guest house (4 bed dorm). The rest of them didn't so when we arrived the Irish couple hopped off to see if our place had some space. They did not! Off they went in search of somewhere to stay but not before exchanging facebook names! When they were settled in a place nearby they messaged us about going for some food with them. We strolled through the night market and ate in some local place which was lovely. We all played it safe with some veg rice! Went for a drink, had a great chat with them. The ...

From Bangkok to Koh Tao

Image
Arrival to Bangkok was smooth baggage was there waiting for us, grabbed a taxi pretty quickly and we were feeling so good about our night in Bangkok, hotel was a bit tricky to find but once we got there we were relieved to find a comfortable room and great shower facilities!! Too late to venture out we opted for an early night to catch up on our sleep! Up early now to see this wonderful city.....only we woke up at 3.45 the following day following disrupted but heavy sleep! With one hour till it was dark we ran to reception asking what was close, she directed us to the MbK centre. So it's a big indoor market, all stalls selling high quality knock offs! Interesting enough so we had a little wander some food and very proudly walked back to or hostel! Found the city very safe, people so friendly and helpful and would have liked to have seen more of it but wahay we are on our way to Koh Tao via an overnight train and a ferry! Don't manage to bag a bed but a fairly comfortable seat w...
