Joe is in Port Hedland working for a few months to save up to fund the rest of our trip. Just coz he’s working doesn’t mean he can’t sneak in some fishing […]
Back in the Red Dust
outbackjoe
a camping trip of ridiculous proportions
Nha Trang, Vietnam
On the way to Nha Trang we got confirmation of Joe’s job back in Australia so Nha Trang would be our final destination together on our south east Asia trip, about 5 […]
Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam
With word that Joe might have a job to go back in Australia, we jumped on a plane from Hanoi and headed straight to Ho Chi Minh, bypassing most of Vietnam. We […]
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
We did a 2 night, 3 day tour of Ha Long Bay which is about 5 hours trip on the bus from Hanoi. It’s only about 150km but the Vietnamese traffic is […]
Sapa, Vietnam
Onto the overnight sleeper train we go on our way to Sapa in northern Vietnam. We made friends with the couple in our booth on the train and they shared a drink and some food with us. […]
Hanoi, Vietnam
Our time in Laos ended with the new year in Luang Prabang and then a cheap flight to Hanoi in Vietnam. At the Luang Prabang airport it was noticed at the check […]
Luang Prabang, Laos
Luang Prabang is a really nice city. The streets are clean, pleasant to walk along and are lined with nice buildings. There’s heaps of good restaurants and pubs. The pace is slow […]
Luang Namtha, Laos
The road from Vang Vieng to Luang Namtha is long, windy, full of potholes and very slow going. So we stayed overnight in Luang Prabang even though we’d be returning there a few […]
Vang Vieng, Laos
We left Vientiane and headed for Vang Vieng – a town renowned for it’s right-of-passage tubing down the Nam Song River. The tubing route was once lined with many bars, platforms, zip lines […]
Vientiane, Laos
We can see a pattern forming after traveling Laos for a while. Compared to many other places in South East Asia, it’s clean, laid back, uncrowded and with fewer young drunken tourists […]
Tha Khek and The Loop
From Pakse we headed to Tha Khek to do “The Loop”. This is a 400km road trip through rural areas and villages in southern Laos, undertaken on a hired motorbike. The Loop […]
Pakse, Laos
Pakse is a town in southern Laos which serves mostly as a gateway hub for travelers. There’s some temples, waterfalls and small villages to explore in the region. We saw none of […]
Don Det, 4000 Islands, Laos
Our first stop in Laos was Don Det, an island in the Mekong River, part of the 4000 islands group, just across the border from Cambodia. We thought we had seen the […]
Kratie, Cambodia
Kratie was our last stop in Cambodia before heading to Laos. Again we liked rural Cambodia much more than the cities but not a lot to do. There are some organized treks […]
Kampong Cham, Cambodia
Kampong Cham is a nice little town on the Mekong River in Cambodia. The further away we got from the big ticket tourist attractions, the less we disliked Cambodia. Even maybe started […]
