The last couple days in luang prabang have been good, but so far nothing tops today. We have been hanging out with two American guys, Kevin and Alex, and a guy from Belgium, guillom, who we met on the gibbon experience. We all just kind if had the same itinerary so we have decided to […]

so from Chiang Mai we went up to Chiang rai, even further north in Thailand. Our first night we just hung out and went to the night market and explored town. The next day we decided to rent a motorbike again and go to ride elephants. We had a great time! We did an hour […]

sorry these posts have been lacking, this website, my phone or the Internet is not always working properly and sometimes decides not to let me post. From koh phi phi we all went to railay beach…. Well actually we stayed at tonsai beach, the next beach over. Railay beach area has tons of limestone cliffs […]

Tasia and Angie have joined our travels for a couple weeks and it is great!!! They got in and we spent one day in Bangkok. We met Joe and jib for lunch, took a ferry over to wat arun the temple of the dawn, then went down to khao sun road to shop at the […]

So this morning Chelsy and I got up and decided we should go to the weekend market. It is one of the largest markets in Thailand with over 8,000 stalls! They sell everything. We didn’t buy much or stay too much as it is sooo crazy there, but it is definitely cool to see. We […]

We had a couple days to kill before our day with jib and Joe and before Tasia and Angie fly in so we headed to kanchanaburi, mostly famous for the bridge over the river Kwai. We settled in to our guesthouse which was really cool because they are little huts over the water! We went […]

Well Chelsy and I made it through the night at our horrible hong kong hostel……. Barely! The bathroom smelled so bad that neither of us brushed our teeth and we waited for the airport to go to the bathroom, so it’s a good thing we headed there straight away in the morning. Next thing you […]

our last day in Yangshuo was good, we headed up to yangdi to try to go on a walk to another town on the river. There are three ferry crossings that go along with this hike. But when we asked how much it cost they told us 90 Kwai each!! That’s about $17 usd!!! To […]

So we’ve had some days of relaxing and we’ve done some biking in the country among the gumdrop mountains. One day we biked out to where you can hire a raft and went on an hour raft ride down the river. It was so fun. It’s these really long bamboo rafts and there’s about 10 […]

We got on our 26 hour train and four out that it was colder inside the train than outside in the cold air! We now call this train the meat locker train! We did our time well though with lots of reading, rummy and chatting with the locals. The people on the train were some […]

Summer: rabbit or gorilla? (when discussing what type of fur is on any type of clothing)  General trip quote: who’s got it better than us? No one Jan. 19: Summer: this is so crazy! It’s Ike everyone is doing a penguin walk and trying to get there a few seconds earlier for nothing….. Oh I […]

I do not recommend taking an overnight train in a hard seat in china. We had a sixteen hour train ride to get to Chengdu where the giant panda research base is. We couldn’t get a sleeper like w wanted so instead just took a hard seat which was hard!! Haha! In china people aren’t […]

Today we headed out with every intention of biking around the city walls of Xian. We gotto the south gate and found out they no longer are renting bikes, I think either because it’s winter or because they have their new years eve decorations up. We headed up the city walls anyways so we could […]
