Floating Market

After Phuket it's hard to do anything else but Sherena wanted to go see the floating market and this tour and tomorrow's tour was already booked so we had to attend... 

Phuket + islands

Soooo excited to finally relax for a few days!!

Back to Saigon/Cu Chi Tunnels

We needed to be at the bus station at 7:30 so Roh came at 7, we paid him $1 each plus a little extra for taking us around the last few days

Mekong Express Limousine left on time and gave us each a wet nap, bottle of water and a small box of pastries and they stopped at a restaurant outside of Siem Reap for 20 mins for whatever anyone may need 

Banteay Srey

On our way to Banteay Srey... This temple is about 37km away from Angkor Wat but took about an hour to get to from our hostel

Sunrise at Angkor Wat

Roh picked us up bright and early, he was so chipper at 4:45am while all of us were grumbling to one another… We were told sunrise was at 6:30 so we weren't sure why we'd to leave so early but we would soon find out

We had to have our tickets punched for the day and then we hit the traffic of people doing the same thing we were doing... SOOO many people waiting for the sunrise as well!! (The best place to stand is on the left corner of the Angkor Wat pond, we stood about the middle) You must be patient, bring a snack and if you can find good coffee, bring it! There will be many people ruining the peaceful and quiet ambiance, particularly Chinese people, but you must refrain from wanting to punch someone or pushing them into the pond.... Eventually the sun will rise so don't let those people ruin your moment/experience

Angkor Thom

After Angkor Wat we asked Roh to take us to Angkor Thom, just up the road a bit

The bridge entering Angkor Thom is lined with statues, some of which are being reconstructed

Cambodia/Angkor Wat!!!

Yay!! I can't believe we're finally here!! I really wanted to make this trip count and since I was going to be in Southeast Asia for a few month, I wanted to add something special to my trip. I had read about how beautiful Angkor Wat is and I've seen many breath taking pictures of it and I really wanted to experience myself... So here goes...

Our tuk tuk and our driver, Roh, came to pick us up just before 8am, we quickly finished our breakfast and were on our way 

Vietnam 2

I don't think this city sleeps... We went to bed and the street was still having a party outside, we woke up to the sound of cars, people and recordings of what type of Bahn Mi this vendor was selling

Good Morning Vietnam!

I must apologize for being behind on my blog... Sometimes I don't have wifi connection and I need it to update my blogs so I'm sorry...

Originally I was going to do this trip on my own.... I wanted to go to Vietnam and Cambodia so when I mentioned my plans to Sherena, she asked if she could join. Then her friend Chris said he was coming too... I'm glad for the company and the experience...

Chasing waterfalls

Today is the last day of the tour and the last day in Chiang Mai.. It may seem rushed but we were able to do a lot while here

Today's first stop is Doi Inthanon - the highest spot in Thailand. Formerly known as Doi Luang until the last king of Chiang Mai ordered that his remains be placed in the mountain after his death and the mountain was renamed 

White Wat and more

Good morning!

Elephants, Tigers and Bears... Oh my!

Good morning breakfast/coffee!

Chiang Mai

We're only spending 4 days in Chiang Mai so packing will be easy.. At least I always think so 

Days off in BKK

I only got Sundays off do I did the most that I could with it

Wherever my mom was going, I tagged along or if I wanted to go somewhere, some one would take me

I'll tell you about the places I go to or the things I eat... This is several days in one blog so no I didn't do this in one day
