Sweaty Hostels & Smelly Sick

CAMBODIA | Thu, 6 Jul 2017 | By tigerlillytravels | Views [476]

The day had come to collect our visas from the Thai embassy and it all went without incident. We had to wait quite a while but we pretty much walked in, gave our receipt, waited, and received our passports with a big sticker visa inside. Great. ... Read more >

COLOMBIA | Mon, 10 Aug 2015 | By sheree | Views [440]

Goodbye Nepal

NEPAL | Sat, 26 Oct 2013 | By joannawong | Views [597] | Comments [1]

The flight out of Kathmandu was probably one of the most picturesque I've been on - only comparable to our flight out of Lukla. Thanks to Dad secretly pre-booking the best seats again, I was treated one last time to a wonderful view of the Himalayas, ... Read more >

Namaste Nepal

NEPAL | Fri, 27 Sep 2013 | By joannawong | Views [572]

We've touched down in Kathmandu! The flight in was amazing thanks to Dad's prebooking of the best seats for a view of the Himalayas. Being snowcapped, they were hard to spot at first but you could definitely see Everest and the rest of the world's youngest ... Read more >

Preparing at Home

AUSTRALIA | Sat, 31 Aug 2013 | By longawaited | Views [665]

We had a day in Sihanoukville before we started work. This was a chance to visit the beach and to become re aquainted with one of our favourite snacks - baby squid. A dollar for 5. We paid a small fortune for these in a fancy restaurant in London and they didn't come close!: by andylillicrap, Views[245]
