We didn’t do an awful lot today, as we spent most of the day travelling to our next destination. When we originally booked this trip over a year ago, the plan had been for us to cross the border from Thailand into Cambodia by coach. However, in the last few months, there have been border…
We were up as soon as the alarm went off this morning, and we got ourselves ready and prepared for all the things we’d need for this long day ahead. Most important was our 500ml water bottles, which we had had chilling in the fridge overnight; we’d need to ensure we drank about 3-4 litres…
As we had a packed itinerary ahead of us today, we had been given a time of 7.30am to be on the coach. We therefore got up at 6.15am and got washed and dressed into suitable clothing for the tropical heat. As we’d be climbing in and out of boats, I decided to take my…
For all those eagle-eyed people who spotted that I said “Emirates flight to Hong Kong” in the previous blog entry, it’s just to let you know that the flight did actually land at Bangkok on the way! 🙂 Although this second flight was actually an hour shorter than the first one, it seemed to be…
After spending the first four days of 2025 in Norway, we had so far this year been no further abroad, the last two cruises we enjoyed being in and around our own green and pleasant land. It was therefore with a great sense of excitement and anticipation that we awoke this morning, as this afternoon…
Not much to write about today. We got up at 8.30am and set about packing all our stuff up in our single large suitcase; I put the broken hot-brush into the bin. We didn’t have to check out of our room until 11.00am, so we pottered around for a while in our room, then went…
OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY We had a lovely day today. Woke up to blue skies and sunshine once again on today, our 36th wedding anniversary. We could think of worse places to be spending it in! 🙂 Tonight we were booked on the four-hour Dinner Cruise, which set off at sunset and included four hours of…
Once again we awoke to another scorcher of a day, as we got up at 8.00am and wandered down to breakfast. I just made do with a couple of slices of toast and jam because, as previously mentioned, the cooked breakfasts are abysmal, but I managed to sneak out a couple of slices of the…
Didn’t do an awful lot today. Got up at eight o’clock as usual, and wandered out onto our balcony where the weather was already very warm; today promised to be another scorcher. We had no excursions booked, and today was Sunday, so we thought we’d wander down to the harbour after breakfast and see if…
We didn’t do a great deal today at all. I don’t know whether it was the hot weather or the after-effects of yesterday’s “booze cruise” or a combination of both, but we got up fairly late this morning (9.00am) and sluggishly made our way to the dining room for breakfast. I avoided the fatty bacon…
