I roll out of bed and get ready for what will end up being close to 24 hours of transit before we can crash for the night in the lovely city of Kyoto. That’s right, we’re going back to Japan! Not having to worry about an early morning flight, as we don’t take off untilContinue reading “Day 1 – An All-Nighter Around the World”

Day 9 – Gibbon Experience Part 1
With our things already prepacked, we wake up and have a breakfast already made by the hostel that we ordered last night (mine was pancakes with chocolate sauce and bananas), and go 20 seconds down the street to the Gibbon Experience building to check in and drop off some of our stuff that we won’tContinue reading “Day 9 – Gibbon Experience Part 1”
Day 8 – On the Road
Today is probably going to be the shortest post, as we were basically just in transit between Luang Prabang and Huay Xai the entire day. The morning starts off like ant other, we grab a coffee and a small breakfast before catching a ride over to the train station. The ride over was pretty painless,Continue reading “Day 8 – On the Road”
Day 7 – A Trip To Kuang Si Falls
Although slightly earlier, there wasn’t much special about this morning. Wake up, get ready, grab some breakfast at then hotel, then catch a ride. The ride however, would be taking us about 1 hour out of town over to the Kuang Si Waterfalls. The roads around Laos aren’t exactly stable, and the would be theContinue reading “Day 7 – A Trip To Kuang Si Falls”
Day 6 – Exploring Luang Prabang
Today was originally planned to be a rest and relax kind of day, and though we had picked some thong to do around town the night before, it still more or less stood as such. We wake up in decent time to go grab some breakfast and visit the morning market. The market had lotContinue reading “Day 6 – Exploring Luang Prabang”
Day 5 – Landing in Laos
Our last day in Vietnam starts off with another delicious, fruit filled breakfast buffet, where I once again fill my plate up with an assortment of dragon fruit, passion fruit, mango, and melon. We get our coffees, finish up eating, then go back to the room to pack up all of our bags for ourContinue reading “Day 5 – Landing in Laos”
Day 4 – Hanoi Food Bucket List
The morning fog wrapping around natural stone monuments in the sea is definitely one of the prettier sights to wake up to. As pretty as the fog can be, it does mean that I don’t get watch the sunrise from the top deck of the boat. Since we were up early, we went to grabContinue reading “Day 4 – Hanoi Food Bucket List”

A rough start this morning, as I wake up with a cough, sore throat, and chills. We pack up and head down to the concierge to ask where the closest pharmacy is and head on over to grab some medicine. We pick some up, then get some breakfast at the buffet in the hotel, beforeContinue reading “Day 3 – Expedition Through Lan Ha Bay”
Day 2 – The Organized Chaos of Hang Da Market
We couldn’t tell last night, but the view from the hotel in South Korea was actually quite nice, overlooking the water and sunrise. The hotel had provided some complimentary chocolate and instant coffee, so I went about combining them to make a budget mocha for the morning. After packing up and showering, we caught aContinue reading “Day 2 – The Organized Chaos of Hang Da Market”
Day 1 – First Night, Wrong Country
8:30 – Wake up 9:00 – Breakfast 9:30 – Depart to the airport Nothing new to start off, though this will set my personal record for the longest time spent in transit. Roughly 24 hours from departure until we can toss our luggage to the side in a hotel on the other side of theContinue reading “Day 1 – First Night, Wrong Country”
