I know I have been a bad blogger lately and have not posted anything since Battambang, Cambodia. Since then I have finished my trip to Cambodia, started and finished (early) my trip to Vietnam, traveled and rented a villa in Ubud, Bali and there is more to come. I promise to complete my previous posts … Continue reading Beyond Bali
Siem Reap - A city built up around the ancient temples of Angkor Wat for the vast sea of tourist flowing in and out, with it’s hawking of wares, tuk tuks, massage, tourist scams and of course, a pub street.

It was great to be out of the hectic and noisy Phnom Penh and being the hikers we … Continue reading A Day in Nature – Kep National Park

I have dedicated this post as a review of the beautiful Bacoma guesthouse which was our home during our stay. Kep … Continue reading Bacoma Guesthouse – A Slice of Heaven in Kep, Cambodia
