I only stayed in Savannakhet for 1 rest day and deicded to have a longer rest in Pakse, I assumed Pakse would be a 3 or 4 day ride. I turned out to be very wrong, the first day of riding was pleasant, quite cool and scenic.

I'm an expat with the opportunity to travel. I use this blog to share my thoughts on the places I visit and to keep in touch with family, friends and travellers I meet.
Cycling From Hue To Savannakhet … Almost
I really enjoyed the rest day in Hue not that I did much. I have visited Hue a few times before so this time I just relaxed, drank coffee and walked around a bit. Despite riding along Highway 1 for the entire day it was an enjoyable ride. I stopped for breakfast and ate Bun… Continue reading Cycling From Hue To Savannakhet … Almost
Cycling Over The Hai Van Pass From Danang To Hue
I was very happy to get an early start cycling from Danang to Hue just after 5am, with clear skies and no wind. Thanks to Oanh and Andrew for my early morning send off, thanks for the hat Oanh, it came in very handy.

Sandakan and Sepilok, Borneo
Sandakan is just a short flight from Kota Kinabalu and is popular due to its proximity to an orangutan sanctuary. Sepilok is a small complex that has two feeding times for the orangutans in the area.
A Few Days In Kota Kinabalu, Borneo
I was lucky enough to spend a week on Borneo in the northern Malaysian province of Sabah. Borneo is wll known for being very wild so I was surprised at how developed and not so wild it was. I spent time in Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan, where I visted the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary.
Super Fresh Seafood In Vietnam
A trip to any Vietnamese market will surely include some pics of very fresh seafood, usually it is still alive. The variety of seafood and the freshness is astounding. How many of the sea creatures above can you name?
Bayon Temple, Siem Reap, Cambodia
The Bayon Temple is a very photogenic temple complex and it certainly features heavily in souvenirs shops, especially the four sided head of Bayon.
Journey To Malaysia – City, Hills, History
I have visited Malaysia briefly once before. This trip was my first time in Kuala Lumpur and I had 10 days to explore the city and get out a little.
The Children Of Angkor, Cambodia
Angkor Wat and the entire archeological Park that has made Siem Reap famous world-wide conjours up many images for travellers. Ancient history, architectural wonders, a land lost in time, sweltering hot days of temple fatigue and of course hundreds of children of Angkor.
Street Vendors in Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok, like the rest of South East Asia has it’s fair share of street vendors and roadside sellers. I love how anything and everything can be transported quickly and easily for sale right on the street.
Vietnamese Pancake, Ho Chi Minh City
The Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Pancake) in the south and central areas of Vietnam differ in appearance and taste. As seen here the Saigon style Banh Xeo are very large and ar wrapped in lettuce leaves and various herbs. The restaurant here is Banh Xeo Dinh Cong Trang located just off Hai Ba Trung street, the… Continue reading Vietnamese Pancake, Ho Chi Minh City
