    Day 3 - At Sea

    24. huhtikuuta 2017, Coral Sea ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Today was another Sea Day! Which meant sleeping in and relaxing by the pool. I found my buddies and we hung out for the morning and afternoon. I had lunch with Mom at the buffet and then the day drinking began.... Pods, Adrian, and I also did some exploring as well. We went and found the helicopter landing pad at the front of the ship and took a few photos there. It was insanely windy up there and I nearly lost my hat! In the process of trying to save it, my drink managed to tip over far enough for the wind to catch it and spray it all over myself and a poor woman sitting nearby... Oops! Anyway, the pool was nice and refreshing, it's salt water, and the ship was moving so much that it was a natural wave pool! So much fun, and the water crashing over the edges of the pool when a particularly big wave came by was fun to watch. The waves would also steal people's shoes if they were left on the ground.

    Mom and I went to go see a show at 7 pm but decided to bail while waiting for it to start as we were hungry. I don't even remember what the show was supposed to be about, but I do know that neither one of us was really into it and weren't upset over missing it at all. After the show I went out for a drink following dinner and met up with Pods and Adrian and the karaoke bar. We listened to a few golden oldies and were intending to go to the late night adult comedy but that didn't happen. We were having too much fun listening to songs being butchered haha. We didn't stay out too too late and were in bed by midnight or so I believe. Something around then anyway ;)    Lue lisää

    Day 2 - At Sea

    23. huhtikuuta 2017, Tasman Sea ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Today was a full day of cruising, and a definite lazy day, much needed. We woke up at about 10am and had a leisurely breakfast before going off to explore the ship. We walked all the levels and tried to find everything, figure out where all the fun places to be are. There are 15 levels, all but the 1st open to passengers. There's a rock climbing wall, flow rider, mini golf, basketball court, ice rink, pools, outdoor theatre, captain viewing area, art gallery, casino, spa, outdoor running track, arcade, gym, a number of bars, and a shopping area. It really is a city on it's own! The ship is the Explorer of the Seas by Royal Carribean.

    At the end of our little walking tour we ran into my friends from last night. Mom said she was ready for a nap so I hung out with them for a bit. We had some lunch and wandered around for a while before splitting up, they were in need of a nap, not feeling so hot after last night haha. I decided to head to the nearby Irish Bar, called the Crown and Kettle, to grab a drink and do some writing. I think that will be a new favourite spot for me :) It's relaxed, laid back, and they have Bloody Mary's that are covered within my drinks package, every where else they're considered premium and cost extra. One of the bartenders told me he'd even be able to make me a Caesar if they have Clamato in the back. I'll be asking him for that for sure!

    After blogging I went up to the pool deck to watch the sun set! It was pretty beautiful. Because my good phone isn't working properly I don't get the best photos anymore but I sure tried to capture it as best as I can! I went back to the room and got ready for dinner, tonight is formal night and Mom and I are going to head to the dining room for dinner. Thankfully she brought me a nice dress. I think we looked pretty great! Will have to get a photo next time haha. Dinner was superb, we were seated with another couple and they ordered a few appetizers each so of course we followed suit and ended up with way too much delicious food. Mmmmmmm cruise food is delicious!!

    After dinner we went to a show at the theatre, there were a number of different performers and they did a few different dance acts. It was pretty cool I suppose but I definitely started to fall asleep... Oops! Following the show Mom went to bed and I went out searching for my friends. Didn't find them but did make some new friends :) We had a great time together and I'm sure that I'll be seeing them again as well. These friends are two couples, not traveling together, that are very laid back and fun to be around. Looking to be a good cruise!    Lue lisää

    Manly Beach and Cruise Day 1 - Departure

    22. huhtikuuta 2017, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    I woke up on time thanks to Matthew loaning me his second phone to use as an alarm and we met up with Mom just as planned. It was so great to see her! Lots of hugging going on and i'm pretty sure people were staring but oh well haha. Was very nice to see her again! We met at about 9 am so we went and ate breakfast at a place on the Harbour. When we were finished we still had time to spare so the three of us hopped onto a fairy to go to Manly beach for the morning. Mom's one and only beach experience in Sydney! We lugged all our luggage on the ferry and thank god for Matthew because I don't know how I would have handled mine and moms ;) She was so exhausted I felt bad for her and we offered to help out. We didn't actually go swimming but just walked over there and sat for a while, had a coffee, and chatted. The water was fairly calm and there weren't all that many people in the water.

    When we decided we had enough we jumped back on the ferry and had lunch in the harbour. After lunch Mom and I said goodbye to Matthew and we got in line to board the cruise ship. That was quite the process. First dropping off our big bags, then Australian Immigration, then security, then finally we got on board and found our rooms. The ship is massive! It's going to take some getting used to, figuring out where everything is. When we found our room we settled in as much as we could while we waited for our luggage to be delivered. Mom was so kind as to bring me my old S3 so that I can now be connected to the world! We bought an internet package, the most basic one, so I'll be able to keep in touch periodically :) It seems to work okay, and honestly I've been surprised by how well the S3 is functioning... It works about as well as my S7 was in it's final days, guess I really didn't notice how poor the performance was, probably the first indication it was going to fail on me.. Anyway, we ventured out for an early dinner at the buffet as we didn't want to deal with the dining room. After dinner mom crashed and I went out to explore a bit. I met my first friends here, at the bar of course. I walked by and smiled, then decided to be bold and go over under the pretense of needing another drink (which I actually did need). They're two guys close to my age, from Australia, that are moving to Vancouver to work and decided that cruising over was the way to go. Names are Adrian and Pods, and I think that we're going to get along splendidly! We all seem to be on the same page with our attitudes, mindsets, and drinking styles... We had a couple drinks at the pool bar, got the awkward small talk out of the way, and then went to find the "night club" on board which had a whopping 8 people on the dance floor. but that's okay! We had our own fun. Great times. Closed down the bar at 1 am and were told there was another bar open until 4 am. I guess because it was the first night it wasn't actually open which honestly was probably a good thing.. No need to be too out of control on the first night ;) Oh, I had also bought the unlimited drinks package, which pays itself off after only 4.5 drinks sooooooooo seems to have been worth it so far!

    The Rocks & Darling Harbour, Sydney

    21. huhtikuuta 2017, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    The Walking tour for the Rocks started out at Cadaman's Cottage in the Circular Quay, the smae area that yesterday's walking tour ended. The tour took us through the old part of Sydney, the Rocks. This tour was shorter and was in the evening so it was a bit cooler, I'm glad that I kept my long sleeve shirt from Nepal... not sure why I wasn't expecting the cooler temperatures as compared to Bangkok. Anyway, the tour was pretty interesting as well! We heard about some of the darker history of Sydney from days of Sailors. We heard abou how Sailors would be robbed, kidnapped to be slaves, murdered, and just taken advantage of in general. There were some pretty funny stories about all that, even though it was a dark history. Our guide was great. You can tell that the Rocks is an older area, the streets are narrow and hav cobbles. The buildings are stone and short in comparison to the neighbouring high rises and the alleys are on the dark side. There's one buiding that is raised on stilts so that you can see the old ruins below that were excavated to remove bodies of folk burried there a long time ago. In the rocks district there are 3 pubs competing for the title of oldest bar in Sydney and we walked by all of them. There really isn't a way to tell which one is the oldes, one has the oldest liquor liscense but another has older building materials, so they're in constant competition, which much bring people in so really they all win. We ended the tour by going up to the observatory where we had a view of the harbour bridge and the fair below over the water it was quite pretty. There were more than a few couples enjoying the romantic setting, until we intruided of course.

    After the walking tour I tried a frozen coke for Alanna as promised and the white truffle parmesan fries from McDonald's to kill time before Matthew arrived from Melbourne!! It was so cool to see him.

    We walked down to Darling Harbour which is quite the contrast from the Rocks. All new buidings, which some interesting architecture, but still quite tame in comparison to some other larger cities like Singapore, or even Vancouver. Seems that Sydney is fairly reserved in their architectural styles. Or would it be moree polite to say conservative? Aside from the Opera house of course. Anyway, we walked around the Darling Harbour and found a place to have dinner, a steak house. Man was it great to have a decent beer, good glass of wine, and amazing steak. What a treat! We had a blast just catching up too, I'm so glad that I get to know my cousins so well. After dinner we walked back to the hostel the long way through Hyde Park, which had a little building reflecting quite prettily off a pond. They do seem to value their green space here which is great! When we got back to the hostel it was almost midnight so we called it quits and went to bed, getting up early to meet Mom tomorrow!!

    Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk, Sydney

    21. huhtikuuta 2017, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    I didn't set an alarm this morning and had a great sleep in. My phone stayed alive long enough for me to call Mom and catch her just before she boarded the plane to Sydney! We chatted briefly and confirmed our meeting spot before she had to go. I then decided I should do something with my day and caught a bus to Bondi Beach. And the beach was gorgeous! White sand, clear blue water. Absolutely stunning. I can see why so many people here love the ocean and couldn't imagine leaving. Especially since the beach was only a 30 minute ride away...

    I started out my beach experience by doing part of the Coastal Walk. I walked from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach, which was only about 2km. The entire trail is about 6 km long but there were so many stairs that my knee started bothering me part way through. So after passing a few beaches, I stopped at one that had a fish and chip shop along the street. But first, the scenery on that walk was breathtaking. Jagged coast, clear blue water, lots of greenery, it was lovely. Instantly I started smiling when I saw what the walk entailed and smelled that salty air! Another reason that I stopped at Bronte instead of Bondi is that it was far less busy. Despite it being fall here there were still tons of people on the beach, although I hear that it gets a lot busier in the summer to the point where you can hardly find a place to sit on the beach. Glad I'm here when I am! The 25 degree weather is so nice and refreshing after Bangkok. I actually find myself almost chilly a lot of the time actually.

    I had fish and chips along the boardwalk that was phenomenal. I really wasn't all that hungry but it seemed like the thing to do, like when you're at White Rock. So good. So hot and fresh and yummy! After lunch I decided to change into my swim suit and go for a dip! It was chilly out but I felt that I needed to go in at least one just to say that I did :) And boy was I unprepared for the strong currents and massive waves. I had been watching the waves crash along the rocks as I was walking but it didn't register just how big the waves were until I was smack dab in the middle of them.. The first one took me under and rolled me around a bit until I came to my senses and started handling the waves properly lol. I've swam in rougher water before but after the calm, tame beaches of Vietnam I was a little bit unprepared. Of course I quickly adjusted! I loved it. I was having so much fun just body surfing and jumping through the waves. At one point I was standing in knee deep water and by the time the wave came through I couldn't touch, I'm pretty sure they were about 3 m high if not taller! The only reason I didn't stay in longer is because I had left my stuff unattended on the beach. I wasn't really worried about it but didn't want to tempt fate too much by leaving it alone for too long... Twas a blast.

    I caught a bus back to the hostel to shower and pack up my bags before heading out to Circular Quay to start a walking tour of the Rocks... More about that in the next post!    Lue lisää

    Arrival in Sydney

    20. huhtikuuta 2017, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We arrived in Sydney on time at 7:40 am and I made it through customs, got my bags, found the train, and made it to my hostel within an hour and a half tops. Maybe even less, I think I checked in at about 9:15 or so. An easy city to navigate that's for sure! Upon checking in I claimed my bed in the hostel and unpacked a bit before showering. Then went in search of breakfast and had an amazing Smashed Avocado with egg sandwich at a local restaurant. It cost me though... This is going to be an expensive couple days! Good thing I've decided not to drink at all while I'm here. I have no desire to even see alcohol at this point... What a gong show the last few weeks have been. I'm looking forward to a couple days of quiet. This Hostel doesn't seem like a party place and for that I'm quite glad. Anyway, after breakfast I had a nap because I didn't sleep much on the plane and forced myself out of bed to make it to a free walking tour on time. And as soon as I turned off my alarm my phone and dragged myself out of bed my phone quit working....... It started restarting literally every 2 or 3 minutes, keyboard wouldn't work, no gps, photos not taking properly, no screenshots, no WiFi, nothing.... What a frustrating experience! after the walking tour, which I will describe shortly here, I even went to the Samsung store to see if they could help. But the phone wouldn't stay on long enough for them to even run a diagnostic test... And because it's a different country they can't repair or replace the phone. So annoying! but they were super kind and helpful, great people the Australians. Anyway, after giving up on my phone, turning it off, and leaving it to charge to 100% it seems to be working ok. I won't take it off the charger though for fear that it'll quit working. The Samsung techies suspect a failing motherboard... Don't really know what that means or why it seems to be working now but I just hope it continues to work! mainly for photo taking purposes. When I meet up with Mom she'll bring my computer so I won't need it for anything other than photos...

    But anyway, I went on a free walking tour of the city that was incredible! The guide was a student named Indigo and of course asked for tips at the end but she 1000% deserved them. Funny and knowledgeable we got a great backstory of the city. We started out at St. James Cathedral and ended at the Opera House. There were so many landmarks that we stopped at on the way, I'm incredibly glad I went to the tour instead of doing it on my own. We happened to end at the Opera House at sunset too so that was pretty neat to see. Clear blue skies and warm colours reflecting off the structure... Overall, I had positive impressions of the city and was really interested in hearing all the quirky history of Australia from how it was founded to how the capital city was selected to how booze was once an official currency to how the original settler population were criminals, etc etc. There was so much information that I can't possibly record it all but I really did enjoy the tour. There's a second one that they offer that gives a tour of the Rocks and the criminal history of the area that I'll probably go to tomorrow. Will be tough to get a guide as good as Indigo was though!

    Anyway, as I mentioned, after the walking tour I went to the Samsung store but I also went to check out the meeting point that mom and I agreed upon for the 22!I'm really looking forward to seeing her :) I scoped out the meeting spot and hopefully she won't have any issues finding it. I stayed up tonight to try and call her even though I'm exhausted. I'll be seeing her soon enough! I had dinner at, don't judge me, McDonalds. I needed some comfort food after the stressful phone situation that actually wasn't really all that stressful... I found myself impartial to the fact that I didn't have a phone. Honestly I've become so detached from it in the last while, not having internet access doesn't bother me too much and I don't feel I need it. I was mostly annoyed that I lost access to my books and music! but again, seems to be working but who knows how long that'll last... Maybe it has something to do with the heat? Though it's significantly cooler here than in Bangkok at a lovely 24 degrees in the sun and a chilly 10 degrees at night. Much prefer it to the instant sweat though! Any who, McDonalds has fries with Gravy here as well as truffle parmesan fries and frozen cokes. I'm gonna go back just for the truffle fries and frozen cokes at Ms. Georgia's request ;) Not that I needed any sort of tempting! After dinner I walked to a book store and picked up some physical books the first that I've bought in a while....

    I then returned to the hostel and used their computer to send meeting instructions to mom and talk to Matthew! He's working out of Melbourne right now and has decided to come visit me in Sydney tomorrow night!! I'm super excited about that and am hoping that he'll be able to join mom and I for breakfast the following morning at the very least :) Can't wait to see my cousin again, didn't think it would happen here of all places though haha. After saying goodbye to him I tried to sleep but was too anxious about getting in touch with Mom.. so I read my book on the lovely rooftop patio of the hostel, Big Hostel, until it was an appropriate time to call home. 7am their time, not that they're answering my calls right now, but I left a message! That's all I can do. Just so looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from home <3    Lue lisää

    Last Day in Bangkok

    19. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    I had a long sleep in and still felt incredibly tired when I woke up. So I had a nice relaxing day! I had fully intended on visiting Wat Po, a nearby temple but decided against it in the sweltering heat. Instead my roommate and I decided to go visit a fish spa! I was so against them for so long because I was convinced that it wasn't good for the fish to be living in those conditions but I've been assured that they're well taken care of.. I sure hope so. Anyway, that was a crazy experience. Keeping still was incredibly difficult with 50 fish nibbling on your feet! It wasn't so much ticklish as it was tingly, like you were being mildly electrocuted or something. We only did 15 minutes, I don't think that I could have done any longer it was too strange of a feeling! We decided instead to get a foot massage afterwards which was the best decision I've made in a long time ;) Afterwards, we went back and lounged by the pool until it was time for me to say my goodbyes and head to the airport.. I'll see them again for sure! Especially my roommate Kelsey who also lives in BC.

    On my way to the airport I again was struck by how big Bangkok is... It took an hour to get to the airport and there are just huge buildings everywhere! The density is incredible and the amount of traffic. I realize we hardly even scratched the surface.. I'm confident that one day I'll be back to Bangkok though, even if it is just as a layover stop to different destinations :)

    The airport is also massive. And there are silly rules associated with the airline... Like the fact that I couldn't bring bottled water on board even when it was bought after security?! I've never heard of that before.. But whatever, I just kept disturbing the airline staff instead to quench the incessant thirst I seem to develop on flights. All that dry air or something... But I will say that this was the nicest airline I have ever been on for an economy flight. I booked with Qantas but it was operated by Emarites and I understand why people rave about them now. Tons of leg room, wide seats, great entertainment selection, good food, wifi on board, allowing people to data roam, etc etc. They were fantastic! I'd for sure fly with them again.

    The flight is an over nighter and scheduled to arrive in Sydney at 7:40 am! Hoping I can sleep...    Lue lisää

    Back to Bangkok

    18. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    We arrived back at Bangkok early this morning off the night train and thankfully were able to check in to our rooms at the Wild Orchid right away. We went to Ricky's for breakfast and I had spaghetti haha. Afterwards I did some research on things to do in Sydney, called mom, and spoke to Alanna for a while. Then I repacked my bags and somehow managed to get everything into my backpack plus a carryon! I don't even know how that's physically possible considering that I had a full backpack and carryon plus the bag I had left behind at the Wild Orchid before leaving for Chiang Mai... My Tetris skills are improving I suppose :p from there I went out to the market one last time to pick up a few last minute items before heading to the pool to relax! A big part of the group was also there so we shared a few drinks just enjoying our last day together. We went for dinner at some strange place called Hippie Bar where I had a "set" meal that consisted of a soup, fried "chicken", and spicy rice. Apparently it was a Thai meal but nothing I've ever seen before. Tasty, but strange... The fried chicken tasted more like pork and was little strips of deep fried meat. The soup was a clear soup with small noodles that was quite tasty actually and the rice was far too spicy for my tastes, oops. After dinner we went out to Khao San Road for one last hurrah! I wasn't feeling well so I took it easy and went home fairly early, before midnight I believe. Stomach is feeling better but still not 100% at this point!Lue lisää

    Last Day in Chiang Mai

    17. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Today was technically only a half day as we boarded a night train at 2:30 pm to return to Bangkok. We had breakfast at the bagel house once again and said some teary goodbyes. I was really sad to see those girls go! The ones not officially part of our tour that I've been spending all my time with, including Jess. They're headed to Pai today while the rest of us end our tour.. It's getting close to done with Asia for me :(

    And it poured today. Haven't seen rain like that in a long long time! I kind of enjoyed it and of course went out for a walk in it :) the train ride has been uneventful thus far and all I want to do is sleep but the beds aren't made yet. Soon I hope! Also my stomach is feeling mildly better, less issues than before. Either the antibiotics or the probiotics or a combo of the two are starting to work their magic! Hope it keeps up..    Lue lisää

    X-Centre, Chiang Mai

    16. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today was a slow start. Kind of. I had breakfast at about 7am because I couldn't sleep and then went back to bed until noon. First priority was washing all those disgusting clothes... And taking antibiotics because I definitely ingested some of that water. One of our friends actually went in to the hospital last night because it was so bad for him and that's what they recommended for him. So we'll see if the antibiotics and then probiotics work for me. If not I'll be seeing a doctor in Sydney! It's all just intestinal discomfort and I'm sure that it'll be fine in a few days...

    But anyways, in the afternoon we went ad a large group to the extreme sports centre or X-Centre. I didn't participate but had a lot of fun watching others do drift carting, bungee jumping, and xorbing. The xorbs were my favourite haha. Looked like fun!! So did the drift carting but I didn't want to be in a car that was being bounced around with the condition my body is in lol. It was good to participate though!

    Afterwards we went to a Sports bar for some pizza before retuning home for a nap. It's our last night together in Chiang Mai so I felt obligated to go out with everyone. I napped until 9:45 and then met up with the group. I managed to make myself a pretty damn good Bloody Mary that helped me feel a bit better. But I still wasn't up for continuing the party when the bar closed at midnight and went back to bed for a solid nights sleep.

    Oh, today we also learned that 226 people died over the last 4 days of Songkran.. Mostly vehicle or alcohol related.... And over 5000 were injured... Dangerous holiday to be on the roads! Glad we all came out unscathed :)    Lue lisää

    Songkran Day 3

    15. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    We were expecting today to be the wild day but it was definitely not as busy as the first two days. Maybe the colder weather had something to do with that.. But it was still fun! The group rented trucks with ice water bins and went out to get soaked. I didn't join them because my friends weren't officially on the tour, so we tried to look for then instead but never actually saw them. We did actually watch the parade for once though! Each day there was a parade of different groups, some university groups, businesses, etc. Wasn't all that exciting to be honest but we were in a good viewing position and didn't want to leave too quickly. We didn't waterfight as long today, one of our friends had to catch a flight at about 2:30 so we walked her back and said goodbye. Another was leaving shortly after so we hung out at the hotel for a while instead of going back out into the mayhem.

    After our friends left, we dried off again and went to try and meet the group at the tattoo shop where they were having a tattoo party similar to the one we did before. But, we weren't told that the owner has 3 locations and went to the wrong one... Couldn't find them at the end of it so our smaller group did our own thing which turned out to be more fun anyway! We went back to the international food market, had some snacks, and listened to the band that was playing. Our friends even managed to get people up and dancing when usually they don't. Fun times! Afterwards we just went back to the guesthouse for a few more drinks and conversation.    Lue lisää

    Songkran Day 2

    14. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Day 2 of Songkran was just as wild as the first day. The group returned from the Jungle Trek yesterday evening so today we had an even larger team for fighting. And we broke out the wild costumes! We again loaded up on drinks and water and went out. Just as fun and crazy as the day before! But this time we didn't end up at Stamps, we went to a different hostel instead with some new folks we met. I'm pretty sure I accidentally ingested moat water yesterday because today my stomach has been giving me nothing but problems, I've never had it this bad on all of my travels. But, I didn't let it stop me! We continued water fighting well into the day and then repeated what we did yesterday. Dinner, change of clothes, backpackers, leave early because it was too busy haha.Lue lisää

    Songkran Day 1

    13. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    Well, Songkran is intense. And incredibly fun! Today is the first official day of the celebrations for the Thai New Year. The last and third day is the New Year itself and is supposed to be the wildest day. Officially, water is only supposed to be thrown from 8 to 8, and is reserved mainly for the main street along the canal. But if course there are a few who don't abide by those rules, tourists mainly.

    So after a hearty breakfast and booze buckets we went out into the thick of it and were soaked immediately. The streets were packed with people and you were able to walk faster than the cars driving along. Some people had water guns, some like myself had Buckets, some had hoses, and others had tubs of water in the back of trucks with ice in them that they threw at the people walking. There were water refill stations everywhere, my favourite one being the fire truck refilling large tanks on the street. And of course there was the canal, water was easy to take from there after we attached strings to our Buckets.

    At some point we ended up at Stamps backpackers where there was water fighting going on in the streets and tons of people partying inside, mid day of course. Wild. I couldnt even tell you how long we stayed there, but at some point we ended up eating at El Loco, the Mexican restaurant before walking back to the guesthouse. We took the back roads in hopes that we'd avoid more of the water fighting but ended up in the thick of it outside a bar where a bunch of children were super excited that a group of people would engage with them. So, we played with them a while before heading back to the guesthouse and showering away all the dirty water. We waited until it was supposed to be safe to go out again and headed for backpackers alley. We didn't stay dry for long... There were inconsiderate folk spraying people in the absolutely packed crowd. I've never seen it so busy! They had a stage set up outside and there were so many people you could hardly move. A couple of us called it quits because of the crowd and took the back roads home again.    Lue lisää

    Art in Paradise, Chiang Mai

    12. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 35 °C

    After the Canyon waterpark we went to the 3D art museum, Art in Paradise. It was super cool!! Good thing we hadn't bothered changing the because we were soaked on our way there yet again. Anyway, the museum was so much fun, and we were the only ones there which made it better. It was predominately paintings on the walls and floors that were interactive and they encouraged you to get right in the middle of the work and pose for photos. I took so many, but am only able to post 6 through this app so I've chosen the best ones. It was a pretty neat experience and we just had fun!

    After the museum we walked to the night bazaar and international food market that we've been to last time we were here. Jess and I were the unofficial tour guides haha. We ate some amazing food and then walked back to the hotel, also getting wet on the way by tourists throwing water around. Fun times!    Lue lisää

    Grand Canyon Hangdong Chiang Mai

    12. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C

    Today was another take it easy day. Bagels again breakfast after waking up on our own time, hanging around the hotel for a bit, and then off to the Grand Canyon Waterpark! That was fun. It's basically a big crater filled with water that's popular for swimming on a hot day. And for cliff jumping. I jumped once because, why not? It was very controlled and regulated. You were required to throw a life jacket down to two men who's sole job was to stay in the water and make sure you were okay when you landed in the water. You were also required to always have a life jacket near you while in the water, so we turned ours into seats and sat in the water for a few hours watching people jump. Some were crazy, diving, doing flips, going naked... Fun times! I also had a fantastic spaghetti there for lunch. Can't wait to have a bowl of Mom's when I'm home!

    On our way home the beginnings of the Songkran celebrations were underway even through they aren't supposed to start until tomorrow. We were soaked by buckets of water while sitting in the back of the truck.. The next few days should be fun!    Lue lisää

    Pool Day, Chiang Mai

    11. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    We took it easy today, which is exactly what I've been craving the last few days. Woke up at my own pace, had a leisurely breakfast at the bagel shop, got a pedicure (which was average at best) and then met up with some of the leaders to head to a pool for the day! The rest of the group left for the jungle trek today but I just wasn't into doing it a second time, and my knees are acting up again. But there are plenty of people still here to hang out with :) I can't recall the name of the hotel we went to with the pool but it was nice to just chill and swim for a while. Even though the water did turn our swimsuits green... After swimming we went back to the hotel before going out for dinner and then to backpackers alley again for a few drinks. I had a bloody mary that was decent too, only because I was able to mix it myself ;) I want more! Miss those bad boys.Lue lisää

    Night Bus to Chiang Mai

    10. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    We got off the night Bus and arrived at Libra Guesthouse fairly early. We checked into our rooms, showered, and I dropped off laundry. And I reunited with Jess from my 25 day LTC trip! We're gonna have a fun few days here I think ;) the group assembled and we walked to a market I hadn't been to before. We shopped for crazy outfits to wear and water guns for Songkran! After finding some ridiculous outfits we had lunch, went back to the hotel and I took a much needed nap.

    We went out for dinner as a small group before meeting the big group to go see some Muay Tai fights. Myself and one other girl were left behind... They didn't notice us running after the song tao so we caught a tuk Tuk instead lol. I much preferred these fights to the ones we saw last time we were here. There was more talent and the fighters were serious about their sport. It was fun to watch! When the fights ended we went over to backpackers alley and had our group of 26 plus about 15 other leaders filling the place. It was fun! When the bars shut down I walked around the city with a friend I had made before calling it a night. Good start to Chiang Mai!    Lue lisää

    Back to Bangkok

    9. huhtikuuta 2017, Thaimaa ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    Back to Bangkok, back to instant sweat. We flew out early in the morning and arrived at the Wild Orchid with a few hours to spare until we took a night train to Chiang Mai. We hung out in the lobby for a while, ate some food, did reviews of our last group leaders, walked around, and I repacked my bag so I could leave some things behind for the next 10 days.

    We met up with the new group, a shocking 26 people plus leaders, and went off to the train station. We had pretty well an entire car to ourselves and played cards and got to know each other on the trip to Chiang Mai. This group looks like it will be a lot of fun!    Lue lisää

    Last Night in Hanoi

    8. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ 🌫 24 °C

    We woke up in the morning on the boat after a comfortable nights sleep listening to the water and being rocked gently to sleep. I had a fantastic sleep to be honest! Breakfast was served fairly early and then we began our return journey to the bay. It was raining, but hot enough that the drops dried immediately so we still sat up top on the sun beds. I spent most of the morning reading my book just enjoying some solitude in a group. We ate lunch on the boat as well before catching a bus to return to Hanoi for our last night together as a group.

    We had an hour when we returned to shower and get ready for our last family dinner! We went to a Vietnamese restaurant and I had my last pho and salad rolls. And wasn't overly impressed haha, definitely have had better this trip, but I'm happy to say that the Vietnamese restaurants at home are ok par with the food we've been eating. So I won't miss the food too much!

    After dinner we went to a bar across the street from our hotel and stayed out far too late for having to be up at 5am the next day. But hey, last night together! We had fun socializing and there were some teary goodbyes at the end of the night... "I'm just sporting so hard my eyes are sweating"    Lue lisää

    Junk Boat on Halong Bay

    7. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Today we took a 4 hour bus ride to Halong Bay to spend the night on a Junk Boat! We stopped at an art market along the way and had to wait at the harbour for a while when we arrived because the ship wasn't completely ready for us yet. We took a small boat out to the big boat and began our tour of the Bay!

    Just beautiful. The photos that didn't fit in today's post will be in tomorrow's, but I can see why Halong Bay was named a 7th new Wonder of the World by UNESCO. Appropriately, Halong Bay means Dragons Teeth. The only thing that took away from the experience was the sheer number of boats out there, it was incredible. But, blue water everywhere and little hills of rocks and some trees popping up everywhere you look. Pretty cool. We drove for about 4 hours just through all these different little rock formations taking in the view. It was cloudy and kind of cool so no chance of burning on the rooftop patio anyway.

    We made a stop at a cave that was discovered by two kayakers who followed some monkeys inside. It was a pretty neat cave but I had a really hard time enjoying it because there were so many people you couldn't walk at your own pace, literally packed in behind and ahead. And after all the caves we've seen already... But the difference with this one was the really cool ceiling! It looked a bit like popcorn to me.

    After the cave they took us to a beach which was also packed. We did swim even though it started to drizzle a bit, and left quickly because there were too many people there for us to comfortably enjoy ourselves. I guess we've been spoiled with the nearly private beaches we've had until now.

    After the beach we returned to the boat where we stayed for the rest of the night. We had dinner and drinks on board, played games, had drinks, and socialized. Favourite part of the night was discovering that there were bioluminescent Plankton in the water!! I guess because of the clouds they didn't disappear like they usually do. They only show up 2 or 3 times a month apparently, we were lucky to see it! It was so cool though. We sat at the end of the boat where the anchor drops and threw water into the water below disturbing it so we could see the vibrant colours. They were blue and white and everywhere. So cool! At times they would disappear from being disturbed too often and we'd have to wait awhile for them to come back. What a time!    Lue lisää

    Night Bus to Hanoi

    6. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    We arrived off the night Bus in Hanoi at 4:45am... We walked over to our hotel and of course couldn't check in so we walked to the local square for some Laughing yoga waiting for places to open for breakfast. The "yoga" started at 6am and even at the time the city was bustling and alive. It really reminded me of Vancouver, with all the people out exercising so early, the rain, and the dynamic groups of people. I didn't actually participate in the yoga because my knees are just messed, but I watched and laughed at our group and walked around the park instead. Again there's a lot of French inspired architecture, and I noticed immediately how dirty the city is once you're off the main drag.

    When yoga was over it was raining in full force and we walked over to a great little place for breakfast, the name of which I can't recall but is something like Jo Mo. I had a croissant with eggs, cheese, and bacon that was heavenly. No complaints there! Afterwards we went back to the hotel and most people had rooms ready. Mine wasn't so I decided to walk around the city instead of sitting in the lobby with the rest of the people waiting for rooms. Time to explore!

    I walked to the old quarter, and along the ceramic mosaic wall that totals 6.5km. I didn't do the full length of the wall but enough to get an idea of what it is. Pretty cool! The mosaic was pretty cool and covered different events in history. The most interesting thing I found was walking through the parts of the town dominated by locals. Without tourists and just observing. It reminded me a bit of the outskirts of Kathmandu with people just living their lives. The buildings are old and run down and just interesting to look at. Definitely my favourite thing to do in a city just walk around and observe!

    When I got back to the hotel our room was ready 2 minutes later! Good timing ;) so I read my book for a bit and had a great nap. I didn't sleep much on the night Bus so I was pretty happy about the nap. I then had a good long chat with a friend from home before meeting up with the group for dinner. I had a fantastic shrimp clay pot, one of the best meals I've had yet! After dinner we went back to the hotel and watched a movie as a small group in one of the girls rooms before heading to bed at the reasonable hour of 10:30    Lue lisää

    Phong Nha Cave

    5. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Today was technically a free day but as a group most of decided to go explore the nearby Phong Nha Cave around 1pm after a sleep in and morning by the pool despite the rain. Can't let the weather stop us!

    We walked about 10 minutes to the river and hopped on a boat which took us on a 45 min ride to the cave entrance. The boat was rickety and powered by a gas engine, owned by a local couple. When we reached the cave entrance they shut the motor off and rowed through the cave instead. I couldn't tell how deep the water was for sure but it couldn't have been more than maybe 2 or 3 feet, these boats are very shallow riders.

    The cave is famous for it's part in the war. Locals would hide their pontoons in the cave during the day and take them out at night to transport supplies down the river. At one point the Americans discovered this and sent a number of pilots out to bomb and try to destroy the cave. Originally, the cave had long "teeth" that made it look like a dragons mouth but that has since been destroyed because of the American bombs and because of the weapons used by the Vietnamese to try and shoot the planes out of the sky. When we entered into the cave you could see the damage in the ceiling, the craters that are definitely not natural. It was a pretty interesting experience! We went into the cave about a km and then were dropped off at an area to walk a bit. The cave was also used as a hospital during the war and living quarters and we explored a bit of those areas. I especially liked the elevated "pools" that were carved into the stairs. I'm not entirely sure what they were used for but they were definitely intentionally created and I should google it later!

    After our walk through the cave we hopped back onto our boat and went back to town, and back to the hostel. I spent the rest of the evening catching up on writing while the others continued their drinking and socializing. I needed a bit of down time! At 9pm we caught a night bus and began our journey to Hanoi. Of course I had to have a dream about a bus crash along the way haha. It wasn't a nightmare though thanks to my lucid dreaming abilities but I chose not to share the dream with my travel mates in case they were easily frightened :p    Lue lisää

    Exploring Rural Phong Nha

    4. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Today may have been the best day of my trip so far. We met as a group at about 10 am and borrowed bikes from the hostel. We pedalled for about 10 km to a Farmstay in the country side. I really enjoyed the ride there, I miss riding my bike! When we got there we hung out for a bit and then we’re picked up by a dump truck! So started the first annual FNEZ dump truck pub crawl. I guess they usually do this on easy rider bikes but the roads are too washed out right now for the bikes to be able to handle it. So we all piled into the back of this truck with a couple of cases of beers and a cooler and began our day. we started it by almost hitting a power line.. But we didn’t and all was good. Once we got onto the dirt roads the ride became incredibly bump. We were being bounced around like sacks of bouncing into one another and just having a great old time. I’m not sure the pictures really show how bad the road was but we almost got stuck a few times in the ruts and mud and at one point we actually drove through a river. Thankfully the rain held off until the end of the day this time around.. I’ve actually been loving this cooler weather, I am so not a warm weather person unless there’s a body of water to jump into.

    Our first stop in the country was at the Duck Stop, a little pepper farm where the lady kept a ton of ducks. She offered us peanuts to eat with the pepper she makes and oh man was it delicious! I ended up buying some pepper from her to bring home actually. On our way back to the truck she insisted that we go visit the ducks and that we pick them up and throw them into the pond. I didn’t myself but I watched the girls struggle with it haha. Fun stuff!

    We loaded back into the truck and made another short trek in the mud to the “pub with cold beers” just down the road. There were lots of cold beers here and hammocks. I chilled on a hammock while others played foosball and volleyball, I needed some downtime!

    Our next stop was down the dirt road even further at Moi Moi restaurant, also in the middle of nowhere. It wasn’t so much a restaurant as a bunch of tables and a shack that ladies were cooking in. They served some great food though! And we bought them out of beers.. Which was our cue to get in the truck again for our final and longest and most fun stretch in the dump truck. What a time to be alive ;)

    We got back to the Farmstay and watched the sun go down while eating dinner, playing games, and relaxing. We were picked up by shuttle busses instead of biking back and made it back 10 minutes before we missed our free beers at the hostel. Then it was a repeat or the last two nights.. Dancing on tables to live music, Chatting, having fun. I once again skipped the after bar in favour of sleep! Seem to be starting to wear a bit thin.    Lue lisää

    Caves, Phong Nha

    3. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    I woke up early to try calling TD again and had some success after waiting on hold for almost 45 minutes. But I got my issue sorted! They changed my visa into a debit card so I can access my chequing account from it and can take out cash thankfully. What an ordeal. But it worked! So no complaints.

    After doing that and eating some breakfast I met the group and we hopped into vans to do some awesome cave exploring!! Which is what this area is famous for. King Kong was filmed in the National Park here where we started our visit.

    Our first stop was at 8 lady cave and a temple. The temple was dedicated to those 8 ladies and also the folk who risked their lives building and maintaining the highway in the area. There were 8 ladies who lived in the cave and at night would go out and perform road maintenance during the war. There were also 8 people who died in that cave when a bomb closed off the entrance.. They died of starvation because they were unable to clear the opening. Later on their bodies were recovered.. 4 young boys and 4 young girls. Very sad story. The highway, highway 20, was named that way because the majority of the people building it were under 20 years old. Incredible stories. We also learned that the world's largest cave is in this area and costs about 3000 USD to enter on a 5 day trip. It's so expensive because they want to keep it preserved in it's natural state, makes sense I guess! Another fun fact about the Temples here is that the middle doors are reserved only for very important people to enter, such as the king, but because Vietnam no longer has a king the doors in all the Temples are now closed. I should also mention that most people in Vietnam don't follow any religion but use the Temples for making offerings to their deceased loved ones.

    From there we moved onto Paradise Cave with was pretty cool! We descended a whole bunch of stairs into the cave and followed a boardwalk but a km into the cave. It was the biggest cave I've ever been in! And it kept on going but the boardwalk ended. Definitely worth the visit and the steps. The cave photos in this post are the ones from that cave. Just rocks everywhere, a high ceiling, and a broad array of different rock types. It was the coolest cave I've been in I think.

    After the Paradise cave we at lunch at a nearby spot, family style again before heading over to the Dark Cave! The Dark Cave was the best part for sure, and I wish I could have taken photos. They showed us a video beforehand of everything we'd be doing in it and we were all quite disappointed thinking that all the surprises were ruined.. But it turned out to be fun anyway! We started out by ziplining to the cave entrance. That was fun wearing only our bathing suits... But we made it over and then swam about 20 Ft to the cave entrance. We were given helmets and headlamps and they were definitely needed. Walking through narrow passages with low hanging stalagmites with the floor covered in mud about 3 inches deep. We wandered around exploring for a while, slipping and sliding in the mud before coming to the highlight of the cave! A giant mud bath. I can't even describe how cool that was! It was big enough to hold all of us, about 30 people and not be too crowded. The mud was about 3 or 4 feet deep and was refreshing, my skin was super soft afterwards. Best part? Realizing that you can float in it with zero effort. Literally pick your feet up and just float on a seated position indefinitely. So cool! And watching a few people slip and get covered from head to toe in mud. Of course a few people did it intentionally, but I didn't feel like eating mud. We also shut all of our lights off for a few moments and sat it complete darkness. Pretty sweet. On the way out of this cave we slid down a mud slide and then tried to wash off in a pool of clear water. Didn't work all that well, because later when I was washing the swim suit I wore in there it took me a full 30 min to get all the dirt out.. Upon exiting the cave we took kayaks back to the main building. There were a bunch of water toys set up there and we took turns taking one of those things you hang off of and drop into the water. It was really cold at this point and almost raining but we were already wet so figured why not? Too bad they insisted that we wear life jackets.. Kind of ruins it a bit but what can ya do.

    Once we had all finished playing and having fun we hopped back on the bus and went back to the hostel. There we repeated the night before.. Dinner, drinks, pool, foosball, live music, fun! I opted out early though and went to bed at about 10pm I just couldn't handle it, need sleep!!    Lue lisää

    Bus to Phong Nha

    2. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Morning came way too early.. I packed up my bags and met the group to catch a bus to Phong Nha. I slept the entire bus ride for which I was very thankful as our one group leader has far too much energy and when combined with a microphone in a bus led to 4 hours of singing... Glad I can sleep anywhere when I'm that tired ;)

    When we arrived at the hostel, Easy Tiger, we checked in and were given an overview of the area. This is a very new town for tourists with the first accommodation for international persons being opened only 3 years ago. So there aren't any people on the streets trying to sell you things or offer you drugs which is a really nice change. This area is one of the most heavily bombed areas in Vietnam because it's the narrowest part and crucial for the trade routes. Actually, the owner was telling us that just last week another bomb washed up onto the river less than a km away... They of course were able to disarm it without it going off but had it exploded it would have cleared an area 5km in radius. Crazy stuff! I guess there are bombs all over here that they still haven't found. Mostly because the bombs were meant to hit concrete buildings not the soft jungle floor.

    After hearing a bit more about the area I decided to try to find an atm since I wasn't able to withdraw cash in Hue, the ATM's just weren't working for me. And neither was the one here! I went there and back three times after calling TD twice to try and resolve the issue. By the third failed attempt I gave up and decided to try calling again in the morning because the internet connection was so weak with all the people in the hostel the call kept getting dropped. The biggest issue with the three trips to the ATM was the 10 minute walk each way to get there lol. So quite the ordeal... But on the plus side the town is really cute! There are lots of french style buildings and the mountains are phenomenal. It reminded me of Laos, which makes sense as the highway here will take you directly into Laos... Absolutely beautiful here. So natural still and not touristy I love it. So even though I didn't get my debit card working I had a nice little city tour in the rain ;) I actually like it though, nice change from the instant sweat that we've been dealing with the last few weeks.

    We stayed in at the hostel for the rest of the evening enjoying the incredible happy hour specials and lively atmosphere. There was a live band that played great music and there were people up on the tables dancing by the end of it. Lots of fun! The bar here shut down at 11 and a few people ventured out to an after bar, but I needed sleep and just went to bed instead. That's my priority today!    Lue lisää

    Abandoned Waterpark, Hue

    2. huhtikuuta 2017, Vietnam ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Today was a free day so I took full advantage and lounged around in bed until about 11am when I finally decided to roll out of bed and find something to eat. I guess the rest of the group had the same idea because they were all eating next door when I showed up. We then decided that we'd spend the day by going to visit an abandoned Waterpark! That was super cool. We hired a group of locals to take us there in these "adult strollers" as we started calling them. I don't know the actual name, but we sat on a plush chair in front and they peddled from behind. The way was mostly flat but on the hills we got out and walked because, I at least, felt bad for them. But, for what we paid them I know they were super happy to do it! And on the way back we stopped at a local shop and had a beer with them so that was fun.

    Anyway, the Waterpark is abandoned because they ran out of money to finish building it, or so they say. There are different opinions on the matter. It seemed to be mostly finished but not completely, because no bathrooms were ever actually built and there were only some placed fitted with lights. There were a fair number of people there actually which kind of surprised me. I guess it's becoming more well known thanks to the internet. The first thing we saw was a giant dragon which we climbed up and into it's mouth for a full view of the park. The water park was actually more like a park than a water park like we know at home. The walk to the dragon was a lovely brick path through trees along a lake and things weren't packed together very closely, lots of vegetation. The most creepy part of the park was the bottom of the dragon where there was supposed to be an aquarium. The room was completely dark and there was shattered glass everywhere. Pretty cool! We wandered around the rest of the lake and found some waterslides which we definitely climbed up the wrong way and just had fun being without rules and restrictions. There was also an amphitheatre and some areas that had been prepped for development but never actually built on. Pretty neat area, too bad it didn't actually open.

    I think we spent about an hour and a half or two hours wandering around before heading back to the hotel. Once back at the hotel we went for a snack at the place we had breakfast, which is actually a bar called DMZ. We chatted with the manager for a bit and he told me that they'll be opening a sister bar in Vancouver this year or next! That will be cool. DMZ stands for De Militarized Zone and has to do with the war. Would be neat to see one open up in Vancouver. After a few drinks we met the group for dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant before returning back to the bar. We were given free Buckets and sang some karaoke and just had a great time. I was playing pool with the manager and a fellow Canadian from Ottawa and when I looked back at our table the rest of the group had left... So I stayed out drinking with the two I was playing pool with. We went just around the corner and sat on the street next to a beer vending machine for a few hours lmao. We were approached by the Vietnamese Mafia at one point apparently, but they were friends with the guy we were with so no issues of course. Was quite an interesting experience, reminded me of home! My favourite kind of nights are the calmer, quieter ones. Good times for sure.    Lue lisää
