    Day 11 Ho Chi Minh

    20 avril, Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    An exhausting day in Ho Chi Minh City. We got up in time to meet our guide by 7 40 am. We drove with a group a people a short distance to the wharf where we boarded a luxurious speed boat to travel for an hour and a half up the river to the Cu Chi tunnels. There were crowds of people there, and the car park was already full of buses. We entered the jungle on a walking track and spent two hours learning about the Cu Chi army and people and how the Vietnamese utilised the tunnels to combat the US army. While not taking up the experience of crawling through the tunnels we did see trenches, battle grounds, dining and sleeping places, as well as many deadly traps. The tour also included an opportunity to shoot real guns with David and Malcolm having a go at shooting targets with Ak47s. The tour ended with a lovely lunch before boarding the boat for the long trip back along the wide and leafy river. On returning we walked to a local market but the heat and busyness was not pleasant and we were unsure of where to go. Again the traffic was building up so we decided to eat dinner at a Thai restaurant next door to the hotel which was pretty average. Tomorrow we leave for Cambodia.En savoir plus

    Day 12 Ho Chi Minh to Siem Reap Cambodia

    21 avril, Cambodge ⋅ ☁️ 35 °C

    Another big travelling day. We left our hotel at 10 due to the promise of extra busy traffic, and even though the flight was only 45 minutes it was 4 30 by the time we arrived at our hotel in Siem Reap. The interesting ride in from the airport was an hour through farms growing cashew nuts and tapioca. Our hotel is right in the centre of Siem Reap and is modern and absolutely beautiful, complete with its own cat asleep on the chair. Within a short time we were in the infinitely pool on the rooftop as it was 35 degrees. We wandered into town to Pub Street, well known for its bars and restaurants. We ate at an upstairs restaurant after seeing the ‘ air conditioning’ sign. Dinner was lovely and we wandered along the street and the markets before making it back to our hotel and our air conditioned room! So far we think Cambodia is lovely and the people very respectful. Tomorrow we are up early due to our visit to Angkor Wat.En savoir plus

    Day 13 Siem Reap

    22 avril, Cambodge ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    A huge day but we really loved it. We left the hotel at 8 am for a short drive through Siem Reap to Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat, one of the seven wonders of the works, is called the “City/Capital of Temples,” and is Cambodia’s magnificent Hindu-Buddhist temple complex. Spanning an impressive 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m²; 402 acres) within the ancient Khmer capital city of Angkor, it holds the title of the largest religious structure in the world. Initially constructed in 1150 CE as a Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Vishnu, Angkor Wat gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the century. We entered the area through gates lined with stone statues of gods and demons. The main temple was hugely impressive and our guide was able to tell us about much of its Buddhist and Hindu history. The carvings on the walls were amazing and there were hundreds of little rooms and corridors. We climbed up to the third floor by going up the outside of the building to the summit of the building - the part closest to the Heavens. Surprisingly there were not crowds of people which made for a relaxing walk, but the heat was immense and it was a relief to get back to the vehicle with our driver ready with cold towels and bottles of water. No sign of any monkeys either as too hot for them! We travelled on to Angkor Thom. Another temple with gates and and this time many ruins caused by a history of wars and people removing parts it over the years. The heat was incredible and we were pleased to be here for just 40 minutes. Our lunch was in a village in a lovely air conditioned restaurant where we ate traditional Cambodian dishes. We then moved on to Ta Prohm, a temple in the jungle. It is renowned for its extensive tree growth, with massive trees and their roots intricately entwined with the temple's structures. This temple is famously known as the "Tomb Raider Temple" due to its appearance in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Our guide took many of our photos and we were able to get some good tips on how to take good photos. The backdrop of the trees and jungle made this the more attractive temple. We arrived back at the hotel and within minutes were in the beautiful pool as the day was our hottest yet. We then wandered back into town for a relaxing dinner. The highlight was being the tenth customer to order the Tom Raider cocktail and the free drink drink was brought over to us accompanied by enthusiastic ringing of a bell and clapping by the other customers. We were pleased to be back in our cool rooms by 10pm to reflect on such stunning sights.En savoir plus

    Day 14 Siem Reap

    23 avril, Singapour ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

    A much quieter day as nothing planned apart from booking a show through our guide this morning. After lots of discussion Marrie and Malcolm decided to go to a show of celestial dancers and David and I decided to go to the Cambodian Circus. . The service of the guide was so good he even booked the tuk tuk ride for us. We spent a very hot morning wandering the markets of Siem Reap where everything could be bargained for. After a snack of spring rolls and and bruschetta we travelled by tuk tuk back to our hotel- a very trying trip as the driver got completely lost and we think we could have directed him there ourselves from the pick up point. The whole afternoon was spent relaxing by the beautiful pool. At 6 30 we were picked up by tuk tuk and taken to a restaurant in Pub Street for a delicious dinner. Our driver waited for us and then took us to the circus which was away from the CBD, and luckily in a well conditioned big top, even though we were given fans. It was a very cool show with acrobats and dancers who were very clever. Their performer was accompanied by a live band. We left the tent to find our driver. Once again he was patiently waiting for us. The service was amazing. Our ride home was good but it did take us around the back streets which were a bit grim with lots of stray dogs. Off to Singapore early tomorrow.En savoir plus

    Day 15 Siem Reap to Singapore

    24 avril, Singapour ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Left the lovely quiet airport in Siem Reap for Singapore at 11 and arrived at our huge hotel in Clarke Quay Singapore at 3 pm. We headed off by taxi to Raffles hotel where we all enjoyed the atmosphere and our Gin Slings along with the famous peanuts on the tables and all over the floor. David was also asked to mix the drinks using a very old cocktail shaker that mixed about 5 drinks at a time. We moved onto Clarke Quay for cheaper drinks and some dinner by the river. Our night ended with a beautiful boat ride down the river complete with commentary and a laser light show which was stunning. Singapore looked so beautiful at night but seemed a lot quieter than last time we were here.En savoir plus

    Day 16 Singapore.

    25 avril, Singapour ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

    A big day in Singapore starting with breakfast in the huge dining room. There were lots of people and much less relaxing than the other hotels. We then left to walk from Clarke Quay to the Gardens By The Bay. It was a long hot walk but plenty to see on the way and all so clean and tidy. At the gardens we boarded a shuttle to ride over to the Flower Dome and The Cloud. Even though we had been there before we loved them both just as much the second time. The displays inside are so beautiful and creative. Around every corner there is something more to see and best of all it was very a very cool temperature. Just beatiful and two hours went nowhere. We then left in a taxi for a 20 minute drive to a a huge outlet mall for some shopping. The shops were mainly sports clothing and David was able to find some cheap golf gear. Back at the hotel we enjoyed a drink at a bar and a rest before heading back out for the Marina Bay Sands hotel. We had purchased tickets online to go to the top but on arrival found it shut due to the occasional lightening strike which was happening. We were told to come back later so wandered off to find dinner- not an easy task in the most expensive part of town. Finally found a burger and craft beer restaurant which was a big average but great for people watching. We walked back and wandered around Marina Bay Hotel. Again so much to see and the money around the place was shown as we admired some men’s swimming trunks in one of the shops there to be told they were $580!!! Also got to see the laser light display for a second time and there were crowds lining the river for it. We finally lined up go to the sky deck- 57 floors high. The lift was thankfully very fast and the view more than worth it. Just spectacular. You could wander for an almost 360 degree view of Singapore. We left the hotel after more people watching and returned to our own lovely hotel.En savoir plus

    Day 17 Singapore

    26 avril, Singapour ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    A shopping day in Singapore. We headed for Orchard Road, and specifically the Uniqlo shop. It was massive and cheap! We spent a couple of hours shopping and were making our way back to the hotel when we could find no wifi to sort a taxi and there was a heavy shower of rain which we were caught in with our paper showing bags! Not good. Finally sorted a taxi and were relieved to get back to the Clarke Quay for a snack and a drink. We crossed the river to the hotel where David had a swim and I had a rest! We later had a lovely drink in the bar before making our way to China Town for a dinner of Peking Duck. It was a short walk back and we discussed plans for tomorrow’s departure over one final Singapore Sling and beer.En savoir plus

    Day 18 Singapore to Christchurch

    27 avril, Nouvelle-Zélande ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Our last day in Singapore - and the hottest! We headed off by taxi to the Singapore Flyer. The giant wheel can hold 750 people at one time and takes 45 to do a full rotation. The view was amazing and the commentary useful for knowing what to look for. We then walked for 15 minutes to view the Lion monument. We took some good photos, but were all too hot to spend too long out of the shade. We headed for Boat Quay where we had a snack for lunch before heading back to the coolness of the hotel even though we had already checked out. We sat in the bar and waited for our ride to the airport at 4 40. The airport itself was stress free and very easy and we finally boarded at 6 50 for the 9 hour flight home. It had been a wonderful holiday with Marrie and Malcolm, with so many new experiences -and a new appreciation for life in New Zealand.En savoir plus
