Well, the monsoon has definitely hit Lao now, we had about ... http://littleworld.co.uk/blog/?p=134 Help! I am stuck in a hammock on a beautiful white sand thai beach unable to reach my oreo cookie coconut milkshake. Such woe!

Advice appreciated http://littleworld.co.uk/blog/?p=107 We've been here for a couple of weeks and are flying to Lao tomorrow, so an overview: A very different place indeed. We started in Phnom Penh, which impressed me far more than I was expecting. A much more western city than any in Vietnam, close to China in road conditions; ... http://littleworld.co.uk/blog/?p=106 I feel it's endemic of me growing older that I'm increasingly less inclined to fiddle and tweak things and that am generally happier when things work out of the box especially while I'm off travelling.

We planned on having a few days rest here after the hectic schedule through China Hong Kong, as a place it combines beach holiday with trekking, climbing and boating, all in the most stunning scenery. I'm ... http://littleworld.co.uk/blog/?p=42 Sorry, it has been a long while since Bry and I have blogged. Alas Internet access was sparse and dire around China. So here's a very quick update.
