PHNOM PENH – CAMBODIA
31/1/2023 – 2/2/2023 As we drove out of Saigon, the landscape rapidly became less urbanised, and farmland becomes the defining feature of the world outside of the bus windows. The border crossing process was relatively straightforward – the bus dropped us off at Vietnamese exit control, and only a short amount of queuing was required.…

SAIGON – VIETNAM
28/1/23 – 31/1/23 I finally found my accommodation for my time in Saigon – 60 Inn, located down an alley not far from Tao Dan Park. This accommodation was really well situated and came equipped with a small kitchen – not that I intended to do any cooking! – and the owner, Sonny, was still…

Following this, it was another 20 minute walk to my accommodation for the night. Urgench is an incredibly Soviet city, with large, tree-lined boulevards, and colossal concrete buildings dotting the landscape. As…

KHIVA – UZBEKISTAN
29/6/2022 – 2/7/2022 I woke up this morning, ate breakfast, and made sure that I was ready to depart for Khiva. There are several ways to get from Bukhara to Khiva, including a train line, private drivers, shared taxis, and marshrutkas. I had spoken to the guy who ran the place I had stayed at…
