YEREVAN – ARMENIA
29/6/23 – 2/7/23 Today, we were heading across the border, and making our way south to Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. There is a train that does this journey, but it takes something like 13 hours overnight, and only operates on alternating days, and the journey by road only took about 6 hours total.…

TBILISI – GEORGIA
26/6/2023 – 29/6/2023 No time for breakfast today! We’ve got an early-ish flight to Tbilisi, so instead of breakfast, we’re in a taxi, headed to the airport! After arriving at Terminal 1, where we thought we were flying from, we ended up having to walk 50 metres over to Terminal 2, which despite the short…

BAKU – AZERBAIJAN
23/6/23 – 26/6/23 After spending most of the morning procrastinating, I finally got my act together and sorted myself out for my upcoming series of flights, and caught the train to the airport.

VIENTIANE – LAOS
5/2/23 – 8/2/23 I departed from the old Siem Reap International Airport (since been replaced by Siem Reap-Angkor Airport) on a Bangkok Airways ATR-72, bound for Bangkok. Siem Reap didn’t, at least at the time of my visit, have any direct connections with its northern neighbour, Laos, and so I needed to route through Bangkok…

SIEM REAP – CAMBODIA
2/2/2023 – 5/2/2023 My bus to Siem Reap left from the same place I was dropped off at several days earlier, which meant that at the very least, I wasn’t fumbling around trying to find a bus stop that morning! Whilst my time in Cambodia’s capital had focussed on the country’s more recent (and disturbing)…

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…
