For me this is a big success on a Sunday morning….

After Halong Bay my next planned stop was Ninh Binh. I heard that there quite a few tourist attractions in the surrounding area, but I decided to follow some advise I got and booked a three day trip with a guide called Toan.

My first stop of my three month journey was Kanachanburi. The place was always on my list as I wanted to see the Bridge of the River Kwai and part of the Death-railway. My interest in history finally won and I arrived here. Keep on reading!

It was time, after planning my trip to SEA over the last two month it was finally time to enter the plane that will bring me from Europe to SEA – Thailand to be precise. I won’t bother to talk about the flight – as long it arrives in one piece, in time and with my luggage I am happy. And all three boxes were ticked.
