total blog neglect!

well i have been really bad, neglecting the blog.....shame on me!
i ended up staying in Stockholm for nearly 2 weeks, i didn't really do much there...well i did but didn't venture out of Stockholm really. I spent a lot of time exploring the streets and suburbs. Stockholm is really east to get around, there are metro stops everywhere if you can't bothered to walk and numerous lookouts where you can get a view of the beautiful watery city with all its boats buildings and charm.
The main vibe in Stockholm is it is really trendy, the young people in Stockholm live their fashion and trends and they are great at it! i saw the most beautiful and immaculate people here fashionable bars and pretentious clubs though we managed to find some alright places where the beer stayed below 6 pound and yes that is $14 AUD for a a pint of beer! the cheapest we found was 390 swedish kronor which is around $8 AUD for pint and that was really cheap, but then there was KUNG which you can buy from the government run bottle shops for 120 cronor which is like $2.60 AUD for half a litre....it isn't that bad.
here is some info on swedish beer

It's been a while

Well it's that time of time again! Paul and I are in the final stages of insecticiding our clothes and stuffing our packs and trying to break into our own combination locks. The plan is this: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam. 75 days. 3 border crossings. Some beach, some rivers, some lakes, some sub-zero mountain towns (Can't think why) and some runs diaries volume 2. This time round we're armed with a spanking new Nikon D90, bringing you the latest in photomatica and filmographity. Let's not forget two iPods totalling 160gB, two laptops (tiny ones) with another 40gb between them, and three, count them, three 16gB SD cards. Who said we'd be on holiday!? So stay tuned and live vicariously through us as we tread the path untrod. Well it's probably well trod, but nowhere else will you find such regular and informative blog entries. Peace-out!

Escape from Sapa

Leaving Sapa was harder than we thought! We moseyed on over to the 'official' train ticket office to find that the fare back to hanoi was 50,000 dong more expensive than the fare to Lao Cai. When we started pointing to the price sheet and what not (amongst ourselves) wondering what up with the price hike, the woman about to sell us tickets walks over and says 'Full, go to Binh Minh hotel.' We ask 'Huh? Where? If it's full (it must have filled up since we walked in the door and the woman must be getting live updates from her telekenetic antenna) how can a hotel sell us tickets?' She gave no further information, as to how this was possible or where this magic train emtpying hotel was located. Off we go back to our own hotel to ask them for tickets. 'We have tickets available,' they say, 'cost is 300,000 dong for hard sleeper.' Our hard sleeper fare from Hanoi to Lao Cai was only 140,000 dong for the top bunk, and we knew that the bottom bunk co...
