Day 0 - Preparing to leave


I'm all packed and I have got everything I need for the next quarter of a year on my back... I hope. Flying at 20:30 from Heathrow, and then there's a 6h 40min flight to Qatar, Doha airport (below).

Qatar, Doha:


Once landed, I have 50 mins to find Lukas & Petr (Who have just flown from Czech republic, to Germany, and then onto Qatar) and get on the connecting flight (07:30 departure Qatar time) that takes us all to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon - below), Vietnam together. The connecting flight takes us a further 7h 20mins, landing 18:50 Vietnam time (+7h GMT) - just enough time to dump our bags in the hotel we booked for the first two nights, get a bite to eat, and crash out.

Ho-Chi-Minh, Vietnam:


The plan from there on in is pretty non-existent. Find our bearings, get our hair cut, and then figure out what we want to do first. Our rough journey plan is to follow the Mekong from North to South, zig-zagging or way through Cambodia & Laos along the way, and maybe a few other countries too...? Vietnam is the backbone for out travels - where we have our 3 month Visa, the rest we get along the way as and when we need them. The adventure begins! Stay tuned!

Happy new year everyone!!!
