Arrival in Tbilisi. A little tired – after an early morning flight and a long lay-over in Kiev – but super excited. We started to feel welcome straight from the airport — Tbilisi Loves You signs are everywhere. Little did we know, the slogan is for free public wifi, which most of the time did…
We made it to the Tibetan village of Tagong, high up in the mountains, where we visited a monastery after a lengthy hike fighting altitude weakness.
We take the “bus” (aka minivan) from Ha Tien to Can Tho — the supposedly 5 hour ride is more like 6, with frequent pit stops to drop off and pick up passengers and goods. Though long, and short on comfort, there is quite interesting scenery as the bus passes through small settlements and towns…
These 9 months of travel have been an incredible learning experience. We’ve seen a lot of good bits: spectacular nature, beautiful people and fascinating cultures.

Happy international women’s day from Phetchaburi, Thailand. To celebrate, a little tour of our wonderful guesthouse, 2N. While we get around to publishing a detailed post about Phetchaburi and our stay there, you can have a look at the 2N website if you are heading that way.
