Journeys End
Today is our last day in Bangkok. This afternoon we leave and fly home. I can't believe it's all over already. It seems to have gone so quickly. Just thought I would share some of the highlights of the trip.
Working in the schools in Cambodia was the highlight for me. I loved getting to know the local people and teaching the children something new.
I still find it amazing to think how grateful they were and how much they wanted to learn when they had nothing. It really makes you appeciate what you have and I would recommend volunteering the way we did to anyone. Cambodia is an amazing place with outstanding people.
Diving in Vietnam was wonderful. I think mainly because it was the first diving I've done. It's a bit nerve wracking at first but once you get used to it, it becomes a lot easier. Once you get over the in-built survial instinct to try and keep yourself above the water its fine.
It's just a different world down there , and it was amazing to see all the fish, just like on Finding Nemo.
I also loved spending time in Sapa. It was so different from everywhere else we went. The people were friendly, most of them wearing traditional dress and the scenery was amazing, and seeing everything appearing and disappearing in the mist was magical.
It's an superb feeling travelling to a new town or city, or even country and trying to imagine what it's like. You've read the guide book and other people have told you about it but it's so exciting getting there and seeing for yourself, knowing that every single day when you get up you're going to see something completely new and breathtaking.
