Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City via London

I would advise that nobody should try to fly all the way across the world and back in a week unless they REALLY REALLY have to. Getting of the plane at Heathrow and immediately going into central London on a packed commuter tube train with jet lag killed us. But, long story short, we got our Chinese visas!

It was so nice to go home, see the family, hug the dogs and spend some time drinking tap water and relaxing. It turned out to be a great recharge of the travelling batteries and the perfect opportunity to offload some useless space wasting items we hadn’t even used, as well as the chance the stock up on some essentials like paracetamol and toothpaste – we just wish we could have done it under less stressed, last minute circumstances! You live and learn…
