Bucket lists are for everyone else. That’s what I thought until I wanted to travel and now I have a bucket list that is as long as your arm. Vietnam and Cambodia have been on my list since the start though and now I’m going to see two of the places from my “Always” wanted to list.

Another early start following another rubbish nights sleep. My brain will not switch on to Vietnam time! Set off at 7:30am for a 5k ride to a local temple. It was stunning (see pics). From there we set off on our 90k ride through mostly rice paddies. Scenery didn’t disappoint. There was a mix of …
