Got back home on Thursday and then Friday Kirsty was off on a girls trip to the South Burnett for the night. We enjoyed tasting, drinking and sampling all the local goodies. Helping the small business economy.

Last stop was Siem Reap, Cambodia. We visited 3 temples. It was so amazing to see buildings that are a thousand years old and still standing today. Would love to have visited them at night time.
Had a manicure and another massage before leaving.

Hello Phnom Penh! 🇰🇭
After an 8-hour bus ride (and a border crossing!), we finally arrived in Phnom Penh. With just a little time left in the day, our tour group headed out for dinner and drinks—and what a fun night it was! We’re really starting to click with the group and have shared so many laughs already.

The next morning, we explored the city on foot, dodging Tuk Tuk offers every 10 metres 😂 A quick stop at the local markets, followed by some much-needed pedicures (don’t worry, not Brett! 😂), and then a delicious Korean BBQ for dinner.

Now we’re off again—this time a 6-hour bus ride to Siem Reap. 🚌

After our big day touring the Mekong Delta, we were way too tired to risk our lives crossing the streets again — so we kept it simple and headed to a Thai restaurant near the hotel.

But after sitting there for 15 minutes with zero service, we made the obvious call…

Can you guess where we ended up?
Yep — back at Heart of Darkness.

Good food, great wine, cold beer — and they actually serve you. So really, why not? 🤷‍♀️

Next stop: Cambodia! 🇰🇭✈️

Today was a full-day adventure to the riverside city of My Tho, on the banks of the Mekong Delta.

We kicked things off with a motorboat cruise along the Mekong to Unicorn Island, then swapped to canoes to glide through the smaller jungle-lined canals — a peaceful, scenic part of the journey.

Along the way, we stopped at a local family’s home to enjoy fresh tropical fruit and listened to beautiful traditional Vietnamese music performed by the villagers — such a special experience.

Next, we visited a coconut candy workshop where everything is made by hand. We watched the entire process and got to taste-test the final product (yum!).

But now… the important stuff:
We drank snake wine. Yes, actual wine that’s been soaking with venomous snakes for months. The guide scooped it straight out of a jar — with snakes still inside. 🐍🍷

And then… Kirsty held a snake! Brett did too, but since he’s not terrified of them, it’s not quite headline-worthy. For Kirsty, though, this was huge. Eeeek! Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime thing we don’t need to repeat. 😅

We wrapped up the day with a local lunch and explored an area with crocodiles, toads, snakes, and catfish. Because clearly, there weren’t enough reptiles already.

Still in Ho Chi Minh City. We headed to the street food market for some dinner. The walk was crazy. Here pedestrian crossings mean nothing and the walking cross lights are just a suggestion to put your life at risk. We made it out alive but only just! After that, we headed back to the Heart of Darkness for more beer and wine and partied on with some of our tour group. It was a great night sharing stories with our new friends.
