Kuala Lumpur

Second country up is Malaysia. We decided to check out one of the largest cities in Malaysia and also the hill country.

The AirBnB we stayed at was beautiful! It was an apartment within this HUGE apartment complex, The Faces Suites. There was an infinity pool on the 57th floor.

 
Those views were amazing! Luckily I am getting over my fear of heights and really enjoyed the restaurant/bar and pool.

The first night we were pretty wiped out from Singapore and traveling. We relaxed at the pool with a couple beers.
The second day we got up bright and early and visited the Batu Caves. This colorfully designed Hindu Temple is located in Bombak, Selangor, Malaysia. I would suggest if you ever go, to go early!
We went around 7am and had the whole place to ourselves!


We found the most delicious breakfast cafe- BubbleBee Cafe. The fruit smoothies were so fresh! They were much needed after walking around HOT Kuala Lumpur.
Strawberry-Lychee Smoothie

After a muggy day of exploring other temples amongst Kuala Lumpur we decided to take full advantage of our infinity pool. We had a couple beers and relaxed.

One thing I learned about Malaysia- there are not many toliets. Most bathrooms just have a hole in the ground and you need to use the bidet to 'clean' yourself. This is going to be a hard concept for me; especially since it smells like a zoo too!

Scooters, Scooters EVERYWHERE!!

We arrived in Ho Chi Minh and what a drastic change it was from Siem Reap. There were so many people, cars and motorbikes. I really enjoyed and laid back feel of Siem Reap; now time for a busy city. We grabbed a taxi and headed to District 1. Our hostel was located right in the middle of the restaurant and bar district. Once we dropped our bags off at the hostel we walked down the main street and grabbed a coffee at a local egg coffe shop. After the Vietnam War there was a shortage of milk, so the Vietnamese started using egg in their coffee. It was delicious! It was a creamy, frothy texture and did not taste like egg. It came to be a favorite coffee place; even for Amber who is a tea-aholic! For dinner we went to a Pho soup place- it was savory and very filling. I am still going strong on my soup kick. When continued to explore District 1 and grabbed a few drinks before calling it a night. The next day we wandered around the local market; you could literally buy anything y...

First Stop of the Southeast Asia Tour- Singapore

I have always been interested in Southeast Asia, but never thought I would have the chance to go. I went to Europe on my own, but I felt this trip I needed some travel buddies. When I first met Gina in Hawaii she mentioned going to Thailand after the assignment. Well, that interest is becoming a reality. Gina, Amber and myself are doing a trip through Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Amber is a fellow travel nurse that also has a passion, for well, travel. Getting to Singapore was a daunting thought- 24 hours on a plane. But it actually was not that bad, All Nippon Airways was great! They had comfy seating, excellent entertainment, surprisely good food and very nice flight attendants. Burger patty, rice, carrots; salad; noodle soup; antipasto; spinach and chicken salad; vanilla ice cream I landed in Singapore around 11:30pm, so I decided to just grab a hotel and shower and get some rest. It was a very charming hotel, that was previously an Opera H...

Ciao from the city of canals and hidden streets!

August 7, 2015 Venice- It was an obstacle to get to you! From Paris we walked to the metro, took the metro to the bus, took the bus to the airport, took a plane to Venice airport, took a bus to the city centre and then walked to our accommodation.   When we arrived it was very very warm, 95 degrees! Such a change from chilly, damp Dublin. We had a bit of a journey finding our next AirBnB place; something I didn't know was the streets on Googlemaps don't really match what is truly here. So we wondered around for a while until we had to ask for help. We stopped at this very nice hotel and the staff there were amazing. They helped us call the owner of the apartment we were staying at and walked with us to ensure we got there safely. This local man working at the hotel did not have an idea where the apartment was, so it took awhile, but we found it! We probably would not have found it without his help. When we arrived at the apartment, it wasn't exactly what w...
