Hostels

So in between all my sniffing and sneezing, I've been booking hostels for my trip.

I know I said I was gonna wait until I get to each place but I've changed my mind.

Looking through the guidebook today, there is so much that I wanna see in each place. I need months to cover everywhere I wanna go. But I have to be selective and narrow it down into 2.5 weeks.

And I don't wanna have to waste time looking for somewhere to stay. I've found 4 really cheap ones so far so it's not like I'm gonna be ripped off or anything - and sure, you MAY find something cheaper when you get there but I'm a sucker for traveller reviews - they give you a much better idea of what you're getting.

But I can't book for everything - just the main things that I definitely know I'm gonna be doing. Like, I KNOW I'm gonna be spending 2 days in Bangkok, 3 days in Siem Reap and 3 days in Luang Prabang. I haven't booked anything in between though coz I'm not sure where I'm gonna be. I wanted to spend a night in Ko Phi Phi but it's just not worth all that money for a pretty beach and none of the cheaper accommodation is available. Looks like I'm gonna be doing that as a day trip from Phuket instead. Which is still worthwhile. It looks soooo beautiful.

I just wish I had more time.

And on that note, I'm going to bed. I'm not tired but I need to make sure I get enough rest so I'm not tempted to call in sick tomorrow with this cold.

I'm at the sneezing stage now and it's doing my head in!!

Goodnight
