MUI NE... MORJE, SONCE, PESCENE SIPINE

Naprej proti severu v prijetno obmorsko vasico Mui ne s pesceno belo plazo, velikimi valovi in nekaj naravnimi znamenitostmi (pescene rdece in bele sipine, rdeci potocki, pescenimi kanjoni...

Fotoaparat sem pripeljala v njegovo domovino, pa je vseeno ZARADI PREVELIKE ZLORABE (kot vidite na spodnjih slikah)... OZ. HM, HM ZARADI NEPRAVILNE UPORABE ZAL CRKNIL ... Cez kak teden smo v glavnem mestu Hanoi pobrali mal peska ven iz objektiva, pa je spet delal. Nauk te storije je... uporaba makra na fotoaparatu, veter in pesek ne greta skupaj :) Tukaj so zadnji izdihljaji...

I have continued toward the north into nice village by the sea- Mui ne. Nice sandy beach, big waves in few natural sights (white and red sand dunes, red stream, sandy cannyon...). Although I brought my camera to it's home has BROKEN DOWN cos of overuse (as you can see on the pictures below)... actually hm, hm cos of uncorrect use. After one week we took some send out of the lens and it worked again. Doctrine of this story is that macro using, wind and sand doesn't go together :)

GOOD MOOOORNING VIETNAAAAM :)

Slovenia se je ocitno nekaj zamerila Vietnamu... mi bogi Slovencki dobimo vizo samo za 14 dni (za razliko od ostalih, ki dobijo za 30 dni). Z dobrim planom sem uspela obiskati 7 razlicnih mest... pricela sem v mestu Ho Chi Minh na jugu, kjer sem se po 4 mesecih pocutila kot v evropi... kljub naguzvanem mestu (12 mio motorjev) in mnogih soping centrih je mesto zelo prijetno za popotnike. Tukaj sem ponovno srecala Clare, Joyce in Nathana... skupaj smo obiskali mesto in raziskali nocno zivljenje.

Cos I got visa for Vietnam only for 14 days I needed to make a very good plan to see most of it. Started in Ho Chi Minh city on the south where I felt like in Europe after 4 months.... very crowded city (12 mio motorbikes), but the stile of the city (especially the backpacker's area) is very pleasent. Here I met Clare (once again after Cambodia), Joyce and Nathan, together we visited the sights and explored the night life...

Katedrala (koncno nekaj domacega po dolgem casu)... z Joyce sva obiskali velicastne dvorane mestne palace....

Ta pa je mocna... cel svet drzi v rokah (vodnike mnogih drzav).... in vietnamska 'siesta' pa kjerkoli ze :)

She must be strong... almost the whole world in her hands (loads of guides)... and vietnam 'siesta' wherever you are :)

Plazenje v vojnih podzemnih tunelih... crowling through the tunnels used in Vietnam war...

Po domace smo sli tudi v kino.... Sex and the city (se vidi da smo bile zenske v vecini)

As at home we went in the cinema... Sex and the city (you can see women were in majority)

NAS TOVARIS TITO U PIDZAMA COUNTRY

Zelo zivahno in pestro glavno mesto Pnom Penh ima nekaj znamenitosti in zgodovine.... ko jih boste zeleli videt, se boste ze pozanimali.... ampak tukaj je tudi nekaj nase zgodovine.... AMPAK KLE JE TUT NEKAJ NASE ZGODOVINE. Nasla sem ulico v centru mesta... v eno smer se imenuje Jugoslavije, v drugo smer pa Josip B. Tito... Zdele lahka vidmo zakaj je bil tok popularn, valda k je postavlal svoje ulice vse povsod po svetu :) ....
The capital city - Pnom Penh has some interesting sights and history...you will find out which when you would want to see them... but here is some our history too. I found the street in the center.... one way is named Street Yugoslavie and the other was is named after it's president (our ex president) Josip B. Tito. Now we can see, why our president was so popular all over the world... cos he was making streets all over the world of course :) .....









Zakaj pidzama country... ker so vse tete oblecene v pizamo, ne glede na cas, plac, druzbo.... Cel dan!!! Ujela sm dve teti na trznici, tretja je pozirala poleg tipicnega azijskega 'hladilnika'.
Why pijama country... cos the ladies are wearing pijamas all the time, everywhere,... I cought two of them in the market, the third one was posing with tipical Asian fridge.

MORJE/SONCE/DEZ V CAMBODIJI

Po treh mesecih sem koncno spet uzivala v morju, soncu, pescenih plazah in dobri morski hrani... vse skupaj je pocitek polepsala tudi prijetna druzba.
After 3 months I finally enjoyed sun, sea, sandy beaches, good sea food... topping on the cake was also good company!!!

ANGKOR WAT - 7. NAJVECJA ZNAMENITOST

Ko si enkrat v Cambodiji je obvezen ogled 8. najvecje svetovne znamenitosti - ANGKOR WAT.... Takoj, ko sem prisla v Siem Reap sem si zrihtala motorin (jupiiii) za ogled lepot tega ogromnega mesta templjev iz 11. stoletja. Templje sem si hotela v miru ogledat sama, da lahko naredim tudi kaksno dobro fotko.... Po dveh dneh voznje z vetrom v laseh, sem ugotovila, da za turiste ni dovoljen najem motorjev in ogled templjev z njimi... vsi so me sprasevali, ce govorim kmerski jezik ali ce delam v Cambodiji... Nisem niti vedela.... Ja moj sofer ni znal ravno najbolje anglesko, da bi mi objasnil pravila - da je ogled templjev mozen samo z najetim soferjem ali turisticnim vodicem... ni mel druge, kot da mi je dal motor v najem.... Po moje cele 3 dni ni spal. No tukaj je nekaj naj posnetkov.
If you are in Cambodia must place is 8th world attraction - TEMPELS ANGKOR WAT... As I ended up in city Siem Reap I arranged a motorbike (jupiii) to visit all the beauties of this enormous place full of tempels from 11th centuary. I wanted to see them by myself to make some good photos. After two days I found out that it is forbidden for turist to rent the motorbikes.... everybody were asking me if I speak Khmer or if I work there... I didn't even know... the driver did not speak english very good to explain me the rules (that I have to rent a driver or turist guide) and had no choice than to rent me the motorbike. Probably he didn't sleep for a couple of days.... Here are some best shots....

VZHODNA CAMBODIA

Julijan... brihten decko iz Kanade je na izmenjavi studentov v Singapurju in obcasno izkoristi priloznost za potepanje po JV Aziji. Srecala sva se ze v Laosu, ob ponovnem srecanju pri preckanju meje pa sva ugotovila, da imava priblizno isti namen - najprej obiskati odmaknjene vasice vzhodne Cambodie. Pri najini misiji naju je se najbolj oviral transport, saj so odmaknjeni predeli Camobodie tezko prehodni (dzungla). Potovanje smo zaceli s 'pick up jeepom' in sicer nismo sedeli v jeepu ampak zadaj na vrecah riza. Mama vem, da tega ne odobravas... sej jst tut ne... sam ni druge, tko se vsi vozjo. Voznja je trajala celih 6 ur, 2 krat nas je dez namocil in 2 krat nas je soncek osusil. Preziveli smo!!! Tole je bil nas prevoz in blatna cesta skozi junglo - prava avantura.
Julian... smart boy from Canada is at the moment on student exchange in Singapure. When there is a chance he goes travelling on SE Asia. We have had already met in Laos before and later then when crosing the border to Cambodia. We found out that we have the same aim... first to visit rural villages on East Cambodia. When trying to complete our mission transtport was the biggest problem, because that part is more or less jungle and it is impassable by normal buses. So we started on 'pick up jeep' sitting at the back on bags of rice. Mum I know you do not approve this... neither do I, but no other way... this is how they travel. The ride was 6 hours long, twice we were cought by rain and twice drought by sun.

No zdej vidte zakaj je bilo vredno to cjazenje - narava je neverjetna... mali hribcki, slapovi in veliko kratersko jezero, kjer smo se naplavali...

By pictures you can see that this trip was worth it - the countryside is incredible... litle hills and slopes, waterfalls and big crateur lake, where we could swim...

Skoraj vsak dan je bila pozno popoldanska orng ploha... enkrat nismo uspeli uiti nevihti in smo bli v minuti mokri ko cucki.

Almost every day was late afternoon cloudburst... once we didn't make to the shelter and we were soaked to skin in a minute.

Ti soferji so nori (kriminalci!!!), ce se le da bodo nalozili celo familjo na motor (tud po 5 ali 6 se jih vozi na motorju) in tako naju je vodic oba nalozu in popeljal na slapove. Tudi na in v kombi bodo nalozili boga in pol.

This drivers are crazy (kriminals!!!!). They would drive the whole familiy or bags of rice on a motor if there is possibility (there could be also 5 on motor bike). So there were three of us sitting on motorbike when going to see the lake and waterfall. They also love to overload vans with everything you can imagine.

JUG LAOSA: PAKSE & 4000 OTOKOV

Pocasi proti jugu... Savanakhet in Pakse... Iz mesta Pakse sem 3 dni z motorinom raziskovala bliznji nacinalni park Bolaven Plateau... in 'domorodce'.
Slowly towards south... Savanakhet and Pakse... From Pakse I went with motorbike for 3 days to explore nearest national park Bolaven Plateau and 'aborigines'.

Takole pa zraste kavica, ki jo vsako jutro radi srknemo... Laozani pripravijo odlicno kavo z mlekom... in seveda z ogromno ledu.

Coffee that we like to drink it every morning is planted like this.... In Laos you can get tasty cofee with milk.... and of course a lot of ice.

Tik pred preckanjem meje v Camobodio je se ena obvezna postojanka na reki Mekong - SI PHAN DON (4000 OTOKOV). Na 14 km siroki reki se prepletajo sipine, kanali, slapovi, ceri in otocki... Otocke polne rizevih polj okrasujejo palmova drevesa. Razigrani otroci v reki, pridelovalci riza, ribici in zenske, ki perejo perilo popestrijo popoldansko voznjo s kolesom po otocku. Je postojanka, kjer ni veliko za pocet, je pa zame bil najbolj relaxing plaz. Popotniki take plaze zelo hitro izvohamo, tako da je tu veliko poceni hostlov, restavracij in barckov za uzivat.

There is one more 'must place' before crossing the boarder to Cambodia - SI PHAN DON (4000 IRELANDS). Here the Mekong river fans out forming network of channels, rocks, sandbars and islets 14 km wide. The islets full of rice fields are decorated by palm trees. The round-island cycle through rice fields was diversified by kids playing in the river, farmers, fishermans and women that were wasing clother in the river. There is not a lot to do here, but for me was one of the most relaxing place in Laos. Of course backpackers find places like this very fast, so here are many chip guesthouses, restaurants and bars to enjoy.
