VERDICT OF SOUTH-EAST ASIA

Mr F: Absolutely loved it! Three very different countries but all with some special memories. Vietnam is crazy but my favourite place....can't put my finger on why??

Mrs F: Really enjoyed traveling through Asia, seeing all different types of culture and experiencing it along with some fantastic food! Met some interesting people I will never forget and although we have the photos of all the amazing things we've seen, they will forever be in my memory. Photos can't do any of the places we've seen any justice and thank God for not only looking after us and being with us every day, but also for giving us this wonderful opportunity to explore the natural wonders of his world. My favourite places were Everest Base Camp, Phuket and Ha Long Bay. Although I've loved spending time in Asia, I'm really looking forward to the next chapter in the Farnsie Nomads travels......New Zealand!
