The Retirees Travel Guide Series
|
A Retirees Guide to South East Asia, Cambodia, Vietnam, The Philippines and Laos is the second book in The Retiree Series of travel books. The books are aimed at retirees or future retirees who want to enjoy their retirement years travelling and seeing places that they maybe couldn't afford or did not have time for when they were working and raising a family. Sixty is the new forty so most of us are fitter and healthier than our parents were, and when you retire there is a whole world out there waiting for you to discover it. This is a journal of a two month trip that I took through Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Laos. I did this trip on a budget, surviving on my pension. During that time I ticked off many items on my bucket list, ate and drank well, saw some breathtaking sights and did some amazing things including:
The beauty of Angkor Wat and watching the sunrise over the temples.
The atrocities of the Killing Fields and S_21 Prison in Phnom Phen.
Sailed on the mighty Mekong River.
Crawled through Vietnams Chu Chi Tunnels and visited the war museum.
Explored the ancient cities of Ho Chi Min and Hanoi.
Had clothing made to measure by expert tailors in Hoi An.
Cruised Vietnams Halong Bay.
Experienced Wind Surfing in Boracay and saw Bohol's Chocolate Hills in the Philippines.
Explored Vientiane in Laos.
My philosophy is the more I can save when travelling, the more I can travel, having said that, be frugal not cheap. Look for deals and don't waste money, but don't miss out on great experiences or walk miles to save money.
