Adventures of Scooter and Hales
Two traveling souls off to our next adventure
Without even having been in Ella for more than 12 hours Scott was already looking for reasons to stay an extra night. He told me that it may be his favorite town in Asia thus far. Our accommodation definitely helped sell that point. We got in super late the first night so all we could…
Kandy is the second largest city in Sri Lanka, Colombo being the first. But it seems so much smaller, I don’t know if that’s because we didn’t explore too much other than around our accommodation or that they cities on this little island are already small to begin with. According to Google, so who knows…
We arrived late into Sri Lanka after a bit of a delayed flight out of Dubai. We had less than 24 hours in Colombo and were a bit exhausted from a day of travel, but we tried to make the best of it. From the airport we got an Uber to our Air bnb. The…
Going from one of the poorest countries to one of the richest in the world can offer a lot of perspective. Nepal was wonderful, we really loved it. We went into Dubai with very few expectations. We knew there was going to be a lot of wealth and we pegged it as one of those…
Pokhara is the adrenaline capital of Nepal. It’s the Queenstown of New Zealand, but way cheaper. You can do anything here: bungee jump, white water raft, kayak, trek, paraglide, if there’s something extreme you want to do on a budget, this is the place to do it. Also, because it is set a bit up…
Our time in Kathmandu was short and sweet. We landed from Delhi mid afternoon during what happened to be a holiday in Nepal that equates to Christmas for the Nepalese as our host described it. This meant that traffic was low, and most shops and restaurants were closed until the following day. The lack of…
Getting to India already started as chaos. After driving too long to the airport, we waited for our airline check-in, and then headed to the lounge. Probably one of the better lounges we’ve been to in an airport. It had a great variety of food, showers, massages, and a bar. It did the job for…
Going our separate ways from Melody and Michael was bittersweet. We were excited to hear about all the rest of their travels, but it was also really fun to have another couple around that has a similar dynamic to us! I know Scott and I are definitely looking forward to traveling with them in the…
For what was supposed to be a relatively short day of travel it was longer and more exhausting than anticipated. Going through customs when we arrived in Bali took much longer than expected and then hunting down a Grab driver was a whole different fiasco. When we walked out of the arrivals gate there was…
The first stop in Asia was Singapore, well technically it was South Korea because we had a ten hour layover in Seoul. Our intention was to quickly get out of the airport and head downtown to a market because we are big fans of Korean food (we are big fans of basically all food but…
