Adventures of Scooter and Hales
Two traveling souls off to our next adventure
As the holiday season starts to take over, we are finding ourselves slowing down, staying places for longer periods of time (and forgetting to post to the blog). We've been busy. Okay, scratch that, I've been studying, and Scott has been "busy" watching football and a new show on Netflix. It has felt good to…
From the Maldives we flew into Bangkok, Thailand enroute to Phuket. We were a bit exhausted being on the move every day for the last four nights but being in Thailand was the perfect change of pace. Our intention was to spend one night in Bangkok (in an air bnb within walking distance to the…
***We've (Hali) gotten a bit behind on posting! Been enjoying the last two weeks too much! Sorry for the delay*** We arrived pretty late into the Male from Sri Lanka, but our flight was earlier inbound then expected. As soon as we arrived, we had to go to the local Sim card office at the…
We spent the most time in Matara out of all the cities in Sri Lanka, but our time there seemed to fly by. After the struggle of getting our driver to the accommodation, he tried to get us to pay more than the agreed upon price. His claim was that our place was outside of…
Our journey to Tangalle started off early, too early for my liking. Scott scheduled a driver to come pick us up at 2am so that we would get to Yala National Park in time for our morning safari. We orginally arranged for a 4am pickup, but we found out because of the heavy rains there…
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…
