Pam and I hopped a flight from Berlin to Zurich, Switzerland , where we would begin a train-based journey through the Swiss Alps . While planning our Berlin trip, I had been looking for something interesting to add on afterward. During my search I stumbled across a company called Railbookers . They specialize in rail...]]></description><link>https://www.baandpaadventures.com/post/switzerland-by-train</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b61b885f6a1e874c587800</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Mar 2026 04:32:11 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/01d16c_f007ac25a5ca422cb80be6c1296f3aec~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>swedeshouse</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Africa – The Trip of a Lifetime]]></title><description><![CDATA[This trip was the one that first got me thinking about capturing our vacations and memorializing them somehow . Years ago, Pam and I were going through her dad Jim’s treasure box of keepsakes. Inside was a document written by his father , describing a boat trip he had taken with friends through the Chesapeake waterways of the United States . The document carefully cataloged travel routes, meals, adventures, and places visited. I remember thinking how fascinating it was to read about someone’s...]]></description><link>https://www.baandpaadventures.com/post/africa-the-trip-of-a-lifetime</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69b4abdb6f1601b21824f89b</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2026 02:32:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/01d16c_517602a0f8d04cf2b5de9c40aa77c47a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>swedeshouse</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Video from Vietnam and Cambodia]]></title><description><![CDATA[Motor bikes in Hue Paula giving it her best Onboard Cambodian dancers City tour of Siem Reap via Tuk Tut with Pam Monkey see Monkey do in Angkor Wat The Matco tool man of Cambodia or the mobile dollar store Keeping the flies away at a local market in Cambodia A last good bye to the crew of R.V.

Apparently even halfway around the world your immune system still knows how to ruin a good night. We headed down to breakfast which, like everything at this hotel, was included with the room. The spread was impressive but we went local with a traditional Cambodian soup along with fruit and yogurt. While visiting with our server we mentioned the sore throat...]]></description><link>https://www.baandpaadventures.com/post/vietnam-cambodia-chapter-5</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ae35cc053d59350a12a32e</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Mar 2026 03:41:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/01d16c_1646b4a55e7f46fb84c2fbf22a1973ad~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>swedeshouse</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vietnam &#38; Cambodia Chapter 4]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mekong River Days – From Vietnam into Cambodia (Pandaw Cruise Journal – February 16–22) February 16 — Day 2: Coconut Candy, Canoes, and Rodney’s Pancakes The day started quietly on the sundeck , coffee in hand, watching a handful of dedicated guests doing tai chi  while the Mekong drifted slowly past. It’s a peaceful way to wake up—river mist, soft morning light, and the occasional clink of coffee cups.

Our last morning on the central coast of Vietnam started well before sunrise. We were up and out the door by 5:45 a.m.  to meet our driver and guide for the shuttle to Da Nang Airport . Waiting for us in the lobby was a thoughtful touch: a pre-ordered box breakfast , ready to go. Coffee in hand and bags loaded, we slipped into the quiet early-morning streets for the 45–55 minute drive  to the airport.

About an hour into the trip we pulled into Lang Co Bay , a small coastal fishing and oyster farming village sitting on a narrow strip of sand between the mountains and the sea.

Ours started early with a 7:30 a.m. ride to the airport , kicking off what would become a nearly 30-hour journey across three countries  before finally arriving in Hue, Vietnam. Luck was already on our side before we even left the ground.
