Day 43 So today was the day we went to Koh Rong Samloem to find our first beach! We boarded a boat with 3 Cambodian men who took us to the island. As we were the only passengers the boat was rocking everywhere. The trip took about 2 1/2 hours and man did I feel sea sick! We arrived at "The Lazy Beach Resort" and stayed in one of the newest bungalows - bungalow number 18 which was only 5 months old. The resort was beautiful. We also had geckos living in our bunga...

Day 39 We arrive in Sihanoukville after a 6 hour bus journey at our new accommodation "The Small Hotel". We chat to the receptionist about what to do in the area and decide to go the beach the following day as the hotel offers a free ride and also has a bar there. The hotel is situated quite far away from the town and we were both tired from the bus journey so have a relaxed evening with a few Angkor beers. Day 40 The Tuk Tuk was due to pick us up at 9am but a...

Day 36 I hate to be the bearer of bad news as I wanted this blog to be quite upbeat but after one bad day things then got worse....we had booked a flight to Cambodia to the capital - Phnom Penh.

Day 35 After a 4 hour bus journey we arrive in Vientiane and get a Tuk Tuk to our new guesthouse "Vientiane Star Hotel". We walk around a bit to see what there is to do but being a capital city all you get is people trying to sell you things and offer you Tuk Tuk rides. Like Bangkok it is very annoying. Slightly more annoying however was the fact that when we checked the foreign currency in our bags we realised that a £20 note, $100 Bill and $20 New Zealand dol...

Day 31 (continued) So after a long day of travelling we went out to grab some dinner & drinks....however we only managed the latter. We bumped into friends from the hostel in Chiang Rai and drank a lot of beer Lao! Hannah then saw that you get a free vest with every 2 cocktails bought. 4 cocktails later we had a vest each and decided to go to the local club with a group of 4 Belgian friends who were on our bus. I would write more about the evenings events ho...
