The night bus to Sihanoukeville from Battambang went via Phnom Penh and arrived in Sihanoukville at 12pm. I booked into my $1.50 accom which even had a pool, gym and 6 restaurants...go figure why don't they have those around more often?! Enjoyed the beach here and had a reunion night out with some familiar traveller faces from Vietnam and new found Dutch friends. It was incredible that beer was 25c making it by far cheaper than water. The following day the Dut...

With Dalat's adventures now of the past we headed to Saigon on the overnight sleeping bus. The inside of the bus has 2 levels upper and lower sleeping level with chairs that recline to about 85%.It was a rather speedy ride as we left at 10 and arrived at 4:30am in Saigon. As both Meg and I were forced to wake up and as the Vietnamese fortunately are early risers, we were able to get an Iced coffee from a street vendor and sat down to view the map. After getting t...

Having decided that I'd spent enough time in Siem Riep and have seen Ankor Watt, I took a boat to Battambang (which turned out to be a local boat, although we paid for tourist one I'm sure). This was a rather interesting experience as we picked up locals along the way, however as they came from the floating villages they got "taxi'd" in by boat to ours, from many of the floating villages we passed. It also meant what started out as a comfortably spaced ride end...

With Kat and Dai finally realising that Dalat is most definitely more of a must see than Mui Ne, we were all on a bus to Dalat to arrive 6 hours later. Such a chilled place, with more of Vietnam's finest bakery and coffee with sweet milk...perhaps at this stage I should mention that I had given up coffee about 3 years ago not liking the taste...don't worry, I've made up for lost time! We did a group market shop, prep, cook and eat together under guidance of our ...

After a hair raising journey from Phom Phen (with a lot of praying that we would make it out alive) through the night through pot holes or shall I rather say craters, we arrived in Siem Riep at 5:30 unscathed. I met a really cool Chinese girl (Jess) on the tuk tuk ride to our accommodation who spontaniously became my Siem Riep travel buddy. Siem Riep is the closest town where one can stay in order to view Ankor Wat, which as a heritage sight does not allow ove...
