We started off our 9 hour journey to Luang Prabang, well I was told it was 9. Apparently that's just according to the travel agent that sold me the ticket. Everyone else got told 11 hours, which in the end was right. We pulled into the bus station and there was local buses everywhere, my heart sunk, I thought I was going to be making Sooz get on a local bus as her first Asian travel experience. Luckily there was a coach hidden in between them. Although it wasn't ...

After a roundabout way, we got to Siem Reap. I was so pleased to get off the bus, as much as I enjoyed a pleasant spooning session with Kate, I was so squashed. Basically laying in the aisle of the sleeping bus. Alice even grabbed my leg at one point because she thought I was a random person trying to get in her chair opposite. Opps! Early morning tuk tuk ride to the guesthouse, I think it was around 6am-ish. I was very irritable, with a face of thunder, best ide...

I'm sure they're a few rocks in a pile of diamonds but so far this country is glisteni...

After a pretty pain free 10 hour taxi, bus, tuk tuk, bus and boat journey. We arrived on the remote island of Koh Rong, on the south coast of Cambodia. As I mentioned before, we thought it would be good to get some relaxation time in for the Alice and Laura while they're with us seen as this is their break from work. Especially after their first day in Cambodia was quite intense. Plus we planned to meet Christa and Nelen there too. We found the hostel we had bo...
