Thursday 18 June We pack up and walk to the bus station after breakfast. We want to get to the next town so we can return to visit some ruins. Apparently one of the wonders of the world. We have to rush to catch a bus/van because it's leaving sooner than we were planning! The bus stops at the ruins so we decide to get off and see them now rather than continue on and return. It's pretty busy but we buy tickets and put our bags into storage. There are sellers a...

Wednesday 17 june The heat here is amazing! I got up in the night for a cool shower and to wet my towel to use as a wet blanket. With the crazy fan only working on full it's dry within a few hours.

We leave our bags in storage and set about to find the vans that go to the ruins. There is a man on the corner who asks us if we need help. He directs us to the vans. It's a short simple trip to the national park where the ruins are. We pay for a guide who takes us around for 1.5 hours in the jung...

Sunday 14 June There's lots to organise when we awake. Accommodation for tonight, packing up our stuff, having breakfast (omelet or pancakes today), checking out and joining our tour. Not long after joining the tour we are told we are going to have to go on another bus. On our way out of town we stop on the side of the road and get on a larger bus.
