We arrived in Kratie and for the first time ever we weren't swarmed by tuk tuk or moto drivers. In fact it looked like there weren't any about, we walked a little way along the river and we spotted a couple so imagine our surprise when Casson spotted that one of the had my name on a laminated sheet. The hotel we were staying at had sent one to meet our bus! Kratie was lovely and our hotel had a pool so even though there wasn't much to do there we decided to stay...

As soon as we arrived in Siem Reap we knew we would like it, the centre was really beautiful on the river and it just had a really nice feel to it. We arranged to go to Angkor Wat the following day by tuk tuk, this involved a full day as there are many temples within the archeological park. The scale of it is immense and the temples completely blow you away, we won't bore you with the details of all of them (our pictures can do that) but it's definitely a must s...

Our next stop in Cambodia was Battambang, on our first morning there the tuk tuk driver who took us to the hotel from the bus station the night before turned up whilst we were having breakfast.

It ...

We weren't expecting to like to like Pnomh Penh with it being the capital (we don't really like the cities) but at first we did, the owner of our guesthouse gave us the warmest welcome we'd had all trip, the name of the guesthouse should have given it away "the laughing Fatman" and we were staying in a busy area surrounded by restaurants and bars, we even managed to get an Indian on our first night. It was only over the next few days that we realised it wasn't ...

When we crossed into Cambodia we were expecting a scam at the border. I'd read about the officials charging you extra for your visa so when we got there it came as no surprise that they said it was $35 and not the $30 like we knew it should be. I told him I knew it was $30 and he appeared to add up the cost for 2 visas again and look confused and then said it was $32 like his maths was wrong the first time. I tried again to pay the right amount but he wasn't budg...
