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. He wanted to know if we needed a driver for the day, we'd decided to hire a moped so we told him no but he looked so disappointed that we both felt really guilty so in the end phoned him to come back (after months of travelling we're both still soft touches at times!) 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.

We must have looked lost as a little boy of about 8 came up to us and asked us where we were going and then proceeded to show us the way, us on our mo...

Our flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh was delayed so it was about midnight by the time we got there and we were up and out early as we were going to the Chu Chi tunnels. Whilst we were sat in the travel agency waiting for our bus a guy came in selling sun glasses so Casson decided to buy some (after breaking his last ones). As always the price started off really high so when he'd got him down to half price he thought he had a bargain so bought them for 200,000 do...
