To break up the journey we had a short stay in a little town called Kampot. There isn't really much going on in the town other than it's stretch of bars and cafes along the riverfront; its best known for the river, the mountain, the home brewed cider & growing pepper. As soon as we arrived we hopped on a bike and headed for the mountain. It was around an hour and a half ride to the top up a decent new road built by the Chinese. It was a pretty cloudy day and ...

We booked the speed ferry to Koh Rong. Took 45 minutes instead of 2 and a half hours. The place is unbelievable. Pure white beaches that made a squeaking noise when you walked, clear seas and lots of beach bars. You can only stay on one part of the island which is the only developed part. We stayed in Monkey island beach bungalows. They were very nice with a big bed and a mosquito net. We had to flush the toilet ourselves and was only allowed a minute shower. T...

We spent a solid 13 hours travelling down to Sihanoukville, the bus driver stopped at a petrol station and said finished. We were in the middle of nowhere with tuk tuk drivers running at us.

Three English people we were talking to ran and jumped back on the moving bus but we were too far away t...

It took 4 hours by bus again. There wasn't really much to do by day or night around the city centre which sounds mad. But we went on 2 little trips, one was to the bamboo train & the other to the killing cave & bat cave. The bamboo train was awesome! It took us across abou...

The bus journey to Siem reap was comical. We were promised a luxury bus. A limousine coach I think they called it. One of the worst buses I've ever seen! The road was tarmac for about an hour of the 6 hour trip and then it turned to mud and dirt! There was a lot of road works taking place were one lane was open. Where in England we would have traffic lights it was just a free for all. Busses passing busses. Lorries passing lorries all on a single mud track. The a...
