Hi, from a glorious sunny morning in Siem Reap. I am awaiting my breakfast whilst beginning to write this blog and am overlooking the newly installed swimming pool. I'm sure that at some point today I will be lying beside it and cooling down in its water. It seems very strange to be writing the 2 October when I'm not too sure where the 30 Sept and 1 Oct went to.
