Sihanoukville in 24 hours! After my two city stops I needed a bit of beach time but I was on a tight time schedule... I took an evening bus from Phnom Penh and arrived there late. I say arrived but the bus company, as always, dropped us off miles away from anywhere I needed to be. In the end I shared a tuk tuk to get to otres 2 beach. In sihanoukville there are a few beaches. Roughly is goes like this. Serendipity =party strip, otres 1= half party half chill ...

Phnom Penh and the killing fields My next stop was a poignant one. The history of Cambodia is at times a sad one and at recent times a very cruel and harsh one.

So hopefully for the last time I boarded the customary tuk tuk and gave away more KIP. After tuk tuk was a boat and.... Finally I was on don det, the apparently more party island out of them all. I quickly found a fairly decent bungalow on the sunset side. However I c...

Konglor cave and the mission to the 4000islands I would be lying if I said vang vieng didn't leave me feeling a little worse for wear but no fear as I was on the move again. Next stop on the Laos itinerary was the konglor cave in Central Laos. A lot of travellers tend to miss this section of the country out but i strongly recommend you don't! It's amazing!!! Rural, stunning scenery and of course crazy caves! That said it is a little bit tricker to get to. Fro...
