Our last 2 days in Phonm Penh we primarily spent viewing all the major sights and planning how we'd get to Vietnam. Mr Meas,our driver,offered to take us to all the main sights:The killing fields,palaces,temples and markets...he did offer to take us to the shooting range (not the one where you can use rocket-launchers at Cows or AK-47 rifles at people some of you may of heard of.no joke). Despite a couple of bad nights and rooms in the same hotel,eventually mov...

We spent yesterday a tad hungover. We ventured out a couple of times to eat and nurse our hungovers but just as well because we needed a day of trekking around the temples of Angkor. I've always wanted to come here,so this is a dream come true for me and I wasn't disappointed. We left for breakfast about mid morning and lucky to have got an offer for our own Tuk tuk tour around the temple scattered areas of Angkor Wat,Ta Prohm,Bayon and Angkor Thom. A great...
