The six hour bus journey to Phonm penh was much better than our previous long journey. As the bus journey was during the day we could read our books & observe the towns en route.Saw some funny sights,I saw a man driving a moped,holding a table,6x4ft,he'd just bought, in front of him,completely blocking view of all on-coming traffic and possibly the sun. 4hrs later we arrived in Phonm Penh,Cambodia's (Kampuchea to the Khmer's...Cambodge to the French) and i...

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...

Cambodia is so cool and my favourite place so far! People are charming & welcoming,which to me,I'm amazed by considering what the people have been through recent times. The town of Siem Reap,which means Siem (Thailand) Defeated. Contraverisal. Is really nice,you can see the French influnces here.
