Having crossed London in a couple of hours we registered our bags and surprise, surprise we had lots of time in Heathrow Duty Free. Ruth of course had her bag searched yet again at security. Must be her shifty looks! The flight was on time and though a bit cramped we had good food and plenty of films to watch. The Russians behind us led the clapping as the Captain got us back to earth and the landing formalities including baggage retrieval were the smoothest I ha...

Just trying to remember how to use this program! No luck so far. However, we are off on jollies again and once more invite you all to follow our fun and games as we don our rucksacks and venture into the unknown - well, Sri Lanka actually. We leave for Linda's in London on Thursday courtesy of Mick who is dropping us at the station and after an evening of being wined, dined and entertained (yes, there are a lot of hints here) we will fly out of Heathrow on Friday...

After two busy days travelling we have arrived at our destination for the next twelve nights. We have taken great pleasure in unpacking having lived out of our rucksacks for the last 30 days. We have seen some marvellous sights and had great experiences and now just want to veg out. Our last meal with the group two nights ago was quite moving, especially saying goodbye to Nuddy our guide for the past month. She has worked so hard to get us all from a to b, throug...

Temperature 44c and rising! Ruth got dehydrated yesterday. I looked after her so she is doing the blog today. WELL WE BOTH MADE IT UP FOR. 05:00DEPARTURE, WE STAGGERED THERE IN THE DARK, WHAT A DAY TO FORGET OUR TORCHES. WE WATCHED THE SUN RISE OVER ANGKOR WAT, I'VE HAD MORE THRILLING MOMENTS BUT WE CAN SAY WE DID IT, I EXPECT WE'D HAVE BEEN CROSS IF WE HADN'T. HOWEVER ANGKOR WAT ITSELF WAS STUNNING AND REMARKABLE BOTH FROM IT'S SIZE, DETAIL AND PRESERVATION. APP...

A wonderful visit to Angkor National Park. Several Wat's visited and we visit Angkor Wat itself tomorrow at 5am for the sunrise. Ruth was in buying mode again last night with two more Addidas Knock offs. How the hell we get all this home I don't know. I will let the pictures do the talking..... It's very very hot. 38+ we are running out of steam and glad we booked some R&R on the beach. The blog may dry up at this point but will let you know.....
