Cambodia Well have finally arrived in Siem Reap after a tough day of travel, starting at 7.30 this morning. Borders by foot are always a nightmare Time consuming, hot and wish you didn't have as much luggage on your back,as it takes roughly 2 hours. Walking through no mans land, plenty of Casinos if you want to stop for a gamble. Haha We got across the border were we where to catch a bus which would take 4 hours But would have to wait an hour for it ! Bu...

7.00am start on bus to Phnom Penh, am I glad that's the last one for a while. It's taken 7 hours of no comfort I would say , plus no air condition. Very bumpy roads and a view from the front seat I could have done without, and a driver that lives on his hooter. Not the best bus company.

It was good to have a friend to meet up for dinner with, I am her mums age as I seem to be for most travellers or grandmother. But it works with most people which i...

Up at 4.00am for reasons you will see later. Picked up by 5.00am by the Tuktuk driver as promised, last night a porter delivered us a breakfast to take with us, Mmmmmm toasty sandwich which would have been better eaten when delivered. Amazingly you always think your the only ones up but a whole barrage of Tuktuk drivers ate heading for Angkor Wat. It's still pitch black when we arrive but as normal these places are set up with all you need, I had one of the be...
