Well Sadly I left Cambodia on the 10th January. But have been very lucky with my flights, although sometimes stressful when your one on your own you have more chance. Arrived in Melbourne at 7.30am on the 11th after a few time changes. Sitting at the moment waiting for the Melbourne to Hobart flight which was a doodle she took my bag and said go straight through. Normally you have to run as they tell you when gates close whether you are on or not. Price you p...

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.

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...
