We firmly have our spot on the beach, comfy sun loungers near the waters edge and fresh shakes on tap for a cheap price. I am sorry I know how cold and miserable it is getting at home and I'm not sure I could read this being on the other side! I do feel your pain as I would not be a happy bunny. This morning we'd both barely laid out our towels and settled in before we got mobbed by beach vendors - women who walk up and down all day selling a range of things fro...

Yesterday, we gave up with the chocolate shop, deciding it was for the best anyway and stuck with our friends at the cupcake cafe. It was a bit of a shameful day as someone recommended we give this Mexican a go as it was the best western food he's had here, we ended up getting it delivered and the hotel staff even brought it up to the room for us! It was the best fajitas I've ever had! So tasty, with homemade flour tortilla- yum!! After lounging about for a littl...

We walked miles today! Started off with a stroll to find a recommended chocolate shop.. Oh dear...

We ventured into a few department stores which was torturous as there was lots of nice clothes, not justifiable wi...

Today was Cambodias 60th anniversary of independence, we were woken up by big celebratory sounds of floats going past the independence monument. We headed out later on in the day into the crowds of people, there was a really good vibe amongst everyone out and about but the mass congestion of Tuk Tuks, bikes and cars was crazy! Didn't think it could get worse! The whole of the Palace was lit up which was really pretty, we took a few snaps then headed to a rooftop...

*warning- graphic content* After some rain yesterday we got to go and see the killing fields and genocide museum today, it was a hard day and emotionally draining! I'm glad we did it though, it's a big part of their history and important to know about. It was very shocking and even more shocking that it all happened about 40years ago (1975-1979). I couldn't get my head around that, imagining all these horrific events taking place where we stood as little as 40 ...
