Friday I hadn't had another great sleep as I'd been up in the night with a bad stomach (this tends to happen I've noticed when I over-eat!) and I was trying to sleep in the room without the fan on to help my throat which meant I was tossing and turning with the heat. Including being slightly nervous as I'd heard a cat meowing next to Lauren's tipi the night before and after scaring the life out of her shouting 'Lauren it's there!' we weren't really sure where th...

Wednesday and Thursday Checking out of Pappa Pippos we checked into a nice dorm with some cute tipis opposite it at a place called, 'Mushroom Point'. The weather was a bit cloudy and after two of the ATM's on the island were broken (something that seems to have not been fixed for a long time) we had to get a tuk tuk back to the main island to get cash out and return again.

Thursday we checked out of Eighty8 and got a tuk tuk to the bus station where our bus was to set off at 8am and was supposed to be a 3-4 hour trip. Within 5 minutes of being on there they had a TV on the front of the bus which was blasting romantic ballads of Cambodian music, which if you want you could sing ...
