Siem Reip and Ankor Wat Made it downstairs for breakfast, which was pretty yuk, then went back to bed since we were both knackered from the manic journey. Finally got up to go in search for the main part of town. We passed a nice jewellery shop and got chatting to the English guy that owned it. He informed us that we should only take a tuk tuk to Ankor if they charge less that $12 for the day and we told him that our bus driver told us that we couldn't use U...

Collected early from the hotel by mini van and stopped off at various hotels to pick up other travelers. We missed the boat by 2 mins so had to wait around for the next one. Remained in the van to cross on the car ferry and set off for the Cambodian Border.

What a sight- numerous backpackers frolicking in the waves throwing a ball about as the su...

Set off along the road to the internet café to type up my blog as I was very behind in my entries. Spent most of the day getting up to date, while Darren did his own jazz online. It was a really snazzy internet café. Koh Chang is not built up at all, so it was pretty much a caravan, with chik, boutique design. It had a huge plasma screen for watching films and a coffee maker for great lattés. So it was quite comfortable sitting on the vintage chairs, ...
