We were up early today as we had to be at the travel agency at 7am to catch our bus. However, when we got there we were told we had been moved to the 8am bus which would get us there quicker (?), so we left our bags while we went for some breakfast and went back at 7:45 as told. After a lot of waiting around we were led to a road with a lot of buses and were eventually shown onto one of them after asking about 5 different people, none of whom seemed to know what ...

An early start today... we were collected from our hotel before 8am and led to a small coach - our transport for the day! We were heading for two of the main sights around Ho Chi Minh City - the Cao Dai Great Temple and the Cu Chi Tunnels. It turned out that we had a brilliant guide who was very funny and kept us all entertained on the long bus stints throughout the day! On our way out of the city, he told us all about the motorbikes in the city. Apparently in a...

After a good night's sleep and a lie-in, we headed down to reception and booked a tour for tomorrow to see a nearby temple and the tunnels built and used by the Vietnam army during the war.

We managed to book bus tickets though, and were lucky as lots were already full. We stopped at a ...

Then it was back onto the bus for the very short drive to the Vietnam border post. This tim...

Time to head back to Phnom Penh for the final time. After breakfast, the bus picked us up from the hotel for the 6 hour journey. We're so used to long bus journeys now that they don't bother us at all. I passed some time by watching Bridesmaids again on the laptop. Once back in Phnom Penh, we got a tuk-tuk back to Europe Guesthouse again and were warmly welcomed back and given the same room for the third time! That afternoon, I finished and sent off a job appli...
