Saturday we arrived in Phnom Penh at 7:00 after a interesting night, we boarded our bus to find it was a 'sleeper' which had little cabins with beds in, we managed to sleep which was great but it was very very very cramped! We got off our bus and booked some tickets for 12:00 to head to Ho Chi Minh City, this gave us enough time to head to the Killing Fields. During 1975 to 1979 the Khmer Rouge arrested and eventually executed almost everyone suspected of connect...

Monday we were picked up from our hostel at 7:30 for our journey to Cambodia. Our bus stopped at a sort of station full of tourist and told us this is where we got our visa, it seemed very dodgy however this is where everyone was getting theirs so we jumped on the band wagon, and they worked so we can't complain. We were taken along to the border and told to pay £4 each to get a 'VIP' visa, they literally gave our money to the police and we were pushed to the fr...

Friday we woke up from our last night in luxury before having to check back into hostels! Laura was annoyed that she found it so easy to say goodbye yesterday as today she feels very sad, it's a lot quieter without mums and dads around! We left our hotel and headed for our hostel where we would spend the next couple of nights as tomorrow Kate and Max are meeting us for the weekend! We spent the afternoon planning Cambodia and Vietnam before heading to the cinema ...

Thursday we had breakfast then headed off to Koh Samet, a 2 and a half hour drive then a quick speed boat across to the island.

We tried to check in to find out the speedboat dropped us at the wrong hotel so we had to hull our suitcases onto a taxi and head off for the right destination, we were very relieved when we finally arrived! We chilled for a while and freshened ...

Monday we had breakfast then took a minivan to Kanchanburi which was about a 2 and a half hour drive. We arrived at our very luxurious hotel right on the River Kwai with a view of the bridge. We dumped our bags then took a stroll along to the bridge for a look, the bridge was constructed in WW2 and is part of the Death Railway, it felt like there was no way it could hold a train, however it still does. We relaxed for the rest of the day before heading out for din...
