What a pathetic excuse for windows these are in this hotel!? May as well be sleeping in the street because we can hear everything, all the traffic and papping from 5.30am in the morning! That guy from the telly should come here, "a say ya buy one, ya get one free" - Safestyle UK I think it is, he'd make a killing. Anyway, we got up at around 6.30am - was due to get up at 7am anyway for today's tour. We met at 7.50am to go on our tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels. Was ...

Long journey today! 3 and a half hours to the ferry, then got to stretch our legs for 45 minutes. Was chaotic getting on the ferry. We had to get out of the mini-bus, and then wait around for a little bit. But when we were going down the pedestrian gang-plank to get to the ferry, there were scooters driving on there with us, they don't go down the vehicle part!? We had a quick toilet stop shortly after the ferry. All the toilets were squats - Therese couldn't us...

So, another 4-5 hour drive today. That's just to the Cambodian-Vietnam border. Then another hour to our stop off, Chau Doc. At least it's a private mini-bus Our tour leader warned us that we'd be on a very bumpy road for an hour, which is a short cut. "Short cut"!? How can it be when we were going about 20mph for an hour down a dirt track that is for locals with their ox carts? Surprised the locals didn't attack the mini-bus for using and wrecking their road. A...

We were going to go on a boat trip today, to do some snorkeling and go to a nearby island for BBQ lunch, but Therese has had a few stomach problems the past day or two so we decided to give it a miss. It wasn't sunny anyway so didn't feel like we'd miss out on much. Plus we'll be going to a load of islands and doing snorkelling on our travels anyhow. We'd got up early to meet our group anyway so had breakfast with them, then went back to our bungalow to relax a ...

Early start again today. Up at 6.30, got ready, had breakfast and met at 7.15 for our transfer bus to get our coach to Sihanoukville (we are using Paramount Angkor Express bus company). It's about 4-5 hours to get there. Quite long but actually is the same as getting the National Express from Leeds to London. You really need an iPod for this journey - bus driver constantly papping his horn which really gets on your nerves (only an hour into the journey as well!...
