I've been spelling Phnom Phen wrong. It's supposed to be Phnom Penh, but I can't change it now! Sent a bag of washing to a little place over the road from our hotel this morning. They only charge $1 per KG for laundry. Mine weighed 1.2 kgs - so cheap!! (got it all back in one piece later in the day!). Our group decided to just organize today's activities by ourselves. We rented a tuk-tuk for the day, rather than having a tour guide - $15 to have one tuk-tuk for...

Had a sleep in until 9.30! Got packed up and then nipped out for some brunch bits for the bus journey to Phnom Penh. We have a long day ahead of us as will be traveling for 6 hours by bus to the capital city. First bus that picked us up was a complete shed. We all double checked that it wasn't what we were using to get to Phnom Penh! Fortunately it wasn't, but I still thought I'd be surprised if this thing gets us to the end of the road, never mind the 10 minute ...

Wake up call at 4.15am this morning...rolled out of bed and shoved some clothes on. Think I've had 3 nights in a row now with only 5 hours or less sleep - I need to take more advantage of sleeping on the buses like Therese! We all decided to let a local tour guide take us around some temples today. First stop, Angkor Wat for sunrise! We got there for about 5.15 - it was pitch black. We walked along the causeway, through the gates and then could see the outline ...

We met at 7am to make our way to Cambodia. We also met the other 3 people who hadn't arrived last night. Bit of a nightmare for the Irish couple though - delayed twice and then....there baggage hasn't arrived! Fortunately they put some spare clothes in their day bag. But they don't know when they will...

Alarm went off at 9.30am - knackered!! Today we had to change hotel though, because we join our Gap Adventures tour taking us to Cambodia and Vietnam. We had to do some packing and be out by 11am - not what you need after a heavy night out. Once we checked out, we had a few things to do on the computer and then went for some breakfast (left our bags there though!). We had to get the subway to our new hotel but it was a fairly long walk to the subway. Not what T...
