Day 4 Another early morning because it was bus time again to Phnom Penh. We found out early on though that this may not be the case, Gizl had been up most of the night emptying here digestive tract from both ends and consequently wasn't feeling like spending 6 hours on a bumpy bus. Tried to organise her on the much nicer bus which left later but it was full, so she was pumped full of Immodium (diaharrea reliever) and we hoped for the best. That was when it w...

Day 2. Had to rise early as we were on the boat to Siem Reap at 7 am.

But being in the future has not hindered our time here and it has been a fantastic tr...

Week 3: Chiang mai cont.. Welcome back to the city whose restaurants have names only containing adjectives, like "so good", "nice kitchen", or "best taste kitchen". Well at least you know what you are getting (so they say anyway). It has been another great week with the highlights being the trek through the jungle and cooking school.
