Day 31: 9/7/13 We were up early to have breakfast in the hotel at around 6:30. We had to be ready to leave then at 7:30. We were going on a public bus back to Pnomh Penh. It collected us at the hotel though, then had another stop in the town and another one at the bus station. It was 8:30 before we left Sihanoukville properly. We had seats 1-17 in the front of the bus again, but this time the bus wasn't full so we could spread out a bit. I expected public buses t...

Day 30: 8/7/13 Today was a free day which was needed! For once, breakfast was included so we got up for it at nine and lots of others seemed to be there too. Breakfast was a strange concoction of toast, pineapple, rice and noodles. They had some strange things that we tried like rice cakes and rice porridge. The rice cakes were balls of mush really and tasted oniony. There was a spicy sauce to put over them and that made them taste better. The rice porridge was s...

Day 29: 7/7/2013 We didn't need to set any alarm this morning as there were roosters, dogs, people and machinery all in action by 5am! We didn't have to be up until half six. We could see the woman of the house with the baby when we had to walk outside to the bathroom. Otherwise we didn't really mix with the family at all. I thought we would be with the family all the time, rather than being at a community centre all the time. But it was still good. We went to th...

Day 28: 5/7/13 We had some free time this morning so we didn't have to be up at all hours! We were up by 9 anyway and we went to the Palace. When we were jjst leaving the hotel one of the women was coming out of a tuc-tuc from the palace. She reccommended getting a tuc-tuc as it was confusing to get there, so we did that. I think the driver drove around in a bit of a circle but we had agreed on a dollar before we left anyway, so that's all he got! Annmarie had to...

Day 27: 5/7/13 The air conditioning wasn't great last night either so we were well sweaty by this morning! Channa had told us that the sun rose at 5. Our hotel was by a river and we had a balcony looking out over it so I set the alarm for 5 so I could see it, but it was still dark at 5 and there was a really bright street light shining towards the window so the sunset wouldn't have been great anyway! I lay down again and checked out the window around twenty past...
