Blog : Phnom Penh again(!) After yet another horrific night bus, without sleeper seats or the toilet that we paid extra for and with the customary loud music playing all the way through the night, we all arrived rather grumpy and ruffled to Phnom Penh. We didn't have anywhere booked to stay so started looking through the lonely planet and found a couple of places we liked the sound of and we got a tuktuk driver to take us there after some fierce negotiating on t...

Blog : Siem Reap Annoyingly we had to catch a bus from Koh Kong, back past Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh (again!) before changing buses and travelling to Siem Reap as there are only a few main roads in Cambodia and the west coast is not accessibly linked between north and south. It was a long trip, setting off from Koh Kong at 1pm after our jungle trek antics and not arriving to Phnom Penh until about six hours later and then we had a two hour wait, which we decid...

Every time we stopped we were all dashing off to go! It was normal coach style bus with pair of seated seats rather than the luxury individual lie down ones we had in Vietnam (we had obviously forgotten the horrors and cockroaches on...

Blog : Phnom Penh We were very extravagant and splashed out an extra $2 on the cost of the bus ticket from HCMC to Cambodia, to travel on the VIP bus and oh my god was it worth it!! Literally about twenty minutes before we boarded the bus my stomach decided to go all Delhi belly on my and I had pretty s***ty s***s. After however many days of being completely bunged up down there, it was bloody typical that I would go completely the other way, just before a seven...
