Hello everyone, Sorry, so much to do, so little time! I will get there eventually. So we left Siem Reap on 31st August. We took a taxi to the border which was still pretty cheap, we'd had enough of buses by then! We arrived in Poipet at the same time as a few bus loads of backpackers so we had to queue for a while to get through immigration checks but really it was all very simple again. As we walked through the border we noticed the abundance of casinos which ...

Hello everyone, On Saturday 27th August we left Sihanoukville on the Mekong Express and went on the long long journey to Siem Reap. The drive back up to Phnom Penh was slightly hair raising but the second leg was much better and we got some great views all the way. During our time in Siem Reap we stayed at a guesthouse called 'Haks House' which I would recommend to anyone. It was really nice and cheap and Hak was so so helpful. The next day we got picked up by...

Hello everyone, We left Phnom Penh on 23rd August and headed down to the south coast of Cambodia. We used the Mekong Express again so had to endure some more karaoke but it was a nice journey. We stayed at Otres beach which is near to the more touristy town of Sihanoukville. The tuk tuk took us down a really long and very bumpy dirt track to get there which was fun! Otres beach consists of just one small strip of bar/restaurants and a few beach hut places along ...

Hello everyone, Soooo, we left Ho Chi Minh on the morning of the 20th of August for Cambodia. It was another long journey taking around 6 hours. We went on the Mekong Express bus which was actually really good, although we did have to put up with lots of Cambodian karaoke on DVD! The border crossing was fairly quick and hassle-free which was nice. When we arrived in Phnom Penh we found a hotel and had a wander down to the riverside area. We soon discovered that ...

Hello everyone, On Wednesday 17th August we left Nha Trang on the sleeper train to Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately the train was a bit skankier than the other ones we had been on, especially since Ryan found a sick covered sheet on the shelf by his bunk, slightly gross. It was also bit annoying that the train got in at at 5am. Anyway, we got to our guesthouse eventually which was down a nice quiet alleyway in the backpacker area. After a little bit of rest we ...
