so decided to head over to sumatra to see the orang utangs but apparently booking these things more than a few hours in advance is a good idea therefore the boat was of course full, but now to worry, we learned from that and booked the boat for the 15th so we'll have our time in indonesia yet! in the meantime we decided to use the time we had to visit luala lumpur and one of the islands. never made it to the island and we're still in K.L. our 4th night now. Its a...

Apologies for the sombre tone of the last entry but i just really felt we were wastin what little time we had left in that place. Wasnt all bad in the end tho, we got two days of reaaly good weather which we got to spend on the practically deserted beach.

The rest of our stay in kho chang basically consistede of a couple of late nights in the bars that dont seem to close until everyone goes home and of course got a nice bit of s...

so cambodia was great, we only spent a week there but kinda wish we'd stayed longer. we went to the capital pnom penh for a night but ended up stayin for 5 nights cos twas so much fun. the people there were much nicer than in vietnam, took a couple of days to get to grips with the fact that everyone in cambodia is in fact not trying to rip you off, which was nice. we went to see the famous killing fields when we were there, they found the bodies of 8985 murdered ...
