Got our bus at 9:30am on Wednesday morning and arrived here around 5ish. After arriving at our great hostel 'Downtown Siem Reap Hostel' we discovered that they didn't have any electricity in Siem Reap all that day. This meant no wifi, no water and no air con so of course sure what could we do when it was getting dark but sit at the poolside bar in candle light and get to know the people that we were staying with. The atmosphere here is very chilled and you can ...

Arrived into Phnom Penh and made our way to Eighty8 Hostel. Pretty good hostel! Clean, friendly staff and a pool. What more can we ask for! Dropped bags in the room and went on our usual exploring and made our way towards the riverfront. Today the king has been cremated and when we were sitting in a restaurant we then saw pretty amazing fireworks which we can only guess was in celebration of the kings life. He had actually been dead for three months which is the ...

It's bye bye to Vietnam as we get our bus from Vietnam to Canbodia. We decided to go across land with a company that we heard were good and of course it's cheaper to do it this way.

Firstly we went to a stunning temple in Tay Ninh which is home to the Cao Dai sect. The religion is a mix of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity. It was a fabulous scene to see and if I'm honest a little eery. The movements of the people seem so regimented but then again so do we whe...

We thankfully didn't have the worst overnight bus and we slept surprisingly well and didn't even hear other people getting on. Arrived in the city about 7:30am in first view it looks very similar to Hanoi where there is a mass of bikes driving all over the place. Found our hostel and then planned to check in but had to wait until 2pm so like every other city we dumped the bags and decided to go exploring. You would have thought we should be good at reading maps...
