Yesterday we arrived in Battambang in the early afternoon and found a nice hotel. We then took a wonder around the city which wasn't to thrilling to be honest. Although it's the second biggest city in Cambodia it's tiny and you can really do everything there is to do in a day. So today we headed off to do everything there is to do. We started off with the "bamboo train" which is basically a bamboo structure with a engine on that rockets along a disused railway f...

On Friday afternoon we set off from Phnom Penh for Siem Reap. The mini bus took 6 hours to get here and of the 6 hours 5 were not on paved roads making for a very bumpy journey. At one point we hit a pot hole so big that I was launched into the air. If I hadn't been wearing a seat ball I think the force would have sent me through the roof!

Unfortunately though Sarah isn't al...

Sunday morning we jumped on a bus and headed 2 hours down the coast to Sihanoukville. We are staying on Otres beach, a lovely spot just outside town. Last night we stayed in a hut right on the beach but as they were full tonight we moved across the road to some bamboo huts that they have re...
