The river boat to Siem Reap was brilliant. We propped ourselves on the roof of the boat and relaxed whilst taking in the local fisherman, farmers and floating village after floating village. A floating village being a whole township floating on water. The reason being, as explained by a local, is that the price of land is too high so living on the water has become an option for many. We also discovered that the Scrubba wash bag makes a great pillow for napping o...

Heads were possibly a little hazy in the morn perhaps due to the one, or possibly eight or so local brews the night before. But this was quickly shaken off because it would be a day of serious contemplation. First up, the Genocide Museum and then the killing fields. Not exactly a day at Disneyland but a lesson in history which should never be forgotten. The Genocide Museum was a highschool which had been converted into a prison during the Pol Pot regime.

Adam's Day: Ash had to meet a manufacturer in Bangkok so it was off solo to the Cu Chi Tunnels; a complex underground system of tunnels created by the Viet Cong to hide and implement strategic attacks against the enemy during the war. To be honest, there was a bit of a war going on inside my head just entering the tunnels. Definitely not for the claustrophobic! As I entered the tunnel, I had to shuffle to the side to make room to a couple of tourist who'd chose...
