Well here we are in Cambodia - Siem Reap! A sweet early flight of less than 2hrs from KL and we were first thru Immigration, collected bags and off (we prepared visa photos etc. before we flew)! Our Tuk-Tuk man from the Mandaly Inn Hotel collected us right on time and whisked us through the outskirts of town and off to the hotel - the warm, fresh air was lovely.

Happy Father's Day to the Dads!Today we went to Bukit Nanas rainforest, which is a rainforest at the foot of the KL Menara tower in the centre of KL. 11 hectares of rainforest preserved for you to trek about for free.

However, when we got to the main bus terminal (and checked with every company) it was clear that the Melaka bus went from a...

Experiencing strange breakfasts at present, this morning it was fried rice and noodles. I am suffering from a bit of narcolepsy with the jet lag, I had to have 2 hours sleep after breakfast.
