Standing on the platform watching the train roll up, already it didn't look quite as good. Nevertheless, I'm sure it would be fine. Our guide AJ had warned us that this train wouldn't be quite as good quality as the last, but as that one was uexpectedly good, we weren't to be easily put off. We expected used sheets at the most, but we weren't quite prepared for what was to come.Climbing aboard Iwas pleased to see there was still a Western style toilet, however th...

Well we were all quite excited to be jumping on board the sleeper train, and somewhat apprehensive.Having been told our accommodation would be of a 'basic' standard throughout the trip, I think we have been quite spoilt so far, - always air con, clean room and double beds. Not too shabby. However, with regard to the sleeper train, I wasn't so sure what to expect - vividly remembering my train ride in Sri Lanka. As fun as the train journey was, there would be no w...

Beach time! We were all pretty hyped up to go to the beach for a few days and chill out without having things to do, things to see and buses to get on. After yet another bus journey - only three hours this time, so quite speedy for us! On arrival we discovered we were staying at some beach bungalows, just a hundred yards from Ochheuteal Beach - which I must admit was a bit of a disappointment. Although I suppose, it would be hard to beat the beaches of the Maldiv...

Cambodia has had a truly awful past, which before I arrived I knew very little about, for which I know feel slightly ignorant. However, since arriving, I have researched and read up on the history of the country, which is devastating and heart wrenching. The worst part is that it happened between the years of 1975 - 1979, just before our lifetime, which makes it al th more worse. When we arrived in the capital of Phnom Penh, after yet another painstakingly long...
