Now today could be a bad day. You know why I think this? Well I will tell you.. Okay so I go downstairs to get some breakfast in plenty of time before I am due to get picked up. I order pancakes WITH bananas only for them to come without. Never a good start! Then my tuk tuk driver turns up 20 minutes early telling me to hurry up as the traffic to the airport is bad. This is fine if only my flight wasn't still 3 hours away.. Let me enjoy the pancakes I didn't wa...

What. A. Day! Don't get me wrong I knew today was going to be heavy but I didn't expect it to get to me as much as it did. There were only two reasons I wanted to come to Cambodia and that was to see Angkor Wat and the visit the killing fields and I am glad I have done both of those but never again.

The only way I can describe these floods would be if you think of the w...

WOW. Watching the sunrise over the Angkor Wat Temple was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen! There was such a buzz in the air from everyone waiting in anticipation for it! It was around 5:30 when it started to rise and so for about half an hour I sat on some other important building waiting and watching.. After that, I took myself around the temple because I wasn't paying a man to take me around, just to point out carvings on a wall. I could see the...

I have arrived. Momentarily I want to leave again. It does get better from here in reflection.. So I landed, bribed the visa and immigration people with dollars to overlook the no photograph situation and was in! Hello Kingdom of Cambodia! I got myself a motorbike ride to the hostel, not before completely embarrassing myself and falling over! I had just flip flops on when this happened and carrying a 17kg bag didn't help the situation. So now, Laura is in a lot...
