6am start, Eugh! Bus to 4000 islands, don det today. 8 hours on a bus is not a cool way to spend the day but a good chance to catch up on the blog! We did the border run ourselves due to a Cambodian man trying to charge us a few dollars for him to do it, such hard work walking through in the sticky heat whilst wearing our rucksacks! Finally arrived and it's so green here. Kinda reminds us of the Lake District only a lot hotter! It's so green here and all the ...

Up at 5am to go watch the sunrise an Angkor wat. Angkor wat is a great congregation of architectural temples which have put Cambodia on the map for housing the biggest temples, it is said to be on par with the Great Wall of china. Tomb raider was also filmed here. We were also lucky enough to see elephants and wild monkeys. We couldn't resist chucking the monkey some bread which he quickly wolfed down. Bumped into Chris who we had met in hanoi backpackers, du...

Basically in short terms, pol pot wanted everybody to be equal so he took the uneducated and hardworking farmers and brainwashed them to believe that he could give them a better life if they joi...

Woke up to heavy rain pouring down on our hut, for a minute we thought we were back in England until we realised we had left some of our clothes hanging outside. Brilliant soaking wet beach towels. Went back to sleep and when we woke up we were amazed to see clear blue skies, if it weren't for our wet clothes we definitely would not have believed it had chucked it down only a few hours ago. Morning spent on the beach before embarking on a jungle trek to find ...
