Tour of duty
This is a top pick! From our monsoon experience on Costa del Cambodia the weather has already drastically improved for us back in the capital. I think we all would have enjoyed Sihanoukville a whole lot more if it had not rained so heavily the entire time we were there. In ...

I've Found Heaven. It's called Sojourn.
The morning I first awoke in my little hut, I could scarcely believe my luck. I think I am in the most beautiful little resort in the world, in ine of the most beautiful countries in the world. Sojourn is a small boutique resort with about 10 ...
Some Cambodian History and another good walk
... some Shaun of the Dead, which is a kickass movie. Before that, I went to have a massage. I had a Thai massage (in Cambodia, yeah, I know), and it was great, albeit a bit painful at times. I'll go online for a bit now and then try ...

5:00pm So I've arrived with a French couple that I shared the bus with, to the "Okay Hotel". 4 bucks a night, and it's close to the river and a few of the sights like the museum, royal palace and what not. 6:20pm We (the French couple and I) went ...
Nasty Stuff
We should have known on arrival at Pnomh Pehn that we were in for a frustrating couple of days. We got of the river boat which we had taken from Siem Reap and were immediately pressed by a seemingly endless stream of tuk tuk and moto ...
Phnom Phen and the Killing Fields
... took 6 hours. Once again we did not have a place pre-arranged. We did do some research on line and Mark had a guide book for Cambodia but there were just too many hotels to choose from. We liked the look of one of the hotels we saw on line and decided to ...

Baby bears, belly aches and blown up computers

Phnom Penn
Next stop the capital. Phom Penn is alot larger that Siem Reap, is a cool place but with a dark history due to the Khmer Rouge era. As much as we enjoyed our time we thought that we must see some of ther museums around here. We saw the Tol Sleung ...
Yes I am sure that's all the pooh

Phew - what a day!
Time for some real graft – we were each assigned to a keeper for the morning, helping them as they worked their way through their morning routine in their 'House'. Houses 1 – 6, each with a different mix of bears, some more ...
The Killing Fields
We went to the Killing Fields and it was really strange. There was just a gate with the title Choeung Ek Genocide Centre. The fields were in fact the overflow from the mass graves at Toul Sleng and most of them were pits dug in the ground about 12" by ...
