Friday morning, 4am Railay Beach Krabi Province Thailand Knock Knock Knock!! "Who the hell is that, it's 4am", I said. Amy knew right away, "it's probably Julie". Our friend Julie was in Thailand on business. She flew down South to see us for a few days and relax on the beach. I go to the door, "who is it". "Paul it's Julie, help". I slowly open...

Phnom Phen was another nice suprise. Rob and I dont normally like cities but we really liked the wide streets alongside the river. Of an evening as the sun went down families and friends place bamboo mats along the road and on the grass and spend the night socialising with their picnic food.

27-11-2007: vandaag aangekomen in Phnom Penh na een vlucht van zo'n 1,5 uur vanuit Bangkok, Thailand met Airasia. Omstreeks 16:30 op PP airport aangekomen en daar een taxi genomen naar het centrum. Onderweg is het al een drukte van belang en een grote chaos van allerlei verkeer. Wat vooral opvalt is dat er veel motor-en gewone fietsen rijden het...

The bus crossing from Vietnam to Cambodia was surprisingly easy and just a couple of hours after leaving Ho Chi Minh City we were on Cambodian roads and on our way to the capital, Phnom Penh. The Cambodian countryside we passed through on the way was a mix of dusty lanes and lush green fields often filled with water due to the rainy season and t...

Phnom Penh has the sort of reputation that makes you wonder why we're going. Some of the quotes from the guidebooks suggest all is not well: " the prevalence of firearms is a worry''; ''lawlessness is an issue''; ''don't take anything out with you that you aren't willing to lose (not sure what these items may be); and ''don't walk anywhere in th...

Un etrange atmosphere regne a Phnom Penh. En fait, je ne m'attendais pas a voir auant d'occidentaux! Je ne les avais pas encore vu tous ces touristes qui etaient venus de Thailande en passant presque uniquement pour la plupart, par Siem Reap; ou tout simplement ceux qui venaient d'arriver dans le pays par avion! En fait, il n'y a pas grand monde...

Today we left Siem Reap for Phnom Penh. We got a bus at 7:30 that would take us right there. It was a terrible bus ride though! The bus was really hot, the seats were tiny and didn't recline. We were one of very few tourists. It was mainly locals. Either way, we finally arrived at the bus station in Phnom Penh and someone from our hostel was wai...

Off the map We knew we would be gone for a while. We just didn't know how long for. We were heading far from the tourist trail, into north eastern Laos, over roads in such bad condition that no one knew how long each leg of the journey would take. A local had told us of an afternoon bus heading for Xam Nua. The many tour operators of tourist-clo...
