... There wasn&#8217;t much to this "farm" but we got to see a massive pit full of crocs (we reckon about 100 of them). It was also fun because there was an adorable cat which followed us round, rubbing round us the whole way (or trying to trip us up so we fell into the croc pit&#8230; one of the two). <br><br>4.

... lighting incense. Politely paid my respects and then quickly tiptoed back out to carry on my walk to the temple. <br><br>The Cambodian sun is fierce and I am developing a tan to rival any farmer. Needless to say the walk up to the temple was a sweaty one but worth it as it was beautiful as the sun shone on the coloured tiles and gold statues. Not wanting to sound old but hey, I'm putting this out there, the view was superb. I hope the pictures do it justice, I tried ...

... Most of the time we spent sunning ourselves on the balcony (me) and on the internet (Paul).<br><br>On the 10th July we decided it could possibly be our 2 year anniversary, we can't remember the exact date we got together, but we watched a beautiful sunset at the Riverside Balcony Bar and decided the 10th sounds like a good date for an anniversary. <br><br>One day we hired some bikes from the Bus Stop and took a cycle ride through the villages to the north of town. Paul's ...

We've been trying to meet up ever since but this is the first time we would be in the same country at the same time. We bumped into each other in a restaurant, drinking beer (Not that this is in anyway representative, it was just a coincidence. Honest!) and arranged to meet up the following morning to explore outside the town. The following ...

... I went straight to the post office to mail to Mum. But as it was $7.50 she will have to wait until I'm in Vietnam. Then I went to the museum which was a bit disappointing, one room of statues but it was only $1. The last activity for the day is a circus show (Phare Pinleu Selpek). The show ...

Then, it started to rain heavily and the young lad, who was helping out the driver, passed all the rucksacks down from the roof ... a few minutes later we saw a small head bobbing in the water behind us! He must have slipped and fallen in ... .. we pulled in and the driver went back to return with the lad ...

... It was quite a reality check. Our driver then started talking to us about his way of life and his family. His dad is a dog handler with the military clearing millions of mines across Cambodia.
