The boat to Siam Reap was cool. Within 30 min did we feel the first stages to a sour **** and within an hour did the unbearable **** ache make us curse ourselves for not taking the bus. After have tried all different ways you can sit on a bench did we haul out so we could sit and stand outside the boat and wave to passer-bys. It was the perfect ...

We're in Siem Reap right now and we LOVE it here...although we leave for Bangkok again tomorrow (which will be a 12 hour bus ride...please save me). Anywho, Siem Reap is the city where you stay when you go to see Angkor Wat which is considered one of the new man made wonders of the world or somehing. Its tons and tons and miles of ancient temple...

Wednesday, we woke up early because we couldn't sleep anymore because we were so excited to finally see Angkor Wat. We ordered a car for the day and were at the temple at 9:00 am. Our expectations for this magnificent temple complex were very high and arriviing there not only met them but very much surpassed them. For once, the word "awesome" wo...

Just back in Asia after a short trip around central Europe. Now in Siem Reap, I hung out with Monica Castro for a few days until she left on Sunday night. It's scorching here but kinda dusty and smoggy. But at a dollar a beer... Was a long trip over, flew Krakow-Frankfurt/Hahn-Frankfurt-Bahrain -Muscat-Bangkok then fourteen hours by road to Siem...

We're staying at a beautiful french hotel thanks to Maria's dad--which is just amazing. I'm loving having my French breakfast of fresh fruit, rich yogurt, black coffe and a baguette with butter every morning. I love baguettes. There certainly are far more French people here than there were in Thailand--which is fun for me because I get to practi...

The flight from Vientiane was fine, although rather more like getting a bus as we stopped in Pakse to pick up passengers on the tiny airstrip. The pilot came out of the cockpit and happily told us all we would be setting off for Siem Reap after a 20 minute break so we were allowed off the plane to wander the tarmac and get up close and personal ...

This is going to be quite a wee one because I was only in Cambodia for a shocking 6 days! Not surprisingly, it flew by! I flew into Phnom Penh's teeny airport on the afternoon of the 13th of October...it was a Friday too...but all was fine. No need to panic! I didn't do much for the rest of the day as I was knackered and knew that I'd be up earl...

Oh my god it's sunny at last!!! I gave blood at the hospital earlier which was better than I expected apart from the fruit punch flavour fanta they gave me afterwards to recover - it was green and rank! [Since writing this my dad emailed me to recommend not giving blood given that hepatitus is pretty high here! Oops - didn't think about that but...

Crossing the border between Thailand and Cambodia at Poipet it's necessary to walk through a city of Casinos in 'no man's land'as it's illegal to gamble in Thailand therefore they have all set up shop here. What with that and the hoards of beggers with missing limbs - it really was a bit bizarre! 1st impressions of Cambodia - in a word 'muddy', ...

We have been in Cambodia since Saturday night and we absolutely love it here - 4 days and we are already craving the chance to come back here and we havnt even left yet! We deci...
