Warning: Disturbing images ahead

After a long and patience-testing day of travel via bus from Viet Nam to Cambodia, we made it across the border into the 16th country of our trip. Our poor bus struggled the whole way there and had a few breakdowns along the way, at one point smelling like it was going to burst into flames. The border crossing was the most ridiculous experience and truly had to bite my tongue because I was so frustrated with the inefficiency! Oh well, we made it safely and in the long run that is what counts ...

Angkor What?!!

Well let us tell you what... After the overnight bus from Chiang Mai ( left at 7pm arrived at 5:30am in Bangkok) we made our way to the train station. We were greatly surprised that they offered showers for 10 B ( 30 cents) and Guylaine indulged in one and emerged refreshed. John remained stinky. Breakfast at the station and then it was off across the city by city buses to the Airport.... that took about 2 hours but with the A/C buses ( the blue ones and a brown one ) it was fine and was a gr...

Angkor Temples day 1.

Jack: Temple day 1. We managed to get up, ready and breakfasted by 8.30 when the eager tuk-tuk should have turned up. He turned up a few minutes late to tell us his brother-cousin had turned up at the previous evening's wedding and he wanted to spend some time with him so wouldn't be able to take us today but had organized some other brother-cousin to do it for us. As we thought we'd overpaid him anyway we said "nah" and opted to get a street tuk- tuk. He said he felt bad. And then the hotel ...

Angkor Temples day 2.

Jack: Angkor Temples day 2. We were up early today, not to hit sunrise as you are supposed to but to hit the quiet period just after sunrise when everybody who came for sunrise is leaving to have breakfast. So we left the hotel by Tuk-tuk at 6.30 and got to Angkor Wat at 7. As we walked across the causeway to the city a few thousand people walked the other way. The view wasn't so good as the sun rises behind Angkor Wat so the front is in the shade in the morning. The place was virtually deser...

Revisiting a much loved place

... approached us and said that this was the ONLY way we would be able to get a visa. The border officials would not accept the forms from us. When we insisted that they would we were then told we would wait in line for 2 hours in order to get a visa and that the bus wouldn't wait for us and we would be stranded. Luckily, the other passengers were of the same mind as I was and so we all decided to ignore her attempts and see what happened at the border.

Cambodia Redeemed, well, Sort of

... Thai took us to a few more sites as well as showing us some more carvings at Angkor Wat in order to better explain them. We saw several temples off the beaten path as well as some more famous temples. It was our final day of seeing the temples and that night we relaxed and met up with Carmen for dinner. Hanan had a “real” hamburger and I ate a not so real veggie burger that was mostly made up of potatoes, onions, peas and carrots. After dinner we ...

... had dinner at the "Angkor Palm" restaurant which came highly recommended by Lonely Planet. It was a good choice, the food was excellent and lived up to the recommendation. We wrote some postcards for friends and family back home, and then walked back to our hotel to pack. It's time to say goodbye to Cambodia. The people here are so friendly and nice, it's gonna be hard to leave, I could stay for a while longer, but tomorrow we'll be heading to Kuala Lumpur.

... popular with everyone these days. I chose a single room, Johannes, a double - 5 bucks and 8 bucks respectively. My room probably came off the worst deal due mainly to shabbiness and the stink emanating from a waste hole at the bathroom floor. Keeping the adjoining door closed at all times was highly recommended. Developing countries, you learn to love them.
The Green Town folks were highly accommodating, excuse the pun. We paid for everything on ...

... everyone else'. We were left with no choice. We had to flee.

It wasn't long before we realised that Siem Reap has it's foreign visitors well and truly stitched up, so to speak. Any attempt at trying to do anything on your own and without the aid of a guide and/or motor transport is met with consternation, as though we were committing an antisocial act of crime. 'It just isn't done like that here', was what we were up against. We wanted to hire a bicycle but were told that we ...
