Sothea Siem Reap

... on the way to Cambodia.<br><br>When the van dropped me off at the FON bus, I was stunned. It is a HUGE luxury tour bus, complete with the FON name, logo, and website emblazoned on the sides of the bus. The interior of the bus was similarly stunning. Leather seats, flat screen televisions, and curtains. I sat down in my chair and while I was looking around at the motorcoach splendor, I noticed something I hadn&#8217;t expected. No bathroom on the bus ...

... were small but different to the first day, which was a relief as a whole day of same same would have been a bit frustrating. The temples were made of sandstone and we could climb up the ridiculously steep steps and around most of the building's ledges.<br><br>At some point in the day we came to Preah Kahn - the best of the lot as far as I was concerned. It was like the Tomb Raider temple but several times the size. There were large courtyards being overridden with vast trees ...

... very high, and at 5'4" tall, I must raise my knee almost to my chest to climb up each step. I had prepared for this trip on an elliptical machine. Strapping 50 lbs on my back and running stairs at the local high school stadium would have been more appropriate. Everything is so stunningly beautiful, at first I don't care if it is hot, steep, or humid. Some of the carvings in the hardest type of sandstone survive as if they had been carved ...

... Bangkok all the way into Siem Reap with border crossing and all.! Well tip top sharp at 7.30 am we got picked up in front of our Palace and stepped into a little mini-van. Perfect! if this mini- van would bring us all the way to Siem Reap....it could not be better.Okay we were not the only ones..there had to be some other people to be picked up, and one of them was straight away my favorite NR 1 all time!!! This red haired girl from Oz-land stepped in, sat ...

... imagine was a tender one spent at our resort drinking fruit juices, water and eating food. We also treated ourselves to a massage. 1hr full body for about 4 euro!! Its a tough life I tell thee!! So day after that we got the overnight bus to Bangkok for one more day with Louisa before she went home. Stayed in the infamous Kho San Rd which is the backpacker hub of Bangkok and a dirty seedy hole of a place!!! Had a good night out with Louisa and then again she was gone (I was ...

... paddling pool swimming with little "chi chi" fish, apparently they are from Singapore. They are supposed to eat the old skin off your feet to allow new skin and make them smoother. <br><br>At first I absolutely hated it, I am incredibly ticklish so could bearly put my feet in the water, so I don't think this was the massage for me. As soon as you do put your ...

... face masks, a treasure hunt and a game of leap frog. <br>Osborne House&#8217;s Italian sponsor Alessandro Vannucci has come back for another 3 months over the summer and is once again snapping away to bring us these fantastic images. A huge thanks to him and all the volunteers that contributed to making the fun day a huge success.Thanks <br>RobinJul 14, 2009 ...

... br>We had one too!! The young ambassadors of Philips Lumileds Lighting Malaysia~ Any modelling agencies wanna hire us for part time ...

... We sped back to the hostel. He was a good rider for his age. I showered and we met up for a bite to eat, although with a recently married American couple from Frisco who were planning to spend a year touring around Thailand, India, Nepal and China. She was also adept at website designing.<br>I think I ended the day making a hopeless attempt at trying to rescue my lost photos. As I said in the previous post, better luck next time. <br>

... 8211; they couldn&#8217;t speak each others language but could both speak Korean! Totally mental if you ask me!HEE HEE We chatted about our trips &#8211; they had just left PP and loved it so that was encouraging, they also recommended SAPA in Vietnam as a beautiful place. We said we were going to HCMC which they also enjoyed And then he said ooh you should go far south and try PHU QUOC &#8211; It was fate. I must admit we got a bit giddy about this , he said it was ...
