... guesthouse. Signs were shoved in my face advertising the benefits of this or that hotel, and I could barely see to walk to the side of the bus to claim by bag. With all the shouting in my ear ("Sir, you need a room? Come to the International Guest House." &#8220;Mister, I take you to the Chaya Hotel! We have very nice rooms.&#8221;) I could barely hear myself think. Fortunately, McNeill and I had already decided to stay at the Royal ...

... it is a small engine in a bamboo mat with wheels and the local people use it for getting them and their stuff from A-B. Some nearby villages have no road access so this train acts as an important part of their daily lives and a tourist sight. There is only one track so if you are bombing along and you meet an other train you have to quickly get off, dismantle the train and get back on again! All good fun and it's good seeing the money you hand over go directly to the ...

Today was an early start especially after having a big night. We were up at 6.30 to get a bus to Battambang. Leon was still drunk and I was badly hungover!!! We spent the 4 hour bus trip sleeping. By the time we arrived we both felt better so we set out on a motorbike to see what Battambang had to offer. The countryside surrounding Battambang was simply stunning. It was the first time we ...

... sweet egg in my life. Oh and if you're interested the boys vegetarian meats turned out to be tofu deep-fried, tofu boiled and strips of omelet! Ooh, we also went for a salty filled Chinese bun, which turned out to be stuffed with mushrooms and was delicious, I have a feeling it could easily have gone the other way though! What was particularly funny about this breakfast was that only Jenna and I had been in Asia for any time, the others had been in Australia and I think ...

... guide wanted to give me a good day so took me around to see how rice paper was made. This rice paper is used for fresh spring rolls (I'm a big fan of these in Myanmar, they are steamed and great. In Cambodia I find them a little too minty and full of coriander). Then to a fish paste factory. FACTORY ha ha ha. More like ...

... at 17h00 !! Battambang is a provincial town ... not a great deal to see but pleasant enough. We mainly rested the next day! The final day we decided to hire a tuk-tuk fo the day and head around some sites south of the town. As the made up roads stop just outside town it became extremely bumpy and dusty. So, we spent from 07h30 to 16h00 being thrown around the back of a tuk-tuk ... with breaks of 40 minutes or so to go on a (unique ...
