Somadevi

... water into our clothes every hour.  We eventually finished our tour of Angkor Thom and went to check-in to our hotel, the Somadevi Angkor Hotel.  Our room is nice and large, with a balcony deck overlooking the pool.  We had lunch at a ...

The day started early at 3:45am... its pretty hard to wake up at that time, but somehow we managed to pull ourselves out of bed and got dressed to go to Angkor Wat.  We met Kim-san in the hotel lobby, and drove out to Angkor Wat in the dark. We ...

We started the day at 6 in the morning.  A tuk-tuk (The Cambodian version) came to pick us up from our hotel to take us to our quad atv adventure.  We met Sobey, our guide for the day.  We also met Sean and Jen, another couple who from ...

 We arrived in Siem Reap in mid-afternoon. The immigration guys were some of the most abrupt officials we have had the pleasure of meeting. We had the rest of the day to ourselves with a dinner and show planned for the evening. Our hotel was in need ...

Well, here we are......the day has finally arrived. After our (that's ALL of us) 12 months of gutbusting work we were all looking forward to seeing how our efforts have helped at the school we were fundraising for. Of course, first off for the day was a ...

It's been another massive day folks. Not the least of it was the absolutely stinking heat. We reckon it was in the high 30's and it's been pretty hard going especially with a full day of 'temple-ing'!  Anyway, here's the latest and greatest.... Up ...

Picture this if you will. Our bus travelling at 100kms an hour plus on the right hand side of the road (as per the law here). We overtake a scooter travelling close to the edge of the road. All okay, but only if there wasn't a truck overtaking another ...

After seeing the last of the in-country team from The Cambodia Project leave Phnom Penh on Thursday I found it time to head out myself.  The team had wrapped up its work after more than two months in Cambodia and I was in touch with Jean-Michel up ...
