Friday the 13th was a bad day to travel. Fuckin bus was a total heap o shite n broke dooon half wey there. Kunts took 2 hours trying to fix it to realise they weere useless bastards and phoned for another heap to take us to BATTYBONG. Ofcourse they feckers towed it all the way back to the city at 20ks an hooor, we arrived at 9:30 pm (after getting up at 7 in the morning ya bas!) Went roond the countryside and tootled thru some pretty farming villages wi "Grease", a bit of a cool kid in town who told me a wee bit about Cambodian history but mainly about the number of dirty European birds he'd been knobbing the living daylights out of as I kind of apres-tour "the true khmer booaby extra!" The things you learn eh? Bloody amazing!

Anyway I got a pickup truck the next morn at 7 fukcin AM which only had two goddamn wheel drive ON A FUCKING "ROAD" THAT WAS HARDLY GOOD ENOUGH FOR TRACTORS! Anyway after getting out and sprayed to shit wi all kinds o mud n Ox cack every 300 metres to push us out of every ditch, river, patch of mud, ravine and all kinds o mad terrain or to get the even dafter kunt in front to attempt to pull us out of three rice paddies and even havin to actually move peoples house's to get thru was a feckin nightmare! We skiiiided ooor way all the way to the DIRTY STINKING RIVER to realise the overloaded boat was nearly falling apart, the engine was fucked and it had about 20 people too many hanging from the railings! After finally getting the old boat engine started we pootled along randomly for 8 buttock wrenching hours thru floating villages and rice paddies n a big brown lake n I got to Siem Riep and smoked a fat one of the strong snooky stuff.
