It seems
that everything passes through Phnom
Penh, so I was back in the city for a few days before
heading further north.
The drive
up from Sihinoukville was interesting. I was on a much cheaper bus than the one
I went down on and as ... Read more >

When I flew in to Phnom Penh I was amazed at the scale of the monsoon flooding. There was water as far as you could see. The river banks and settlements were raised high enough to see them but there was water everywhere. I was worried that we were ... Read more >

After a bout of travellers sickness for me, which added two extra rest days for us in the capital, we took the 4 hour bus ride west to Battambang, the second largest city in Cambodia.
Although, from the size of it you would never believe it, it’s ... Read more >

We started the day by catching a long tail boat for an hour across the Mekong in monsoonal rain. Upon arriving at the boat landing we had to make our way across five boats to get to shore, testing our balancing skills. When we had safely reached dry ... Read more >

If you're like me, most of what you've learned about Cambodia is through Angelina Jolie: awesome temples to plunder and all-you-can-adopt baby buffets. What Angie didn't teach us is that the internet is ludicrously slow here. Sorry for the delay, ... Read more >

The bus ride to Phnom Penh was a little eventful, in that it broke down not far from siem reap. Some thing like the belt broke and we had to wait for a new one to be brought to us. So it was fun to wait around for an hour while the buss was getting fixed.... Read more >

Between Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, I had a few days in Phnom Penh where I really got to see the city and walked the streets. On my 1 st day I got to see the Royal Palace/Silver Pagoda and the National Museum. Nothing spectacular but seeing the ... Read more >

Yesterday was the King’s Mothers Birthday, a National holiday here which meant a day off work. It fell on a Wednesday. I don’t know why we don’t get too many midweek holidays back in the States, it seems like all holidays are moved to Friday or Monday ... Read more >

Tonle Spa lake. Early in the day, I’m probably the first one who has given the entrance ticket that gives you the permit to enter the ‘Tonle Sap lake’ area. Temperature is not so high and moisture is not sticky yet, but both are relentlessly rising;... Read more >

We crossed the border into Cambodia on a boat travelling down the Mekong. The change was immediately apparent. The Cambodian people are far more laid back than their Vietnamese neighbours. They are extremely friendly and welcoming and even the hawkers ... Read more >

We met at about 9 a.m. in the morning for breakfast at the

Hian were talking a mini-van, provided by the guesthouse, for a tour
of the Killing Fields, the National Museum and the Royal ... Read more >

We
set out at 730 a.m. We checked out of our rooms at The Boddhi Tree, but
left our luggage at the café. Our driver was a local who barely spoke a

"waterfall"... Read more >

held up for some reason, so Lianyi and I headed off to the Lonely Planet-recommended Sunrise
Coffee House without ... Read more >
