Arriving in Cambodia was a little different to how i expected it. We got to the airport which was very nice and new looking we got straight through the visa line no problems and all the atm machines (there are a lot) give out the coveted US dollar. We ... Read more >

   We finally made it to Cambodia. The border crossing was a little annoying due to corrupt males in power. The man at the counter said it cost 1000baht ($30USD) to get our visas processed in 3 minutes. Or we could follow the government posted sign directly ... Read more >

Sihanoukville: I truly am a beach person.  Didn't realise how much I had missed it until we saw the beach out of the bus we had been sitting in for nearly 10 hours. We are staying in a cheap (and nasty) guesthouse.  But we are literally on the beach ... Read more >

Drawing the curtains on Cambodia.

Did our change of location in Sihanoukville, result in an improvement in my feelings towards the place? Yes and no. The Green Gecko was definitely a better place to hang out, do our best to imitate people who can play billiards, and eat omelette rolls ... Read more >

Sunrise at Angkor: got up in the dark, 4:15am to cycle (we were motoring out there, racing dawn) out to the temples.  Hit some potholes along the way and lost my breakfast baguette. Managed to find the hill, Phnom Bakheng that is apparently great to ... Read more >

What is going on? Is there a worldwide shortage of material at present; especially here in Sihanoukville, at Satan’s' fashion show of truly diabolical swimming garments. That wouldn't explain why the Cambodians, some of the poorest people in the world, ... Read more >

tuk tuks, massages, bicycles and temples

So Siem Reap is the craziest place for tuk tuk drivers.  Got absolutely swamped when we got off the bus.  Got a lift to our guesthouse (quite nice, mattress on the floor again though) and then an offer to go to the sunset over Angkor and maybe a 3 day ... Read more >

Sihanoukville has been exposed! No other place has seen such an astronomical increase in everything undesirable, and I aim to expose as much as has been exposed to me. Exposed as naive were my claims that Sihanoukville would enjoy controlled and responsible ... Read more >

Saysudai from Phnom Penh! From Vientiane Erin and Tony headed for the Thai islands.  I went south to the 4000 islands at the bottom of Laos.  Not as magnificent as I thought they would be but a great place to chill out.  Very hot.  Lao lao mojito not ... Read more >
