Peter B Andy, it sounds like you had an exceptional time, which is fantastic given the time you put into planning and the expectations which you had every time you spoke about it. Good to have you both back in the UK in one piece. About the old rooster. c*** fighting is as you know a major sport in Asia and you probably chose to pick a fight with the sole retired all Asia champion. His agent says that he is up for a rematch. I am going to miss your travel blog. Take care and we hope to see you soon. Pete

Andy Not losing any sleep, I'm following it here on BBC, OTIB and BCFC Twitter (hotel has provided laptop in room!).

Matt I feel truly aggrieved that my name has not been immortalised in turtle form. Grand national here and the boat race here today. Big game for Bristol City too- try not to lose sleep over it ;) xxxx

Michael Watched City live on Sky - brilliant game. I now have to worry about Preston on Saturday.! Your holiday sounds brilliant especially the luxury shower pod for two.

Peter B I though you had left the R & R behind? 10.00 am starts, executice shower pods, multiple rooms etc this hardly following in the footsteps of Michael Palin and sleeping on the floor with the water buffalo I think young Tonkin that the decadent life has got to you and starting to slack off from being the rough travel guide!

sandee The shower pod sounds like the GT version to ours!!! Use every outlet you can - happy days!!!

Andy Are you sure? We are up to about 350 pictures and counting! You'll have to come and stay for a week.

Sandee What an amazing time you've had - not sure I could have kept up the pace!! Enjoy your few days of R&R and have a good few G&Ts or their equivalent. Looking forward to seeing all the pics - honestly!!

Andy Pete - you should see what crossing the road consists of! You wait for an imaginary gap in the traffic (that doesn't exist) then you step out into the road and walk steadily to the other side. All motorcyclists are able to judge your progress and avoid you (or at least no ones hit us yet!). However it takes some bottle to step out in front of what resembles the whole of the grand national field steaming towards the first fence.

Pete B Andy I was once asked bya Vietnamese film crew over here doing a series on the UK what a roundabout was and what its purpose was. From your description of the traffic conditions I can now understand fully the blank looks on their faces. The concept of travelling in one direction and giving way to other motorists was so foreign to them I may as well have come from another plant. Sounds like you are havng a great time, bar the Killing Fields that is.

Emily Glad you're enjoying your trip. I'm really enjoying reading your blog and reminiscing about my visit to Cambodia and Vietnam. Visiting the Killing Fields and Tuel Sleng are probably still the most emotional travel experiences I have had too. I remember finding it incredible that I didn't know anything about the Pol Pot regime before I visited too. I remember the bumpy "Highway Number 1" in Cambodia too, after driving from Thailand to Cambodia (a long 9 hour drive that was not much distance at all)! Enjoy Ho Chi Minh city. I found the best way to cross the road there is to close your eyes and walk at a very steady pace. The motorbikes should then be able to judge where you will be and swerve round you!!

Judy and John Thoroughly enjoying armchair travelling with you through your blog entries! Hope the sun appears for you along the way.

Sandee what a hectic time you're having. I agree with Pete B, you will need another holiday (or a fortnight's sleep) to get over it - hope Julie isn't flagging too badly. I think John should try a three times chilli - he almost met his match at Waggamammas!!!

Pete B Having partaken of the dreaded chilli I think that the 05:15 start will be no problem as you will probably be sitting some where with cold pocelain. Seriously it sounds like you are having a great if somewhat hectic time. You will need another holiday to get over it

Sarah T (the elder!) Have a great time in Cambodia! I'm astonished that some good honest Tonkin 'feedback' wasn't given at the airport! I hope for both your sakes that you had a good chilli-free night!! Really enjoying the updates!
