From Penh to Pot Back on the Giant Ibis bus at 14:45 for our 2.5 hour journey to Kampot, Southern Cambodia. The first hour was spent getting through traffic in Phnom Penn (still minor compared to Manila), and then waiting to have some air put in the tyres - how exciting! The journey took a lot longer than we thought because of this, but the roads were much better and not full of the dust that I had written about on the way into PP. The journey ended in similar...

Fixing Computers Tash had seen a charity that you could volunteer at for the day called Choice. They clean and supply water to villages that can't use the local water as it has Arsenic and Cyanide in that can't be filtered, also they provide transport to poor children who can't get to school, or buy uniform and provide further education in a school close to the villages (about a hour away from Phnom Penn).

Meeting Chum Mey About a 40 minute Tuk-Tuk ride got us to the site of the "Killing Fields" Choung Ek. You take a audio tour around the site.

Most of the original site was torn down by local people who used the materials to build themselves shelter. 75%...

Finding the Penh We left the hotel at 7:15 for our final journey in Dara's Tuk-Tuk, to the Giant Ibis Bus Station. I had joked with Dara that he should take us to Phnom Penh his vehicle, this made him laugh! We had heard mixed stories about the journey to Cambodia's capital. Some say "don't take the night bus", others say "don't take the day bus" as well as "take the boat" and "dont take the boat". There is also a 40 min flight (the bus takes 7 hours). Huiyen su...

Last Wat Dara picked us up about 07:30 and we took a long ride (1 hour) to our final temple of Bantey Srei. This is the first one we've been to that seemed to be set up like a standard tourist attraction that you would see anywhere else in the world, by that I mean a welcome centre, toilets, information boards etc which gave the impression that the site would be quite large. It was the first time we had any real hassle from young children to give them money, w...
