We were roughly awoken for another stop at around 5 am in the morning. This was two hours short of our ETA so Q quickly ran out for another bathroom break. This was however our destination, as the busdriver tried to explain to me while I was still half asleep, followed by the instruction that I was supposed to get out of the bus and grab my bags. Q of course, hadn't realised this and you can imagine her shock as she came back out to find out the bus had dissapear...

The next morning, finally being able to stomach something again we had breakfast very early on the boat. A sumptuos feast consisting of a huge baguette, plenty of fruit and vietnamese coffee (coffee with condensed milk) carried as along the Mekong towards the floating market where we arrived around 7 AM. Unfortunately the floating market had pretty much almost finished and all that was left were several long boats covered in the remaining product and a smaller bo...

We boarded the slim boat just before lunch (surprise, surprise... there was a slight delay) and after a 7 hour pleasure cruise during which we received two stamps we arrived in the small and uneventful 'border' town of Chau ...

The good thing was that we were picked up by the bus company again and taken to the agency where the 'big' bus was awaiting us. It was waiting... because it was broken down. Our early departure became later and later but they...

Having rubbed the sleep out of our eyes, and me being kicked out of bed by Q, we prepared for our morning run to the Angkor Wat. Here, amongst the crowd of tourists, we watched the sun rise above the temple. I'm sure it looks amazing, but on our cloud covered morning it was somewhat uninspiring... the setting however was hilarious, with a load of tourists milling around to get the best spot for their highlight shot of the Angkor Wat visit. Our tuktuk driver for...
