After Phnomh Penh we headed down to the South Coast to a place called Sihanoukville as we had read and heard that that the coastline and beaches there were amazing. Unfortunately we were out of season so the beach didn't look that nice and the sea was really choppy and looked a dirty brown colour so it was quite disappointing. We also wanted to do a boat trip out to Bamboo Island which is supposedly like paradise but the boats weren't running as the sea was so ...

Cambodia was HOT upon arrival! Verry humid! Also very cheap compared to Australia and Singapore which was most welcome! We started our Cambodian journey in the capital of Phnom Penh which was the epitome of South East Asian capitals…noisy, bustley, crowded etc. We pre-booked our accommodation online and ended up being in one of the poorer areas of the city but this meant that it was very cheap.

We chilled out in the lounge (complete with xmas tree!!) until reception opened but we couldnt check in u...

Arriving into Mendoza we headed to the HI hostel we´d got out of the guide book as we didnt have any recommendations...which was a shame as its not a very good hostel! Our room is like a prison cell, the beds are tiny with really thin mattresses and we have a weird Columbian guy in our room!! Mendoza is known for its wineries so you can see why we came!! The first day we arrived we had a wander round and went for tea (bland tasting pesto spaghetti, disappointin...
