Hey Folks,
So its onto Saturday the 4th of March this was a travel day really so not a lot here but will fill you in on what happened. We were to fly to Phone phen now we got on the plane which was made for maybe 100 people and their we only 30 people on the whole flight which was intresting, and just to let you know you think easyjet is cheap the flight only cost us 6 USD. So anyway we went out for dinner that night to a resturant were it was traditional cambodion dance begin preformed by children who would have been on the street otherwise. It was intresting to see but the guy that owned the resturant had set it up as a non-profit making organisation it was tier to loojk after the kids which was great. The food was also good as weel (not made by kids).
Sunday the 5th of March. So we had a free morning to do what we wanted so me, Donald, Abbey and Matt all meet up at 8.30 am to go and do a little bit of sight seeing round r local area. We went to the monkey and elepant temple which was just a 3 min walk from the hotel. The monkeys were very funny as you could buy stuff to feed them with and they did seem to enjoy it. So after r quick bit of sightseeing we were off for lunch to a Tapas resturant were the food was great and thier was plenty of it. So after lunch it was off to see what had happend in Cambodia. So we headed to a place called section 21 which was as bad as one of Hitlers death camps but it was for people who were smart if you know anything you were going to be killed and probely in a lot of pain too. It wasa bit of a wake up call but worse was to come as we headed off to the killing fields which was hard to take as around 2 million cambiodians had been killed in places like this and they only had a population of 6 million at teh time. So after a long day of seeing death and stuff we headed out for dinner around 7.30pm for some great food and it was good. Then it was just back to the hotel were me donald abbey lisa matt and tynya all had a few cans and stayed up to watch the footy on the box.
Monday 6th of March.
Well we were of again more travel to be done and only mode of transport left is the boat so off we went in the morning on a journey that was to take use 6 hours. So just chilled out read my book which is great and listen to music. However i did see one of themost amazing tings ever when my American friend Abbey passed out on the Engine cover of the boat and went to sleep for 2 hours thats what i call a hard core sleeper. So as we got to the Ventinam boarder we had to get out of the boat and walk over the boader crossing going through a controlled zone and this is were the good old saying came out 'you want to but 1 dollar'. So the second half of r trip to were we would e staying the night only took use another 2 hours to get to were r hotel was. We jumped off the boat at the resturant were we would be having dinner it was fine all apart from all the flys that were all over the place. So it was off to the hotel now we had got thier nice and early so we could head off to the mountians to well a lot of vetnam and cambodia which was pretty cool. Ofcourse the only way for use to do that was to get motorbike taxis to were we were going now this is a fun way to travel and i think we should all have to try it at some point!!!!! So after r wee tour up thier which was funny and amazing all at the sametime we headed out for dinner. Now we were at a floating resturant on the water so it wasent bad but i have still had much better food in many other places before. So after dinner and guess what we stayed up and played so cards and drank a lot of booze now this was fun as we just learned a new came called cheat which the Aussies were very good at. So we manged to drink about 20 beers between the 5 of use as Abbie would have stayed up and got drunk but she passed out again so no fun for her. So wee all passed out about 12.30am in peperation for a next day of travel.
Cheers
