I ensure that I get as much sleep as possible and pretty much check out just as the clock strikes 12. That's called getting your monies worth right there. I just chill out for the whole day in the bar/restaurant area of my hotel, while I have my rucksack left at reception until I am to go. Many fruit shakes are consumed and I do a bit of planning for Siem Reap, followed by the reading of a book that I bought about the atrocities in Cambodia, of course a photocopi...

Elias is up early and off. I get up and wish him all the best for the rest of his journey, maybe see him at some point later in my travels. I jump back in my bed and fall promptly asleep before waking later. ----- Another significant improvement in how I am feeling, I am pleased to be on the way to recovery. I have been checking out the local travel agents to see what the best price I can get for my bus, $7-$24, quite the range, all for the same bus as there is...

I wake up this morning feeling much better. Still not 100% but so much better than yesterday, not that it would be hard. I have a twin room because the hotel does not have any single rooms and so I say to Elias if he wants to stay here. He decides to move out of the horror that is the Led Zephyr as he was not feeling tip top yesterday either. So I enjoy my breakfast while Elias gets himself sorted out. ----- Elias needs some swimming shorts as he lost his in HC...

I wake up and still feel terrible. My head is pounding and even looking around hurts my eyes and head. I didn't have a good sleep last night, tossing and turning all night. Even take some paracetamol did nothing for the pain. I have decided that if I have no improvement by tomorrow then I am going to have to go and see a doctor. Perhaps the trip on the bus has caused this issue, after all I did have cold air blowing on my head for hours. My day is spent moving be...

I got my ticket yesterday for Sihanoukville. Elias has to wait a day to finalise his visa, so I'm heading down on my own and he'll follow later. I have checked out of the hotel and I'm waiting downstairs for my pickup at 9.20. Of course my pick up is late and by the time I get to the station the 10am bus is nowhere to be seen. So I just wait for the 11 bus, when it gets here I try to get on, but my written ticket says 10 and so I am not allowed on and I'm told I ...
