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 ...

So I'm up early to get to the Royal Palace. I get my free breakfast from the hostel and jump on the back of a bike. I ask him for the palace, he says he knows, then he takes me to a hotel. I try to explain in my most simple English that I want to go to the palace. I give him directions and as we draw close he raises one hand in the air 'ahhhh the Royal Palace' I tap him on the shoulder, well done buddy. On one of the corners there are police. My driver just stops...

Decide that I'm going to do something today. So we decide to take the city tour that includes the killing fields. We arrange with the hostel and we jump in the back of the tuk tuk. First stop is S21, which is a school in central Phnom Penh. Quick run down of the history. The Khmer Rouge were the political group in power, in 1975. Pol Pot was the leader and decided to return Cambodia to a pagan state. No private property, everyone works for the state, the idea to ...

As if yesterday morning wasn't bad enough, today we are woken up to be told that there are no more beds in the hostel and that we have to check out. Brilliant. So up, dressed and packed, Elias has scoped out somewhere that has good reviews so we bundle our gear in to a tuk tuk and off we go. ----- First ting we notice about the place is just how friendly the people are. So much nicer than the ones at the previous hostel. We check out the room and decide to stay...
