Hey,
Well we left Battambang and arrived in Phnom Pehn! the first full day we were here we went to the killing fields at Choeung Ek, which was where thousands of people from S-21 were brought to be executed! it was really strange as loads of big holes in the ground where mass graves have been excavated! then went to S-21 in the afternoon which is a mueum now where loads of people were tortured under the khmer rouge, was interesting and just crazy to see all the photos of the people killed there! we had lunch at the boddi tree like u recommended claudia which was nice!
The next day we went to the national museum in the morning which was good loads of pre-angkorian stuff as well as angkorian then in the afternoon we went to the royal palace and the silver pagoda, which were really prettty! was funny though - there was a monk chatting on his mobile in the silver pagoda!
Then the last day in phnom pehm we went shopping went to the soryia sopping mall and then the centre market and the russian market - bought loads!
The next day we got the bus to mondulkiri but wasnt like before claudia was a proper bus and they have flattened all the road and even tarmaced some! did get stuck in the mud once but that was all -didnt take them long to dig us out!
The first day we did nothing just wanted to chill! we walked into sen monorom from the guesthouse and had lunch there! although wasnt nice as had two seperate lots of dogs running after us and growling was v scary but luckily didnt bite us! wlaked back a different way though and that was ok!
The second day we went elephant trekking which was good didnt get rained on this time and ian didnt feel sick (unlike claudia)! just such amazing views across all the tree tops!
Toiday got a minibus back from mondukiri seemed like a good idea at guesthouse as she said faster and pick you up from guesthouse! but they tried to take our bags away and put them in a seperate taxi, but eventually they put them in boot of minibus! and minibus very squashed and i had to sit with someones luggage around my feet the whole time and poking out of the top of one of the bags was a dead animal not sure what it was could only see its mouth anf two arms which were held out by little sticks of wood! not nice!
Going to sihanoukville tomorrow!
Bye xxxx
