The sleep was good on our night bus. I woke up at 10.30pm and at 3am both as the bus had stopped for toilet breaks, then for good at 7am. With only an easy hour to go, we watched the sun rise from our 60mph bedroom until we arrived in the sea-side town of Shianokville. First call as always was to get a room for the night. As always the Tuk-Tuk driver dropped us off at his favourite 'commission based' guesthouse; no good! So the search for home begins. We fou...

Today was the day we had been waiting for since leaving Canada. Picked up at 8am by our Tuk-Tuk driver whom we have hired for the day and we were off, to the temples of Angkor! Arguably Aisa's first metropolis, long before Bangkok was even a dot on the map. At its prime (in the 12th century) its population was a staggering 1million while at the same time London was a town of 50,000. Angkor Wat was our first stop and was out of this world! The worlds largest...

At last, a much needed day of no alarms and no timed plans. It was so nice to wake up to the sunlight and the sound of life from the streets below.

Croissants for breakfast and a stroll around the town looking at potential hotel upgrades (for no real reason than just being plain nosey and potentially finding a luxury bargain). Frui...

Errrggghhhh.....a 4:45am wake-up call (after several alcoholic drinks only hours before) makes for a very miserable Siobhan!!! However tempting to stay in Bangkok for another night, just to stay in bed a little longer, we successfully made it up and to the train station and on our train by 6am; today we are heading to Cambodia!! The train journey was a £1 (each) 5.5hour journey, and pretty easy going, compared to previous trips. Through immigration and on Cam...

There was a wave of relief that hit us this morning when waking up. Relief that we have all day to explore Bangkok at our leisure. Relief that we still have one more night in this funky hotel, thus leaving our clothes unpacked and all over our room. Relief that we do NOT have to take any long journeys, just short metro trips today. We started the day by jumping on the nearest metro line and heading to the Grand Palace and National Museum in the Old District (thi...
