My blog 15.10.11 - Sihanoukville Day 2 - The Boat that rocked! So this morning was the boat adventure that i'd been persuaded to purchase the day before. I was actually quite excited about it even though I didn't really have any idea where i was going or what i'd be doing. A little adventure. I arrived just on time and handed over my ticket as I got on board. The boat was quite big and was really nice. It had three levels... the bottom was where all the tables ...

14.10.11 - Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville - Day 1 Victory Beach This morning I got the bus to the coast of Cambodia. Time for relaxation. 2.5 weeks of constant non-stop moving, taking in all the sights I wanted to see over three countries and i'm pooped. Time to chill for five days me thinks.

As we left the hostel in the tuk tuk the first thing I did was look up - YES, the skie...

11.10.11 - Siem Reap Day Three - The Grand Circuit and a not so picture perfect Sunset. This morning Lion picked us up and drove us to one of the lakes which sits around the outskirts of the sites of the temples, where we could have breakfast. The lake was beautiful and whats more, there were young children climbing the trees and jumping off into it. It really was picutre perfect. Marie started to tell me that she was raised in Quebec opposite a lake where she s...
