Packed up early and after breakfast headed off to Phnom Penh with our driver Mr Ty. Still honking his horn all the way through the countryside! Liam sat up front this time. Arrived at 12.30pm at Hotel Castle again. Had a whine about the dark room Wayne and I had been given and was upgraded to room with balcony so that was a coup. Headed straight out with our guide Wannie and new driver to Tuol Sleng Genecide Museum. Here we learnt and saw the atrocities committed...

Awoke early to the sounds of birds and we all lay about looking out our treehouse window view towards the islands. A crisp cold shower ( no hot water here) in the outdoor bathroom and we headed down to breaky. Everyone well today, the first time for a few days. Wayne 'face timed' Jill and we found out Dad (Poppy) had been in hospital all night. He had got some food caught in his oesophagus that wouldn't move( too much talking while eating on Xmas day) and had to...

Merry Christmas! Today we were woken by Kobe about 6am to let us know there were some pressies under our little tree. We were also joined by Liam who said Lewis had been up all night sick. Lewis arrived looking worse for wear. The boys opened their gifts but within a very short time Liam was sick- so we were in for a very different Xmas day. The owner let us know there had been a ' no show' so we could move into a double story tree house where we were all in toge...

A early start, and on the road at 7.30am with our driver Mr Ty. An uneventful 2 and half hour journey(apart from Mr Ty loving to toot his horn - even when there was nothing to toot at!) and a close call for a dog choosing to cross the road in front of the van! Once we were at Kep we had a lot of fun trying to work out the road to Jasmine Valley Ecolodge - a jungle retreat - a small narrow winding track up the mountain- poor driver was so worried where we were t...

Quiet day today. Kobe and Wayne remain sick and didn't move from bed. Lewis, Liam and I headed out by tuk tuk to Mlop Tapang which is a centre for street kids in Sihanoukville. It was founded in 2003 by an English lady Maggie, with some caring locals after seeing street kids sleeping under a tree. It is now an education centre, health centre and safe house for kids at risk from 0 to 24 years. It was amazing what they have done and we spent some time with the very...
