Yucky day...

We woke up and it was still pouring with rain, it didn't stop at all during the night, so everywhere was so muddy and disgusting and our clothes were soaked, so we put on wet clothes and spent the day pretty much waiting for the rain to stop… yucky day…

Hanging out

Had a nice chill day today hanging out with some other travellers. Went down into town about 1 1/2 km away, nice walk. But on the way back it was pouring down with rain and as there were 5 of us decided to call a tuk tuk. The price should be 1$ but he quoted $2 so we refused to pay...

Exploring Kep

We decided to explore around Kep today, firstly going to the crab market and then a walk around the coast. Then we decided to go a bit further afield and as there were 4 of us, it was cheaper to hire a tuk tuk for the day instead of hiring 2 bikes. So after some hard negotiating we...

Yummy yummy seafood with Kampot pepper

The owners of Mekong Sunrise guesthouse were kind enough to arrange free transport for us to the bus stop, and then we were able to get straight on the bus, easy travelling once again. We took the bus to Phnom Penh then had to wait for 1 ½ hours for the next bus to Kep. It didn’t take long to...

Garden party

Got up bright and early (well 7.30am) and had a quick coffee before checking out and making our way to the bus stop heading to Kampong Cham. The bus did surprisingly arrive in Kratie on time, but broke down as soon as it arrived?! But after just ½ an hour’s wait another bus showed up, so as...

... and that's it!

So after a proper break in Europe, I had another 7 weeks in Cambodia in the rural wild west in Oli village or also called: Thmar Pouk. At the first hospital meeting shortly after my arrival the staff made clear that they would like me to help implementing the Ministry of Helth Infection...

Irawaddy dolphins

We spent the morning walking around Krati to see if we could find anyone else to join us to see the Irrawaddy Dolphins in the afternoon, but without any luck, which would’ve helped drop the cost a little. We went regardless though stopping off beforehand to climb 360 steps to the top of a...

Robbing bastards...

Woke up this morning still drunk from our impromptu piss up at Adam’s bar. What better way to be crossing the border?Then, made our way down for our 8am boat which finally left about 9.15. Once we crossed onto the mainland we were ushered to an office where we were given visa forms and told...

Last day in Siem Reap

We had a free day today - we made the most of a sunny morning by the pool and then retreated to the restaurant Terrace to watch a storm hit. We were a bit creeped out by a huge swarm of dragonflies that appeared out of nowhere just before the rain started - pretty apocalyptic. Later on we...

"You're tourists - that means you're very rich!"

Today was an odd one. It started off normally enough, with a boat ride around Siem Reap's floating village. Our 21-year-old tour guide was a bit of a legend, claiming that he wasn't going to bore us with facts, and then proceeding to tell us his life story. From the 'facts' he did get around...
