Day 13 – Something a Little Easier

Saturday, 13 Nov 2010 | Views [400]

Right, this should be somewhat lighter than the last journal.   No apologies for that, certain things have to be said. Today we’re learning to cook Khmer food.   Being honest, Khmer is not a culinary style that is world renowned – many people ... Read more >


Day 12 – Phnom Penh Proper (and then some)

Thursday, 11 Nov 2010 | Views [473] | Comments [1]

Our first full day in PP, and the first morning in almost a week where we haven’t had to set the alarm to get up for something specific.   Ironic then that we both wake up fairly early (around 06.00) and struggle to get back to sleep, then are awoken ... Read more >


Day 11 – Bye Bye Siem Reap, Hello Phnom Penh

Wednesday, 10 Nov 2010 | Views [418] | Comments [1]

Another fairly early start, up at 06.30 ready to get the 08.30 bus down to Phnom Penh.   Bit knackered, and slightly annoyed when the transport to the bus station turns up late but hey ho – it could be worse, we could be at work!   Traffic seems ... Read more >


Day 10 – Sunrise at Angkor Wat

Wednesday, 10 Nov 2010 | Views [379]

An early start, up at 04.00 ready to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat.   Sip has turned up in a jacket – apparently it’s ‘cold’ this time in the morning, despite being well over 20 degrees C!   We head over to the temple and even beat most of the security ... Read more >


Day 9 – The Big Ones: Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom

Tuesday, 9 Nov 2010 | Views [455]

Today we cover the classics at Siem Reap.   Even driving up the road to Angkor Wat raises the hairs on the back of your neck: it’s iconic and it doesn’t disappoint.   Unfortunately, it’s also a mecca for everyone else in Siem Reap (1m visitors per ... Read more >


Day 8 – An Introduction to Siem Reap and its Temples

Monday, 8 Nov 2010 | Views [412]

Be prepared, this is going to be a LONG one... Not such an early start today, we’re collected from the hotel by our guide and driver at 09.00.  Our guide is called Sip (pronounced sepp) and a car with AC is very welcome – even this early the humidity ... Read more >


Day 7 - Holiday in Cambodia

Saturday, 6 Nov 2010 | Views [410]

Early start today, up before 06.00 for final packing before a little breakfast and pick-up by the visa run minibus.  By way of background, visas are very important in Thailand, and for most visitors this is gained on arrival.  However, given the pretty ... Read more >
