Travel Journal Chloe and Henry on the Indochina Loop

Onto Phnom Penh

UNITED KINGDOM | Saturday, 11 July 2009 | Views [332] | Comments [4]

So I'm going to have to tear myself away from Siem Reap. It is a lovely city with such nice people. Everyone just wants a chat to practice their english and when they find out youre from london they want to know your favourite football team. Today I hired a tuk tuk driver for $7 and he took me to some temples just outside town. All the temples are so beautiful here but like everything in cambodia there is a sad story to tell. Many were damaged by th Khmer Rouge who pulled trees onto the walls and sold the bhudda statues to thailand. We have booked a bus to phnom penh as the boat isnt running until next month when it has rained more. So much to look forward to! Lots of love xxx

ps my phone doesnt seem to like cambodia so i cant txt. And the internet is slower so I wont blog as much. I think you can safely assume im having a good time tho :)

Darling Clo Take care in Phnom
Pneh, it doesn't sound as salubrious as Siem Reap - dodgy tuk tuk drivers and certainly less safe. Try to persuade Henry to come with you or hitch up with other travellers maybe. Don't linger if you don't like it - remember you are not tied to an itinerary. Try to blog each day you are there - Ho Chi Minh sounds much nicer from what I have seen on the internet but you will judge it for yourself. Please take care here and don't go around by yourself. All love mummy
PS Becky and I went to our primary school reunion today and met a few folk from 40 years ago - walking down the corridors brought memories flooding back. Damp for Dicks tonight but I bet curry and homebrew will have kicked in. I love you - please be wary in Phnom Penh xxxx Write soon.
