After a hazardous start to our decent from Hanoi to Phonm Penh...actually we nearly missed our flight as we got our days mixed up, thinking the flight was tuesday but it was monday! We had organised to have dinner with a friend on the monday night and couldn't get in contact with him so hopefully he's still not waiting at the city gate in Ho Chi Minh. We felt so bad!!
We jumped off the plane in Ho Chi Minh and then grabbed a taxi to our bus. Our bus was leaving (we were late by 30mins as we were told the wrong time!) We were freakin out! A motorbike driver took coby and came back for me to find the bus. I was quite scared sitting waiting for the motorbike driver to return for me!!
Finally we arrived in phonm Penh and thankgoodness Bryan came and picked us up in a toktok otherwise we wouldvé been toltally lost! Bryan had organised a place for us to stay (that did your laundry for free!) and then we went out to dinner. We had fish Amok. YUM! best dish yet!
We hung out with Bryan and Lisa, got to see their home and team centre and also some projects they've been a part of. it was great to see an aspect of their lives and community. We had dinner together on tuesday night and had a real time of refreshment! then got in touch with Brent and Di Wilsmore and had lunch with them on Wednesday (in our lovely smelling clothes!) and they invited us to stay at their home! YAY. They're such a lovely family. Its been nice to sleep in separate rooms and have some space ready for Thailand.
We're meeting up with a new friend (Racheal) from "servants" who is doing a 5 week internship. So she's gonig to show us where she is living in the slums with a family and where Carly lived. It'll be an eye opener for sure!
Well we're off tomorrow to siem reap and then Thailand on the 24th december. Hope you all have a very lovely Christmas.
