Well I (Amy) awoke this morning at 4am saw a massive centipede and couldn't couldn't get back to sleep ( not because of the massive insect!). Got up at 6am( hard to believe huh Mum!)and chilled on the deck till Summer woke at a more reasonable hour of 8am. We ended up sitting with a Spanish guy, a canadian, a sweedish and 2 aussie girls while eating breakfast. ( dont worry i got a dig in on the aussies when the swed asked if the canadian if he was american which i replied was like calling a kiwi an aussie much to the girls disgust.)When we were ready our driver took us to see the s21 prison and the killing fields. it was a horrific sight which i will explain in later posts and many people we meet were not keen or planning to visit. I felt and explained, i thought it was important for us to see this if we planned on staying in Cambodia any long length of time to see a glimpse of what the people here have gone through and try understand why there is so much strugle and poverty here. It was another crazy driving experience of about 45 mins each way and on the way back we had our first accident (very minor). A young girl pulled out in front of us on her scooter to turn into a side road and we braked and skided into her! We were travelling very slowly so no damage was done but it did knock the girl and bike to the ground and our driver struggled to free his leg to get of the motorbike to prevent him falling. It was quite unbelievable really but i am sure this is a daily accurance, hopefully not to often for us!
It was extremely hot today and we rested in our room for the rest of the avo. We now sit on the deck having a drink while listening to Bob Marley, relaxing in the slight breeze before trying to get a full nights sleep tonight!
Peace
Amy and Summer
