In Cambodia I was "Lady" but in Vietnam I'm "Miss", except on one occasion when I was "Madame" but I blame the G-Man for that. Saigon is lovely. Wonderful shoppig (although I have no room in my backpack for anything new) ... Read more >

The ruins at Angkor were as impressive as expected. Angkor Wat (the big temple) was especially so, but my favourite was the one with cows grazing all around it. (Still no photos!) I got my chance to run around pretending to be Lara Croft, but that lasted ... Read more >

On Tuesday we left PP for Siem Reap, the town closest to the temples at Angkor. The bus took about 6 hours and was bone ratling in parts, although I've been assured that the roads are now "very good" compared to what they once were. The tuktuk ... Read more >

On Sunday there was more history. We visited the second largest of the killing fields. It was a draining but worthwhile trip, especially as we had an excellent guide. Uncle G's ham sauce spaghetti (Khmer variation) was excellent. After that we headed ... Read more >

Had a small mishap with the adresses but I found Uncle G eventually. He's been very generous with his time and space and we're likely to abuse that for a wee bit longer. I'm very happy to be spending a few quiet days here after travelling incessantly.... Read more >

I was supposed to be spending two days and nights in Bangkok but after the adventure getting there I only had an evening and a morning. There was only time to check into a guesthouse off of the Khao San Road and meet up with M&A for drinks and food.... Read more >

I think most of you already know that the Emirates flight I was due to depart on was cancelled. The pilot got the left wheel stuck in the grass before we even got to the runway. If that's how he drives his plane I'm glad we didn't get a chance to see ... Read more >
