...so hellish am in Cambodia, its cool, the roads are well rocky tho-really battambang (bottombang)....spent about 9 hours in 2 different minibuses today.
Left just after 7am (couldnt sleep so was scetching around the streets of Bangkok at 4.30am ish to get some water and a phonecard so could phone the special 1)!
Dont tell me mum!!! :)
So took about 3 and a g\half hours to get to Thai/Cambodia border-omg, hectic, people everywhere. Some guy took our big bags and then we queued for about 30mins and then got the obligatory stamp and then were effectively in no mans land...then into Cambodia side-omg, stinking ofold fish or summat...argh but ansum sign as walked over "Kingdon of Cambodia" and a mini Angkor Wat on top. COOL!!! :)
So then the hideous roads we were all tipped up but was mad seeing the scenery and the well what onlky can be described as poverty that these people live in...maybe they dont see it that way??!!???
So then went for lunch which was nice, I carbed up and then onwards, by the end it was so relaxing being thrown about on the bus.
Tried Cambodian ginger cake which Long our guide said was spicy and it wasnt at all, the lil joker!!
So now am in Siem Reap trying to avoid the mozzies, hoping for a good nights sleep tonight and looking forward to seeing Angkor Wat in the morning. ANSUM :)
They have a hot air balloon there you can go up in and take aerial shots-will see if I have time. Proper ansum nice innit!
Well, thas all for now, have a very happy new year everyone.....heres to 09 (08 was bloody fantastic)!!! Yay!!
Am avoiding the comedy scetches for a change...he he well there is still time, no doubt it will happen in the tarantula place :(
Sailor-thanks for msg, love yous.
Take Care

Then back to hotel as gotta be on the road at 7am...omg!
So crossing the border into Cambodia awaits 2moro-should go through around lunchtime then reach Sien Reap by late afternoon! Then to bed and leave hotel at 8am (new years day) to approach Angkor Wat from the back to avoid tourists and then see sunset too-around 5ish...then leave at 4.30am on jan 2nd to see sunrise at AW-woohoo!! How cool is that, theres quite a bit of free time too and we will also be visting some local homestays nd eating with them.
Oh crap, Long (the guide) has said that on the bus journey to Phenom Phen we will stop to try the local delucacy-deep fried turantula-erm...no thanks...or maybe I will..mind over matter and all that. Oh and when we get into Vietnam we are gonna get some bikes and go up into the mtns-coolio!! Long said that he will help me find a trip to the Chu Chi tunnels when we in 'Nam as all the others gfoing up to Hanoi so will be on me tod.
