This blog is here so that I can remind Corinne where we have been and what we have done, when she has forgotten two weeks after we return home!
It is my ramblings and some of the content will only mean something to me and Corinne but with that in mind, please enjoy our view of some of the parts of the World we have visited and what’s happened along the way!
HERE’S TO MANY MORE TRAVEL ADVENTURES…
Today is our last full day on the island, so after a few hours on the villa deck and around the pool, we decide that we are going to escape the hotel for dinner again today and head over to Sok San for a more local experience than the mainly western food that the hotel […]
Read MoreIt’s a day of rest today. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, except sit on the beach or by the pool. As the sand is too hot to even walk on barefoot, it’s the umbrella shade by the pool that wins the day! There’s not much else to report today – a swim punctuates the […]
Read MoreWe don’t wake to a sunrise today but instead have a beautiful view at the foot of our bed, straight out to an azure blue sea beyond the white sand beach. After a leisurely breakfast we head down to the activity centre to see if we can rent a bike for the day. This is […]
Read MoreI am awake at 5.50am and jump out of bed to make sure I have not missed the sunrise. The usual flask of hot water and cookies are on the table at the front of the tent and the sky is just starting to turn to orange and purple. I wake Corinne and we both […]
Read MoreWe have a day to ourselves today; nothing planned except some R&R! We take a very leisurely breakfast in what has now become ‘our spot’, at a table in the sand, looking out over the landing stage and small beach. Before wandering back to our tent, we get chatting to Paolo, the hotel manager, who […]
Read MoreI knew we were going to enjoy this part of the holiday and that it would be a good chance to relax! Despite this, I was awake at 5.45 this morning and ready to watch the sun rise over the forest on the other side of the river. To facilitate this, the hotel staff slip […]
Read MoreWe go down to breakfast today and have a similar breakfast to yesterday, interrupted by the receptionist telling me that Exo, the Trailfinders’ rep in Asia, were on the phone and wanted too speak to us! It turns out that, overnight, they had arranged our transfer to our next destination and our driver was waiting […]
Read MoreLast night was probably the least comfortable of the journey so far, with ineffective air conditioning contributing for the most part. However, we are ready for a day ahead of pepper farm visiting after a quick breakfast that is only available in western form from this hotel. Omelettes and french bread and preserve were the […]
Read MoreBreakfast this morning was not the usual mixture of continental breakfast items and local fare but instead, we were offered a menu with mainly Cambodian dishes. We could have elected to have their take on an English breakfast or French bread, pastries and deserts but instead we opted to go local. The choices were mainly […]
Read MoreIt’s a day on the road today. We have a leisurely breakfast and leave the hotel at 9am. It’s a long drive back past the Tonle Sap lake and on into Phnom Penh, taking around five and a half hours. The drive passes quickly with much to see on the route that is new to […]
