Siem Reap

Hello Gentle Readers



After 1 night in Phnom Penh we made our way back, on a PassApp taxi, to the international airport and our 40 minute flight to Siem Reap.

The airport had a Krispy Kreme concession and despite Robert dropping his on the floor we had a nice donut with very sweet icing each. Lena even suggested that we buy a big box and take them back to China.

The flight was short and as we flew over the Cambodian countryside we could see lots of flooded paddy fields. It was quite a sight.

We landed in Siem Reap and were met by a driver from our hotel. We had assumed they would send a car. Imagine our surprise when it turned out we were travelling to the hotel in a motorcycle pulled Tuk Tuk a bit like this one.


After what seemed like an eternity of bumpy roads and being overtaken by crazy other roaf users we arrived at out hotel.

The Angkor Angel Boutique Villa is more impressive than the hotel we stayed in in Pnomh Penh. It has a small, clean pool and the food was great. Plus, only $1 for a gin and tonic....kerching.

Anyway we are gonna have a very lazy day today. Tomorrow we are going to see Angkor Wat....its gonna be a very cool Christmas

Phnom Penh

Hello Gentle Readers

It has been a while since I posted anything new. There are many reasons for this. The biggest being the fact that at work I got promoted and I wanted to spend my home time with Robert and Lena and not face down in my phone writing about stuff.

I have not given up on the blog though just taking a bit of a break. Stay tuned.


Anyway, as you know I like to post about our travels and for Christmas this year we are in Cambodia. We flew here from Guangzhou in just under 2 hours 30 minutes and are staying in the Mekong Dragon Boutique Hotel....for one night.

Tomorrow we head to Siem Reap and the Wonder of the World Angkor Wat.

Stay tuned for pictures
