Best day so far...

Tottenham won the cup!

Cup final day, and my first excuse to wear my new Spurs shirt. The time difference made it a late 10pm kick off, but we headed into Siem Reap to find a bar who would let us watch the match. They weren't too happy that it ran into extra time, neither were we, we had to get up at 5am.

Early morning start for our boat trip to Battambang. Boat was maybe a little small for the 40 people travelling with us, so Kate and I headed for the roof to sit with the luggage. The boat was slightly top heavy and so a little unstable, but was reasonably comfortable. It was very scenic with lots of wildlife and floating villages, but the travel company had a little suprise for us: we'd be finishing the journey by road. Since it's the dry season, the river was too low for the boat. That would have been ok, if they had more than two pickup trucks.

We had 20 people in each pickup - myself and two others had to sit on the roof of the cab. Again, would have been fine, if there was a proper road!










We really love Cambodia though - the people here are very friendly and Angkor was incredible. We've just spent an hour editing our photos, we took far too many, but of course, they still don't do it justice!
