Firstly I appologise for not updating everyone sooner.u know what I'm like lol! Since arriving 2 weeks ago me and steph have been so busy and loving every minute of it.
Crossing the border into Cambodia was pretty hectic.we both witnessed a pick pocket stealing a phone from someones bag.from then on we knew that we had to make sure we were safe with all our bags.after crossing the border at poipot we made our way to siem reap.this was my favourite place in Cambodia.when we arrived at our hotel they welcomed us with cold towels and orange juice.we felt like royalty :)
we have been really lucky with the hotels we have stays at.we have both had a double bed each.
The first evening in siem reap we went to a place called new hope,a foundation that has been set up 2educate children. The children that go to new hope live in slums and are very poor so most of them couldn't read or write before.
We went there on tuk Tuks.was the funniest journey as it was down a dirt track an the tuk tuks were going all over the place was difficult to stay in lol! We met the children and went in the class which was so amazing.we then had a traditional dinner cooked for us. One of the courses consisted of crickets and snake mmmm!!!
We also visited Angkor temples in siem reap.we got up really early 2 see the sunrise but we never actually saw it coz it was cloudy hehe! We will be putting photos up soon so u can see the 1000s of pics that were taken there.
We also went to the night Market,it was filled with pretty much everything.we also had a doc fsh massage which is where tiny lil fish nibble on ur toes and eat ur dead skin.pretty sick but was really good for our feet, I also had a whole body massage,I was swung round like a rag doll lol! I felt so good after it though.
Not only have we eaten crickets and snake but we also tried tarrantula.walking back from the Market some man asked us if we wanted to try some and we both thought why not :)
after siem reap we heads to phonm Penn the capital of Cambodia.there we went to s21 prison and the killing fields.that was quite a shocking day,seeing how millions of people were tortured and killed.we saw the mass graves and there is still clothes and bones coming ups from the ground when it rains and washes the top layer of soil away.it was awlful what happen and even the people of Cambodia still don't know why it happened.
Me and steph also tried to visit the royal palace in phonm Penn.when we left our hotel it was raining slightly,we thought it would stop but it didn't for about 30mins.by the time ut stopped we were knee deep in rain water and trying to make our way back to the hotel.was the funniestexperinces I have ever had.
The last stop in Cambodia was sihanoukville.on the bus journey there steph ha here iPhone stolen.have no idea how ut happened.very sneaky!! She also got btten by ants as she was stood on an ants nest when we stopped for a loo break.
The first thing we did after we checked into the hotel was go to the beach.I saw a jelly fish in the sea so didn't go in lol! Such a wimp!!
We had the best meal on the beach in the eve and we also had buckets of vodka lemonade and lime.they were very stony lol! After dinner we went to a uv club and painted ourselves with paint.was such a good night.pics of that will be up soon aswell.
We are now in Vietnam but will update u about that very soon. We are both loving every minute.
Missing everyone lots
