More PP

It's been ages since I wrote the last entry and I'm not even sure I will be able to remember everything that has happened since! Wow, it's been over two weeks now, but we had lots going on ...

Right, while in Phnom Penh, we managed to look around a bit and get a feel for the city. It's quite big and busy and congested and dirty. We weren't too taken with our accommodation, but we knew it wasn't going to be for long, so it didn't really matter, esp as we had a nice time in Siem Reap. We stayed in this guesthouse by the lake, which sounds really nice but is basically an excuse for everyone to throw their rubbish in there. It's picturesque in the sunset but not really anytime else!

PP is OK, I didn't mind it, but it's not really all that nice in my opinion. I think we could have spent longer in Cambodia, but I think we are kind of ready for new adventures now, which is why it seems like Vietnam would be more exciting. Also, after Laos, Cambodia seems a bit of a let down as it's more expensive and the people are quite different.

So after Sarah left, Tom made his way over, as he had been able to fit Vietnam into his itinerary to surprise Matt with us in Ho Chi Minh City for New Year. We did some exploring in PP and then said goodbye to Cambodia, because Vietnam's calling.
