Mon 17/Tue 18th Nov, 2008

Departed Sydney International at 2215hrs, Monday 17th November, 2008. Flew via Brisbane, departed there 2359 Brissie time, 1am by our body clock. Landed BKK about 6am their time. Boarded next flight for Phnom Penh about 7.10am. 55 min flight BKK to PP. Arrived at Hotel Cambodiana @ 10.30 am (1430 back home). Room not ready, understandable. Walked to check out Foreign Correspondent’s Club on the river and ‘Friends’, training school/café for street kids.

Took tuk-tuk to Russian Markets with ‘T’, cost $3.00 US. Bought carved wooden statue for Trevor, $12US, pack of 10 cards for $4 from burns victim lady. DVDs 12 for $20 ($2 each, buy 5 get one free). 2 bottles water $1. Back to Cambodiana with ‘T’ who waited hour and half for us to come out of markets. Would have loved a swim, but pool closed!!

About 6pm, went to Friends for tapas dinner before first group meeting and welcome drink. Ate sweet potato fries, glass cellophane noodle salad,  mini tacos and chic curry. All very yummy. Welcome drink was actually group dinner, but we skipped it and went to bed. Slept very well….. very tired. Bed firm, pillow bit flat.

To Saigon

  Sat 22 nd Nov 2008 Woke about 6am to sounds of breakfast being set up. Tried to get back to sleep but no good. Our room was above the foyer, a double height ceiling. Packed up and bags out before breakfast. Met in foyer at 8.15. Rita not well so didn’t get to say goodbye. All the others came down to see us off. Adelle and John, Margaret and Barry, Sandra and Maz, and Kay. They made a guard of honour at the door. What a nice bunch. Meet up with the newbies tonight so that will be interesting. Currently sitting in Siem Riep Airport waiting for flight. A bunch of Aussie guys have arrived for same flight and are playing local version of hackysack. Bit noisy. Then, when they get bored with that, they start singing, falsetto, ‘Kiss From a Rose’, how funny are they? Talk to them on the way out to the plane, they are from Wollongong. Flight SR to HCM good except at the end, a few clouds had bumps in them. Sarah (from the other group) was feeling a bit seedy, but was before the flight ...

The temples of Angkor

  Fri 21 st Nov 2008 Awake before alarm went off @ 4.30. Had to be ready to leave @5am!! Quite a sight – row of tuk-tuks in the dark. Pre-dawn coolness nice at first, but did get a bit chilly. Arrived at Angkor Wat at dawn – so many people there already! Sunrise not too spectacular, but lovely view anyway. Amazing place, so big and so many intricate carvings and bas reliefs. Sat in a ‘restaurant’ to eat our breakfast box about 8.30, pretty crappy, but food. As long as we bought drinks, the owner didn’t mind us being there. Made it look busy I guess, or they had an arrangement with TIC. Little kids funny, all trying to sell something. Once they figured out where you were from, they would rattle off the country’s vital statistics. Keith bought from one little girl because she was the only one who knew Canada. Bought 2 packs of postcards to supplement the photos, $1 each. Next stop by tuk-tuk, the Bayon. Another amazing place, but for different reasons. More compact, but taller a...

Busy day

  Sun 23 rd Nov 2008 Breakfast good. Local guide ‘Long’, driver ‘Jack Brabham’!! Met at 8.30 for tour to Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral then out to Cu Chi Tunnels. Amazing how they lived. Some of the group went thru the tunnel – Ken too tall. Stopped at rubber plantation on way back in from Cu Chi. Lunch of Pho Gai (chic) at Pho 2000. With a 333 beer, total cost $5 US. Then on to Presidential Palace (Reunification Palace) for tour, very interesting and some furnishings very opulent. Thought we were going up to roof, but didn’t. Still haven’t been to the Rex Hotel yet….. After that to the War Remnants Museum – bit graphic but now I get the people here with deformities. Caused by Agent Orange and residue. Last stop, a lacquerware factory. I could care less!! Lot of work into producing so gotta appreciate that. Return to Hotel with storm clouds brewing. Lightning outside now, 5.45pm. Will have free internet access in Hoi An. That will be good. Off to the Mekong Delta tomor...
