Hi all, just a quick hello from Singapore airport. We've got 3 hours here before we fly off to Oz.
The bus trip yesterday wasn't 10 hours long - it was an excruciating 16 hours, most of which was on an extraordinarily bumpy road. Amazingly the road between Angkor (the biggest tourist resort in Cambodia) and Thailand is a dirt track, which we bounced up and down on for 10 hours at an average of about 10 mph. Agony! It's probably the first time on the trip that we've really felt that we've been in a Third World country. If any of you ever considering travelling from Cambodia to Bangkok by road, then don't! Whatever the cost of the flight, it's worth it....
Anyway, today seems to be going a lot more smoothly. In a few short hours we'll be touching down in Australia, which I'm really excited about. There is so much to do there I'm beginning to wonder if 3 months is long enough - I guess we'll have to save some things for another trip.
OK, better go now. Hope all's well with you. M&J x

Jealousssssssssssssss, need I say more!!!
Hi Mark and June
I am just back from Vietnam and Cambodia. Did Hanoi, Hue, Hoi An, Saigon and Siem Reap. (Missed Halong bay due to the cyclone!!). Been reading your blog with real interest but didn't log on when I was away. Shame really because we were in Angkor Wat on Friday 12th-15th so we may have overlapped by an evening? We were staying in one of the lovely 5 star hotels (as part of the tour). Had similar views to you on most of what we saw. Weather wasn't too good because of cyclone but had a lovely and fascinating time. Good luck with the next leg!
