Finally got out of Thailand, very easy transition into Cambodia, finally found a customs point that knows what a carnet doc is!! We went to Angkor wat to see the temples and very nice they were too, we left Siam reap the nearest town to the site and headed off towards Laos, I spotted a short cut on the map which would of saved us about 300km if the road had not turned into a lake, as it happened it jus added 200km to our journey and cost us another night at a hotel, the same hotel we left that morning, they were glad to see us back though as the bar takings had plummeted.
We are now 120km south of the Laos border on the Mekong river at a place called Kratie, just checked into a backpackers for 6$ a night but we move on tomorrow, Cambodia topography is a bit boring, just rice fields and water really, we have been told there are some waterfalls on our next stretch so we,ll see, P n B

Hi both of you,
Are you missing Africa already? Anyway, nice to read you...Good luck.
Hey
great to read a bit more about your adventures. I am just back from Seville (42+ deg; not bad). Everyone was asking after you and sending their good wishes for your trip. My parents will be off to do a long South-America trip (not on bikes, though. Hehe) in October.
I can see that you have a growing number of fans :-)
All the best and take care.
Snogs.
