Doing the first day of the temple tour. Getting up at 5:00am. Starting with sunrise at Ankor Wat (was no real sunrise). After that we went seeing Ankor Thom with Bayon, Baphuon, Phimeanakas and the Terraces of the Elephants and the Leper King. Next we passed the Victory Gate, Thommanom and Te Keo. After that the famous Ta Prohm, my favourite temple who is swallowed by the jungle and here they made some scenes of the movie “Tomb Raider”. Finally we visited Banteay Kdei.

Finally the bus arrived around midday at Siem Riep. Jenny and I share a room what is lots better then the room of the last night. We went for watching the sunset at Phnom Bakheng. We got a three day trip with tuk tuk for $25 for each of us. First sunset is free but was disappointing. Lots of people, no good photos and I had seen better sunsets. Read the rest of this entry »

We left Don Det at the 4000 islands at 8:00am. Then we took a horrible bus for too many people to the border in the woods. Had to pay an extra dollar for the customs. Next minivan brought us to from the border to a ferry and after that we changed again. That bus broke on the way. And not even that, we also drove over a pig!!! The driver didn’t care he drove like hell. The pig was dead. Lucky that we made it after 13hours halfway to Siem Riep. We slept in the most disgusting place ever with ants and cockroaches in Kompong Cham. Read the rest of this entry »

After having breakfast somewhere Jenny and me got stomach pain and had to run on the toilet. I took some pills and a little bit rice wine and it got better. At noon I was swimming back to the fullmoon party place and in the late afternoon we did a sunset trip for 20000kip. Was alright but not worth it. Read the rest of this entry »

Today Jenny and me changed early in the morning the accommodation for a cheaper and better one. Then we caught up with the German Arno and the two other Finn guys for doing a little bike tour around the islands to the waterfall and a beach on Don Khong. From the beach we did a tour to watch the rare Hirrawadie dolphins. And we saw some but unfortunately far away. In the evening we all went for 50000kip to a sort of fullmoon party with food. Was a big rip off. Food didn’t taste good. In the end the lady who organized the party had a loud argument with a Laos guy. Read the rest of this entry »

Jost left in the morning. We had a last breakfast at the scandinavian bakery. After checking out at the Riverside Hotel i was walking around and being in the internet for ages. In the evening the pick up to the bus was supposed to pick me up at 7:pm but it arrived at 8:00pm where the bus was normally supposed to leave. I met a finn girl, Jenny who has the same plans as me, maybe we can travel together for a while.
