Riding along on my pushbike, honey.
Day 16: Marble Mountain + Hoi An on a bicycle.
Today we woke up super early to go to Marble mountain. Our hotel had an awesome buffet breakfast so we ate lots of that first then headed out in our car. The driver that took us there flipped out this sweet dvd player in the car, but then proceeded to play euro trash rave music accompanied by unsynced video clips of it. Blerggh. Luckily it was only...
Vinpearl!!
Day 14: Vinpearl land
Vinpearl yaaaay! Brendan told us about this one! It’s a big island across the ocean from Nha Trang called Vinpearl (also a chain of hotels). The worlds (or Asia’s at least) longest cable car takes you across the water to the island where you will find an amusement park and a water park. So great!! Only $15 for everything! It’s no Dreamworld but we did go...
Mud bath. Like pigs.
Day 13: Nha Trang! Mud.
We arrived in Nha Trang this morning and set off walking towards our hotel. We soon realised that the map was wrong as our hotel was not there. (There was a similarly named museum though!) So we got a taxi to our hotel and got organised, made friends with the reception girl, and went to the beach! The waves were really strong… Like super strong current so we didnt...

Day 9: Exploring Phnom Penh
This morning Dave came out with us and he showed us this awesome bagel place for breakfast and they were sooooo good. We had cream cheese and sundried tomato. So phnom.
We went back to the riverside to get a letter from the bus company that croutons phone got stolen from, for travel insurance. And after much explaining and waiting we met with the owner of the...
When Communism goes too far.
Day 8: Genocide
It was so nice to sleep in this morning, we ended up leaving the house at about 11 and walked to the S-21 Genocide museum. We left Dave behind as he has been quite sick and thought maybe if he rested today he could come with us tomorrow.
It was only about a 15 minute walk and easy to find. Another hot day in Cambodia meant our morning showers had already almost lost their purpose...
Facebook isn't working, but we are in Vietnam!
So just e-mail us.
Kthx!
Waaah
Day 7: Sicky island
So I didnt end up getting any sleep. I was up all night, vomitting almost every half hour. Blahh! By the time we were meant to be up getting ready for our boat trip I really thought I wasnt going to be able to go… I was so tired and still felt so sick.
I managed to take some sicky pills and keep them down and a few bites of bread and thought that I would regret it if I...

Day 6- Po Po
So we arrived this morning to Sihanoukville with no phone of Croutons so after a shower at the hostel we were staying at and gooling what we needed for travel insurance, we walked back to the bus station to try and get a letter from the bus company. Of course, no one spoke English (besides what they needed to know to sell a bus ticket) so we were there trying to explain for like 10 minutes before...
