Cambodia

i have arrived in Cambodia after a very long trip through the Meekong Delta, which is really nice we travelled a lot on boats and saw lots of little islands, stoppin off for lunches and bike rides, where Nat had a spectacula fall off her bike (only her!) and nearly went head first into the river.
Arriving in Cambodia was an experience, I had my hair plaited at the border but then had about 8 kids all wanting a dollar for it. We had a terrible bus journey for the last hour on soem dirt tracks of roads. We checked into a grotty hotel which we have changed twice today and now have a very nice hotel. We are learning the bargening process slowly.
We hard a nice pair of motobike drivers last nice so we hired them for the day and have seen the whole of the city, which was good. Tommorrow we are goiung to chill out then head down to the beach area for a rest before off to Ankor Wat then Laos (yes Andrew it didnt take long to convince James), to see the the sights there and go inner tubing down the river (sitting in as big ring and floating along, aparently if you want to stop for a drink or food the bars all down the banks hold out bamboo poles and they pull you in.
We saw the killing fields today and the S21 prision, not very nice and pretty graphic, theres nothing like seeing over 8000 skulls in a pile to put a downer on things. But it is important to learn about what the Cambodians have been through.
I worked out hoe to put photos on, so heres me in the Meekong.
