Share as we celebrate life with three kids, disability and our love of travel and adventure.
From 38 degrees to 8 degrees we are back home.
Here is the last place we visited on our Cambodia trip.
We did have a few days later in Singapore and KL but for now we are home watching the last of the Autumn leaves fall and trying desperately to find warm clothes!
Hope you enjoy sharing our little adventure.
We spent a week on the beach in Sihanoukville and are now back in Phnom Penh for the night and off to Siem Reap tomorrow on a seven hour bus trip.
Hope you enjoy our little movie about our beach getaway.
We have been in Cambodia for six days and are currently relaxing down on the coast in Sihanoukville. This is a five hour bus trip from the capital. The water in the Gulf of Thailand is clear and warm and the sun is hot. The food is cheap and good and it has a rustic beach feel similar to how Thailand was when I backpacked in my youth. Beer is 50c and a massage on the beach is $5. Once you start to talk to the locals you realise there is more to Sihanoukville and it's residents than what the young backpackers think as they board the party boat in the distance.
Prior to our beach getaway we spent three days in Phnom Penh, Cambodias capital. Enjoy this little memory of ours.
Yes I was looking at the backpackers wondering who was wearing sunscreen? Or a hat or shoes! I also wondered about life jackets and who would vomit after their 50c shot when they first got on that boat! They had been drinking behind us most of the morning already......
Andrew just looked at the boat wishing he was on it........
I officially think like a Mum and an old 37 year old today......Off to the beach for my birthday dinner.
About a year ago, AirAsia had a big Sale. It was one of those sales that start at 3am and you stare at your screen trying to secure flights from Melbourne to KL at the cheapest possible bargain. I am not sure why I love these sales so much! I think it's the thrill of getting a bargain flight and then the year to plan a trip onward from KL. I secured return flights for the five of us for $1150.
We were not sure whether we would be able to use the flights but as it turns out our other plans have been delayed and we get to travel for a much needed adventure. We booked our onward flights last week and we are heading back to Cambodia. It will give us an opportunity to explore the capital of Cambodia ( Phnom Penh) and the coast ( Sihanoukville) as well as heading back to Siem Reap to see Coopers kinder. We have three weeks to explore and are all very excited. It's low season but hot hot hot!
We leave next week on a midnight flight.
We also have the opportunity to pop down to Singapore to visit friends and spend a few nights in KL too.
We have been busy planning and researching and trying to discover new places to visit as we head back to Cambodia. We have been in contact with Coopers kinder and are so excited to see the kids again and to see the new buildings and restaurant New Hope has developed.
I am busy packing and trying to ward off the coughs and colds that have been hanging around the last fortnight at our place.
And just in case you wondered where Peppers little movie was. Here it is.
