To the border

After a break-neck tour of Cambodia with so many early starts the trip to the border was the earliest start of them all: 4.15am, in order to beat the heat.

We travelled in the back of pick-up trucks along rutted dirt roads to the border, watching the sun rise as we travelled east and saw rustic Cambodia slowly spring to life.

The border crossing was painless and suddenly we were in Thailand, mucky brown from all the dust mingled with sweat! The air-con vans to Bangkok were a blessing.

Time to get some serious shopping in, catch a film with waitress service in VIP seats and then we fly to Phuket tomorrow to soak up the sun and catch up on some much needed sleep.

See you all in a week!

This blog was really great when they were away doing stuff... it's kinda gone down hill since then. It's odd really cos I saw them last night and I can't imagine why they didn't rush home straight away to blog what a great time they had; give detail about the food and tell us how long it took to get back home etc.
