Hey Everyone,
I have just looked to see when our last post was and can't believe how long ago it was. Time is just going really quick for us now spacer .
Anyway, heading south in Thailand was rather uncomfortable seeing as we had to catch the sleeper bus which in truth is no more luxurious than your average national express coach back home and all in all, from Bangkok to Krabi it took approx 14 hours...
But as with everything, the destination makes it more than worthwhile. We started with a few nights at Railey (only accessable by boat) and ended up at Ko Phi Phi. It was paradise, the sun was hot, you needed sunglasses to look at the sand it was that white, the sea was warm and filled with the entire cast of Finding Nemo. We also spotted a sea snake while snorkling around the islands so we had to be a bit careful.
I am now writing from Phnom Penh in cambodia after a very sad day visiting the Genocide museum and killing fields and how a quarter of the population was wiped out by the .
Prior to that though we had a great time in Siam Reap visiting Angkor Wat at sun rise (far too early) and the Tomb Raider temple amongst others. That evening we then found out what happens when 4 early twenty somethings meet almost free alcohol. Well, it was about 3 pound fifty for 3 litres of beer. I won't go into too much detail, but I redecorated the hotels toilet floor. I'm pretty sure, Georges Toilet tiles received a similar covering - much to the annoyance of Rachel Wilkinson. Then there is Rachel Hales, its anyones guess what she got up to. She can't remember and neither could anyone else in our 15 member group. I don't think anyone remembers how they got home. I got a Tuk Tuk apparently. It made the 6 hour bus ride to Phnom Penh the next day extremely hard. But we all got through it and are our chirpy selves once again.
We now head into town for some tea......and cocktails (no beer just yet).

Hope everyone is okay.
Take care,
Olly

P.S. everyone was safe the night we got drunk, nothing was lost and there is no reason for anyone to worry. We are extremely responsible drunks.:s x
