Bprum bpee....seven....7 weeks !!! I cannot believe I’ve been in P.P. that long. It’s gone so fast, but I also feel like I’ve been here for so much longer. I’ve done and seen SO much.

Already about 1.5kms into the walk, and we saw how far we still had to go...

What a trooper
I'm loving your photos and great to see one of you too. You're looking happy and healthy and you must be after such a trek in the sun and up stairs. Funny how there can be such beauty in a place as well as tragic sights like slums etc. Good that you've mentioned to the kids that you're leaving soon so they can get their head around it. Won't make it any easier but at least they won't be totally shocked on the day. It has gone fast hasn't it?! I hate the sound of all that corruption though. Would scare me silly. What would be the likelihood that you would return to Cambodia after the rest of your overseas trip? Could you get some formal teaching qualification and return to work at the same school? The monks and other teachers seem to be very impressed with you so I'm sure they'd be happy to have you back. Maybe the Project people could help you sus it out. Must away. It's 7 degrees this morning in Cheddar Gorge which is warmer then we thought it was going to be. I slept with thermals on last night. Are you sweating just reading that :) Take care, keep having fun, make the most of your last 2 weeks and stay safe. Hugs and kisses. Sylvi xo
