Well after the trauma of Wheelers accommodation in KL we almost kissed 'Wann' on arrival (the proprietor) at the Golden Mango, Siem Reap. Picked up in a tuk-tuk (moped attached to a small cart with a roof basically) by a bloke called 'Lion', the welcome was just what the doctor ordered. The staff, hospitality, rooms and food were fantastic - best so far. All for GBP 7 a night between us!! We loved... Read Full Entry

Day 2 and we are flagging. Another temple with a large lake within it. Can't remember the name. V nice though.

Enjoying fresh coconuts on our way around the temples.

When the coconut milk was finished you used the top/lid of the coconut itself to eat the fruit inside. Tasty.

Photo of.....? The camera battery died shortly after this, so did our enthusiasm. Officially Templed Out.

Hey Homie G and Daz, sounds like an AMAZING time that you're having. Bet you're not looking back at all!!! We went to Langkawi on honeymoon but we were probably lying on the 5* loungers asking the staff to get rid of the scruffs that were blagging them and bringing down the tone of the place!!! Love your photos too. The ones of the orphans brought a tear to my eye - no, seriously - but you know that I cry at everything! Keep them up - I'm learning lots from you! Big hugs and kisses xxx
