                    <description>We left the Okovango on an 8 seater plane bound for Kasane and then onto Chobe national park and the Chobe Safari Lodge on the 27th July. Flight was great with amazing views. When we got to Chobe Safari Lodge we were greeted by some very grumpy receptionists and we thought that this was just a one of thing but we were wrong. We then went to the activities centre to organise our trips and they we</description>

                    <description>Day 2 We headed out in the orning for our first game walk to say we were nervous is an understatement We pulled the boat up to on Chiefs island and got the talk on how to behave when you are walking out where wild animals are. The main thing to do is not RUN or you are seen as food. Not a great time to find out whether you have the flight or fight instinct. I cant begin to explain the feel</description>

                    <description>It took about 40 seconds to go through customs at Maun airport  the gateway to the Okavango where everything is low tech. Time to turn the cellphones off and say goodbye to city life as we know it as we hoped on our little little plane. Just enough seats for Ella and I and the pilot but great views of the delta as we flew over the lower reaches of the waterways. No horizon just blue haze coming o</description>

                    <description>Well we have been in Siem Reap for two days now very small town but I am sure that if we were to come back in five years it would be a different story. There are new hotels been built all over the place and there will be no shortage of guests to fill them.The temples around here are amazingstunning and beautiful in a kind of very old way.

                    <description>We have spent the last two days just walking around District 1 and we are very good at crossing the road without been ran over. Although we have found it much easier to deal with traffic here than in Ha Noi. The cool thing here is that they have these people in green uniforms that are Tourist security guys and they help you cross the road if it is too busy or they think you may not survive the cr</description>

Reminds us a little of all the churches you see when in Europe lol. We had lunch at this absolutely devine restaurant called the King. Was a little of the tourist track but very nice. The service was basically silver service and I lost count as </description>
