I have been on va-cay as well, so I am way behind on your travels. I am still loving all your pictures and the on going commentary!
I'll be caught up with you soon:)
More Comments About Buildings And Food When I scrolled by what you had for lunch. How spicy is the food? Mild, medium, hot, 3-alarm? Also, I like the Colonial architecture. I wonder if they will eventually restore/renovate the buildings? Keep on trekkin' Gillian.
Trains, frogs and duck eggs.... Your tummy might not have felt too settled after 20+ hours on a ricketty train. You could have compared the journey to the trans-Siberian, but it wouldn't have been the same without me, anyway.
I love the photo of you on the tracks!
From Barbara Hi Gillian, It was interesting to read your itinerary, and see how it’s going. I guess you’ll be on your way to Battenburg soon. Count me as one of your readers to whom your trip is all very exotic.

Di: Kep roundabout Yes, Mani sent me this message too: "Gillian those two characters are from the epic Ramayana. I believe it is the monkey God Hanuman carrying Sita , Rama's wife to safety after rescuing her from Ravana. I think that is what it looks like to me."
Now it's pointed out to me I can see it, but the statues don't look to me like he is carrying her.
I loved the picture of the restaurant with the plane stuck inside! Re the Kep roundabout characters: they look like they're from the Indian epic Ramayana, where the monkey God Hanuman rescues Sita, wife of Rama from a demon king.
I concur Travel only to Sinoukville if you are desperate for the beach and for backpacker companions.
Did you see a sunset down there, mama??? I remember them being particularly spectacular.
What an adventure you are having!!! I'd be in a panic not knowing where to turn, but when all was said and done, I'd have loved every moment.
Take care...
to Azam Azam, m'dear. Glad you made it back from China in one piece ... hope the other two did too. Pity you couldn't stay for the Olympics lah. I'm watching de opening ceremony as I write this in Battambang.
Hello Hello Gillian! Love your stories, look fwd to reading more! Hope you're well, but we all know you're quite the soldier. I decided to leave China earlier than planned, but arrived in Brunei late on the Wednesday that you left! Nevermind, i know you're coming back here in october. Take care in your travels, lotsa love. p/s We were in Guiyang, Guizhou and Guang Zhou, which you'll be visiting soon. Enjoy!
A quickie........ By this time of the night I am getting pretty tired but I will continue to try and do at least one of your travel blog enties every evening.
Again, it was nice to see all the pics.
Counting the days until I am in SR.
to Guenter, Dick, Dave and Ray I spent all last night dreaming up witticisms to throw back at Guenter and Aek, but Dave got there in a nutshell! Tho, finding the train barely running today has made me feel just like she looks. Never mind, the buses are running on bumpy roads and I'll get to Siem Reap in the end. Dave: wish you were here!
The current travels........... Owwww.......... not the most aspicious start to your travels. I am sure though things will look up soon.
Look forward to seeing you.
