Would love to go back in Winter as it looks like it would be magical! by the way the french keyboard is whack, so am typing like tim :) letters in the wrong places! was so great to spend time with shan, so glad he is enjoying his time, but sux he lives so far away! and they werent joking when they said how expensive this place is, 7 dollar cokes... crazy! thanks to julie and shan for their a,azing hospitality, loved getting to know julie more, shan is a lucky man! went to oslo, it was raining, so didn,t quite get to see everything. called in at the nobel peace prize centre and saw the balcony where all the winners come out and ... read more

Don´t have too much time to write, as your pay for every 15mins! So.... we had a great last day in London, visited Lords Cricket ground.... but have so moved on from London, how can you not when you are greeted with Spain! Sun, sand, miles of coast, castles, clear blue water, beautiful city, and boobies everywhere!! Definetly a liberated country, feel very conservative in a bikini...... This place is amazing. Last night we went down to the beach, live band playing, water was luke warm ;). Today was 33degrees, crazy hot! We explored Barcelona, as we hired a car. Such an incredible city, so much to see, and so clean. You could explore for days here. We would just drive and find incredible things. Saw this castle/church on a hill, so we drove up and ... read more

Well London, if you call this summer i'm not impressed....!! Having a great time hanging out with Andrew & Julia. They have a cool 'terraced' house, flating with another couple and 2 sisters. Friday we went for a wander into town and checked out this one street with all the music stores. Poured with rain, so took refuge i in a small baguette shope and had lunch. Went to the soho comedy club that night, brillant :) It was a small place, like a quirky old pub, and there were 5 comedians and the host. The host was a crack up, and there were 2 comedians who were brillant. Thought about writing a couple of their jokes here, but just wouldn't come across very well, and probably very offensive and un PC :). But they were ... read more

We woke up so completely wasted today after yesterdays temple adventures. Think a mix of so much walking, and up so many intense ancient steep steps, and the burning sun, we were drained as. Lucky today we don't have to walk far, and will be out of the sun. i will post a photo of tims sunburn, its mean as - his thighs don't see the sun to often :) just to mention, the breakfasts here are amazing!! one of the best meals of the day, so huge and filling! Anyway.... today we visited a silkworm farm, and it was so interesting! i will post the photos soon. But they breed heaps of silk worms, and they grow the mulberry tree which the worms eat. The munch on that for quite a few days until they ... read more

What a day! From snakes, huge arse spider, dancing elephants, really bad sunburn, covered in mud, nearly killing a small child, 1m from a Tiger & watching a storm roll in over a lake while lying in a hammock, one of our best days yet! Today was our day with Blazing Trails, a couple of guys who run a 4wd tour into rural cambodia, an absolute must for anyone coming to Phnom Penh, amazing. It was just Tim and i with our guide and a mechanic :) - nice to know. Our guide was great, he was 7 when he left Cambodia, just as the war was breaking out, and they moved to france. He has a business in france, but has now returned to cambodia. The morning was burning hot, and we didn't really put ... read more
