Just to clear up the pepper problem, the plantation we went to was a peppercorn plantation not sweet peppers, on the vines were green peppercorns that would be harvested April/March if they are picked off the plant when green and dried they will be green peppercorns, if they are picked red or black and dried they will be red or black, if you want white pepper you pick them when they are red and peel the skin off you get white pepper, the most expensive. Red pepper was the sweetest. The Motos can be hired for yourself to drive at $4/day (app 2pounds 64p) or we can hire one each with a driver and we go on the back.
Chris I am uploading all my photos on to photo bucket each time we have moved on and then clearing the card, Jamie is then saving them for us just in case, these are full size, so thanks but I think weve got it covered. Cheers love Mick and Julie

I never thought pepper plants were that big - you learn something every day! Crazily snowy here - we had about 6 inches in 6 hours yesterday, but it seems to be melting now. Sounds much more calm in Cambodia, can't stop thinking about that awful regime they had there twenty or so years ago. Keep the photos coming and hoe you are enjoying yourselves.
