Hello once again! So after a nights rest from the rain - it didn't stop until early hours of the morning , we went on a trip to visit the killing fields and S-21 prison. Although Cambodia is safe country now, it was only free from the Khmer Rouge in 1998. I didn't really understand what had happened with regards to Pol Pot so this was a good opportunity to learn the history of Cambodia. Briefly for people who do not know who Pol Pot was he basically believed in communism and trained an army of children to take over the country and try to take the country to the basics of humanity, everyone was taken out of there houses and cities and were sent to work in the fields, the borders were closed and know ... read more

I was terrified to get on the plane but when I realised I had a whole row to myself I fell asleep for pretty much most of the journey, well it was also probably helped by theValium type tablets and vodka lemonades! The second flight from Mumbai to Thailand was horrible, But I arrived safely! First thing I noticed about Bangkok is the traffic, I thought Hayford hill in oxford was bad for traffic - I was very much mistaken, after an hour and a half taxi journey I finally arrived at my hotel - hooray! I wasn't allowed to check in until 2pm - great it was 8am and I had no way of having a shower or anything. I decided to make myself get out and explore the city - even if I was ... read more

Hi everyone !After arriving back in Cuzco we took the two days easy. Sadly on the first day I was still ill so ended up back in the hotel on my own. About 5 I decided to get a Starbucks and McDonald's with the others to try ad make myself feel better ! The day after I was determined to get out and do something as we had time to kill until 7.30. I went to the inca museaum. There were lots and lots of pots there - that's enough pots for me this holiday I think! They also had some of the mummys which had been preserved, scary but very interesting and couldnt believe they survived so long without just breaking! I took some sneaky pictures so you could see ;) after a 10 hour ... read more

We finally got to the boarder and we were told it could be up to a couple of hours and after arguing with the man in the resultresultant that my card does work I was not looking forward to standing around for 2 hours! Butttt it seems luck was on my side and I walked in they stamped - didn't even check my picturbrand walked straight back out - awwwww a big sigh of relief! We finally arrived in puno. From the outside it looked like uyuni - a crap hole, but after an even meal here seemed ... read more

Hello everyone! We had about 3 days in sucre. We started our second day by walking round the city. We popped in to the local free museaum which had an exhibition of Bolivian mask , very intresting and amazing how stunninof some of thesemasks were. When we got back to the hotel my tour leader Carolina knocked and said she had a delivery for me. It was a white rose and I later found out it was suppose to be from the receptionist! We went quad bikacted for the day. I was expecting it to be round a dirt track however we went round the countryside n cliff edges and mountins for 3 hours! Was a bit scary at first as I kept thinking I was going to go of the edge because I couldn't steer ... read more
