Cambodia Day 24

So today is my second last day in Cambodia, which will mainly be taken up with a bus ride this afternoon.

So i belive i left you just before i went out with my new friends last night - well the night continued well into the day - To start with our group had a few more drinks and some nibbles on our roof top bar, this time i was sitting next to Chris ( the other twin to whom i had met) and we soon found we had a very similar sense of humour, and continued to chat for the entire evening. After a while we walked into the main street of siem reap... for a while we just wondered and tried out a couple of places even a couple of further afield local places, but couldn't really find anything that pleased everyone. We stopped at a couple of places for a drink each, but none of the seemed to have the right vibe. Eventually we settle on 'Angkor What?' the oldest bar in the Siem Reap, after some more drinks and some more talking we wondered back to the accomdation and had genereal chill out for a while. But then Mika ( an awsome chick from Holland - like such an amazing girl) was keen to go back to the maion drag for a) some food and b) a dance so the twins, mika and myself headed back. We found some pizza and it tasted delicoius ( by this time it was 2.30) and then went for some more drinking and found some spice girls playing to dance to. Finally we headed back after a lovely night, very happy but tired - i feel into bed at 3.40 - which is pretty darn good effort for me!!!

It was so nice hanging out with these people hearing their stories, and what they did with selves. The twins for example work 3 months hard and live at their mums, then travel for 3-6 months with the money. They then write articles, book, website and have photography collection all based on their travel! They were all so complimentary of me to - Simon kept exclaiming "I am so glad I meet you, you are the perfect new edition to our group" which is alway nice for someone to say - and they all wanted me to change my flight so i could stay and party with them for new years.

So then at 4.40 my tuk tuk man alarm clock woke me up ( thats right only 1hr sleep!) to go to Ankgor Wat for sunrise. So we were the first ones their and it was pitch black and i was cold and tired and thinking this was not a good idea. Eventually the hordes of tourists pilled out of their buses, cars, tuk tuks and what seem like every mode of transport possible. So i followed their torches into the temple. Believe it or not i promptly found myself a seat and fell asleep and when i next opened my eye the sun had come up!!! How friken Stef is that!!

Since then i have returned to the accom, got a couple more hours sleep, had a shower, packed my bags and I am just killing time until my bus. none of my new found friends are awake yet... as they are sensible, and also don't have a bus ride that they can sleep on.

I think this has been the first time on this trip that i have really had a ''real'' travel moment, and the kind of experience, thats makes you just want to say, where are you going, all right i will come to! - Chris and I have already decided India end of 2010, although i am not sure where that fits in with their plans for me to shift over to the UK!!

Well i might right one more blog tomorrow - but who knows - but as my trip comes to an end - i am both sad to leave and happy to go home - and shall see you all soon.
