Theo and Grace Adventures..

Hello Hello! We are back in Phnom Penh. We took a bus back yesterday..$7 for a 5 hour trip:-) Had to return as we are flying out of here to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow! I actually don't dislike this city as much as I thought..we are staying in the heart of the city, so it's more friendly with nice cafes. It's growing on me! Especially after our outings today (see below). Very excited to explore Vietnam though! We have 29 days left in South East Asia. Tonight we went to a local cinema. A very cute, community owned, small theatre. We saw the film 'Room'. Great film if you haven't already seen it. The main actress just won an Oscar award for it. They had mattresses to lay down on, or cute seats above. You could order drinks and food also. We also visited the Russian Markets today.They were massive. They have a range of clothing, jewellery, bedding, household things,mechanical stores and fruits & veges.  Well that's about all for the moment. Will post once we ...

We're back from Koh Ta Kiev Island! What a beautiful place. The last few days have been perfect. So relaxing, just what we needed after some pretty crazy cities that we have been visiting recently. We departed for our day trip on a boat from Otres Beach on Tuesday and that took us snorkelling around a couple of the surrounding islands. We visited elephant rock for some cliff diving..(Theo jumped but not I!) Spot the cliff diver! Then we headed for Koh Ta Kiev where the other people on the boat were just visiting for a few hours and then going back to the mainland, whereas we decided to stay. The tour guide spoke very little English so it was impossible explaining to him where we wanted to be dropped off (especially because we didn't know where it was exactly!) so he ended up stopping the boat and we had to get off right there. We had to carry our 18kg bags on our heads to get them on and off the boat dry Where are we??? !! We discovered that people br...

Hello all :-) Just a post to let you know we may be out of reception the next few days. We are heading to an island called Koh Ta Kiev . We are pretty sure they don't have reception or Internet. We think we will be staying at accommodation called Crusoe Island.So, if contact is needed urgently, look them up (crusoeisland.asia) and they have a couple of numbers and email available. Love to you all xxx  The picture below is one of the lady's that walk around the beach with fruit on their heads. They cut it up and put it in a little bag with a skewer for you :-) mmmmmm

Hi all!! Well we arrived in Phnom Penh the capital of Cambodia on Wednesday night. Phnom Penh was chaotic,polluted, hot, and two words: bed bugs. We got out of there pretty quickly! But before we did we made sure we visited the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields. Both of which were heart wrenching and profoundly depressing experiences. But, nevertheless it was interesting and gives an understanding of the country after going. I will leave it at that as I wouldn't be able to write down the horrible details of what happened then in the 1970's. Bracelets left in honour of the victims  Cambodia is very different to Thailand. They pay in US dollars and drive on the right side of the road. Cambodian Riel is only used mostly by locals. So we have a range of US $$ and Cambodian Riel. We hopped on a very comfortable, air conditioned mini bus to Sihanoukville for $10 each. Sihanoukville suits us much better. A province known for its beaches and bars. We like it here! The a...
