Took a bit, but we got here

It all started with a combination of realising in Dubai that Kylie’s passport had a small tear in the corner and the slow processing of our Vietnamese Visa requests.
The only advice we could get was that we needed to head to the airport to see if the airline would take us but even then, we could have been sent back once in Vietnam.

So, one torn passport,
Four late Visa’s,
Two day public holiday in Vietnam (so no consulate to talk to),
An agenda change,
One wrong button clicked on a webpage (don’t ask 😳), and
Two stop overs later, we made it…eventually!

It took some deft manoeuvring by Kylie on Booking.com and Gmail but we did manage to get around all this and make it to Cambodia.

Yep, Cambodia not Vietnam…ya gotta role with the punches on the big jobs 😅🤣

It did give us a great excuse to go back to the flash resort in Dubai to get more freebies while we waited for our replacement flight though 😝
Dale was happy because he got to check out the gym there too 🙄

What it did mean is that 14hrs later there were 4 very weary travellers that were great full for the really lovely hotel we walked into in Phnom Pehn.
So we rested up that day and headed out at night for a look around and a bite to eat at little local noodle joint.
After months of meat inspired Greek/Turkish food, it was good to be trying curries, rice, spring rolls, and noodles for change 😋🍜🍛
…and of course $2 beers!Read more
