back to thailand

Dear travel journal,
Talk about mammoth travel day - 11hrs!!! We got up and had breaky at the hotel before jumping into a minibus and heading to the boarder. About an hour out the aircon belt came off because something was broken apparently. So we stopped at a road side cafe and had a break. We walked around a bit, got food, used the loo and waited for a new bus. The new one we got was a coach so we all got to spread out for a bit which was nice. Then we got off at he border. There was another intrepid guide with us who was picking up a group in bangkok tomorrow and he put our bags on a trolley and took them over the border for us while we went through the cambodian exit and then walked the 1km to the thailand border entry point. The cambodian side was quick and easy, the line on the thailand side was huge and it took us just over an hour to get through. Then down the ramps out of the buildling and up the road to 2 minivans. In the vans we got and headed off to bangkok stopping for lunch and arriving about 7pm. We checked back in to astera hotel and at 7.30pm met in the lobby to head out to dinnet after saying good to roxana and yve as their flight was tonight. We went to dinner at the sane place we did the very first night of the tour, except this time we had a private room and a much bigger group. Dinner was quite nice and then we headed back to the hotel where i made everyone have photos with me and i said my goodbyes. Then headed to my room and got sorted and went to bed. Im up at 3.30am, its already 10.30pm and i cant sleep - tomorrow is going to be tough....Read more
