Relaxing by the pool
10 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F

I'm on a bus to Siem Reap, the location of Angkor Wat (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat). I'm planning to stay for just a couple of days, which should be plenty of time to see the temple andЧитать далее

Waterfall and phallic symbols
13 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
Today began at 0730 (why do I do this to myself?). Our first stop on the tour was the river of a thousand Lingas. Shiva lingas are a Hindu representation of the joining of male and female. The male isЧитать далее

Lazy day
16 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F
Uneventful day yesterday. Van ride was nicely air conditioned. My hostel, however, is not. I'm still in my upper bunk on the fourth floor and am sweating through my clothes. I guess I'll get moving,Читать далее
TV and Air Con
17 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 90 °F

Thanks to my awesome friend Dano, thisЧитать далее
Sick Day
18 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ 🌧 82 °F
So much for my Saturday night plans with the Phnom Penh Hashers at their annual awards banquet. I'm sick with a bad cough and really sore throat. Robitussin and amoxicillin should clear it up in aЧитать далее

19 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I am still sick, but planning on going to today's hash at 2 pm. My head is pretty stopped up, so I won't be running. No selfie today. Same one applies from yesterday: Robitussin and amoxicillin.

Feeling like crap in Kampot
20 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
I took a 5-hour van ride at 0700 this morning to Kampot, a river town near the Cambodian coast. I didn't sleep very much last night because of the coughing, so I was out before we left Phnom Penh. IЧитать далее
Nope
21 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
Today is a nope day. Nope, I'm not leaving the hostel unless it's on fire. Nope, I'm not getting out of bed except for the bathroom (down the hall) and food (downstairs). I booked an extra night hereЧитать далее
One more day
22 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I didn't sleep well, but I feel a bit better today and I believe the cough is sounding better. I'm still sticking to the hostel today. I may walk a few buildings down the street for a burrito thisЧитать далее
Up and at 'em!
23 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ 🌧 86 °F
I'm back to the tourist bit today. I could've stayed in bed all day again--no, Mom, I never grew out of that--but forced myself up, got some breakfast, and hit the road on the motorbike around 9 am.Читать далее
Another Day in Kampot
24 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F

Kampot is growing on me
25 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
Well, I'm still in Kampot and will be here until Monday. I can't believe I'm staying in such crappy little place for so long, but it's kind of cool in its own way.
Last night, I went to a placeЧитать далее
Near death by bridge
26 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F
I had soooo much fun last night. Two fellow guests at the hostel and I went on a river cruise. The water is very high, so when they say duck, they mean it. Lol. Then we took a tuktuk upriver to aЧитать далее
Heading to Otres Beach
27 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
I'm on my way to Otres Beach on the southwest coast. The video is the highway, the only highway. There is no sleeping on this ride. But it's only about two hours, so--provided I don't smash my headЧитать далее
It's a small world after all
28 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
This is why I love wearing hash shirts when traveling. I arrived in Otres Beach, Cambodia, a place I've never been before. The very first bar I stopped at said there was a hasher bar down the street.Читать далее

I took a walk on the beach today and had quite a chuckle at the little shellfish in the surf and the little crabs filtering food from the sand, which winds up in tiny balls. I actually saw these crabsЧитать далее
Back to Phnom Penh
31 августа 2018 г., Камбоджа ⋅ ⛅ 88 °F
As predicted, I'm in a van heading back to Phnom Penh. About an hour ago, we drove past a massive palm oil farm. There must have been thousands of palm trees of which many of their trunks were coveredЧитать далее

The Hash was terrific, despite a monsoon rolling in on us. We were soaked but laughing the whole time. Afterwards, we went to a restaurant. The Khmer ladies ordered for the table and the food turnedЧитать далее
