Hello everybody its Dunkley :) we are now in Vietnam and its really nice but again a little crazy! There are so many motorbikes here you have to be soooooo careful when you cross the road otherwise you probably will get killed! Our accommodation again is really nice - not what we were expecting from the tour, we have free internet access and a free breakfast buffet (always good). Anyway before we got here we obviously left Cambodia! After travelling from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh we arrived to be greeted by loads of tuk tuk drivers it was literally mental! After settling into our accomodation, we all went out our first night for pre drinks in a nice bar called FCC and then to a restaurant called 'Friends' which was a charity restuarant to help street children. The food was lovely and my strawberry and passionfruit Daquiri was amazing! Charlotte had some banana and chocolate springrolls with icecream which were very yummy.

The next day in Phnom Penh was a early start as we headed to the Killing Field and the Prison. It was definatley an experience we will not forget as it was not what we were expecting. However we learnt alot about Cambodian history and Pol Pots Regime - I think both of us want to read some books to get a better understanding as I am still a little confused. After, we headed back to the hotel we had a little rest which turned into a well needed nap! When we woke up we headed to the shop to fill out bellies! When we returned we discovered that Star Dust was on tele so we made out dinner which consisted of brown sesame bread with laughing cow cheese topped with pizza favour pringles :) it was honestly delicious! We also brought cheese and yogurt for breakie!

The next day again was a early start as we head off to cross the border to reach Vietnam. Crossing the border which was relatively easy compared to enterting Cambodia - we just had to hand our passports in and let the bus company do the work :) After a 6 hour journey watching Rush hour and Fantastic Four we fianlly arrived in Ho Chi Minh City.

Anywho better be off this has taken about an hour to write! lots of love byyyeee xxxx
