On the flight from Phnom Phen to Seam Reap Irene decided to hand out the newspapers and suggest that people fastened their seatbelts. The pursar asked if she had been former cabin crew? Irene being Irene said "yes". "FIFTY years ago?" he asked. He then gave her a pressy of a pack of playing cards with the Bangkok Airways logo on it....

Enjoying the chaos of Bangkok. Had the best value taxi ride last night as we headed off to meet up with our fellow travellers. It took us an hour and forty minutes to get to their hotel -thankfully I had negotiated a FIXED price for the journey of THREE pounds!!! It had taken only forty mins from Seam Reap in Cambodia to Bangkok!
We enjoyed a lovely evening - dinner with lots of promises to keep in touch. Then on to a bar on Kosan Road... how young-at-heart are we????? Young man even sent a rose to me at my table. I thought "it's been a while". Think he was wanting to give some custom to flower-seller.
Enjoying the delights of the hospitality of Executive Lounge, Holiday Inn right now (thank you, Colin). Will focus on photos this evening as the typing might be a littleeee offfffffffffffff.

Now in Bangkok in relative splendour of Holiday Inn. Our travelling companions are en route by bus from Seam Reap we meet up tonight for a final dinner.

Thanks to Allison for lovely photo of Fullerton Drive with views to Arran and to Kenny for the photo of his hand having been stitched in A & E after a glass broke in his hand at work. Hope that it doesn't interfere with uni essays not to mention golf or football!!

Break in communication due to lack of internet facilities in current hotel. We are so busy between sites/sights and shopping there just isn't time to keep up. Promise more later today.
Suffice to say Seam Reap and it's sites are truly wonderful.

This photo says it all.

Amazing Awesome Angkor Wat


No wonder it is now considered a Wonder of the World.

The photos nor my text could so it justice. Our great guide got it so right yet again and had us all up and on the road for 05.00hrs in order to have a prime spot for sunrise.
