The bus journey back from Battambang was short but absolutely disgustingly hot as the air con hardly worked in the van so we were all dying! We arrived back in Siem Reap and headed straight to the hotel (which was a massive let down but never mind!)
For our last night in Cambodia we headed to the pub street and then went to our favourite market restaurant. We had our last lok lak, was served by the cute little girl who was only 13 and all got a little emotional as it was our last night together! After dinner we went back to the hotel, had some drinks together and said our goodbyes. We were sad to leave each other as we had travelled 4 weeks together, half of Vietnam and all of Cambodia. We had made such good friends and experienced so many cool things together. We already couldn’t wait to reunite back in the UK!
Our time in Cambodia soon came to an end and we were both actually shocked at how much we had enjoyed the country. We didn’t think anything could actually beat Vietnam, however Cambodia came very very close. We both said that if there was more to do in Cambodia it would be far the best country. Nonetheless we had the most amazing time, we loved learning about the countries culture (including beautiful Angkor Wat), visiting the beautiful islands and experiencing the emotional impact the Cambodian War had on the country.
We were really sad to leave this part of Asia but were excited for what was to come (beautiful beaches and sunsets). We left Siem Reap early as we had two flights to catch that day, the first to Kuala Lumper and the next to our final destination before Australia. Next stop … Bali (Seminyak)!!!
Adventure Awaits...
