Today I travelled by bus from Bangkok in Thailand to Siem Reap in Cambodia, the 10th country of the trip. It was a bit weird crossing the border on a coach trip as everyone has to get off and go through one passport place to leave the country you started in and then wander a short distance to go through another passport place to enter the next country before getting back on the bus again!
My first impressions of Cambodia are that it's really flat! Fields strech as far as the eye can see and I haven't seen anything close to a hill yet. There are also loads of bicycles and motorbikes and not many cars on the roads.
Just like Chile, the money could give me brain ache here. There are roughly 6000 Cambodian Reils to just £1 and to make it even more confusing most places take US dollars but give you your change as a mix of dollars and reils. Ouch to the maths!
In the photo: You can see our rucksacks on a tuktuk ride to the guesthouse we're staying in. The first tuktuk ride of the trip so far.
