Quick update: all ok (but no power)

Just a quick update to let everyone know we’ve safely arrived in Battambang by bus, but there are rolling power cuts at the moment, so we’re trying to save phone battery.

Hotel seems to have its own generator (no AC, or any other power in the room itself though), but they are looking after us very well.

Full update and write-up of more Ankgor Wat temples and Battambang bat caves to follow !

Angkor Wat: Sunrise

4.15am wake up was needed to catch the Sun rising up over the most well-known and, arguably, the most beautiful temple. Our normally laid-back tuk-tuk driver, Mr Sak Sak was putting pedal to the metal and overtaking everyone else, in order to get us to the temple as early as possible. It was interesting to see the city’s nightlife winding down, at the same time as shop owners were setting up their stalls for the day ahead. The air was refreshing, and, at 25 degrees C, this was the coolest temperature we would likely experience for a few weeks. Sunrise was due for 6.12am, and temple access is available from 5am, which explains our driver’s determination to get us to the front of the queue. We got a pretty good seating (on rocks) and viewing position. Our photos won’t do the temple justice, but here they are. As a brief historical note, the Ankgor Wat temple is built on a square man-made island (surrounded by a literal square moat). The island is approximately the size of Manh...

Osaka.... Arrivederci

Osaka was amazing. We went to a cat cafe by mistake (looking for dog cafe as Roman’s allergic) but wound up being fun... ... And just a few antihistamines later he’s all better! Also water critters And castle At the airport now, sad to be leaving Japan (esp via >20 hrs travelling) and back to the grind!

Ha Long Bay

otherwise known as the bay of the descending dragon, it’s one of the more stunning sights so far. A series of islands that’s really only easily seen via ship. Difficult to describe so here are some pictures: Also many caves exist of which we visited one: Further updates on Hanoi to come!
