Day 141 Tuesday December 21st Siem Reap, Cambodia. Sarah joins us!



Phoc An Hotel 0510 391 6757. Chai and his family run our hotel and it’s good with a pool and we have a 3 bedroom for Sarah and us for $35/night.
advice on Cambodia from an Englishman’s web site: cambodia-overland-bkksr-self.htm
Sarah flies in to spend her two week Xmas break with us. We miss Julia and Katie but having Sarah with us helps. Xmas makes us feel lonely.

"There is so much weariness and disappointment in travel that people have to open up —in railway trains, over a fire, on the decks of steamers, and in the palm courts of hotels on a rainy day. They have to pass the time somehow, and they can pass it only with themselves. Like the characters in Chekhov, they have no reserves — you learn the most intimate secrets. You get an impression of a world peopled by eccentrics, of odd professions, almost incredible stupidities, and, to balance them, amazing endurances."
Graham Greene
