3 and a half weeks already since we
left NZ. Time is speeding up now.
As some of you will now, we had some dog issues before we left. Ironically we are now surrounded by dogs and they are really anoying. Hanging around your feet, 4 or 5 sometimes while eating breakfast! Lots of flees. Lovely.
Still in Kampot. We decided to stay a
bit longer as it is a really nice area with a town with great
potential. French style houses, some repaired and some not (yet).Chloe wants to have her B'day in Phnom Penh, so we are leaving tomorrow morning. Will spend around 3 nights in PP and then head of the Laos.
Went swimming today in some rapids,
nice and cool. Yesterday we went to a cave.
We bumped into this TV crew from
australia in Siem Reap shooting footage while cooking in the market
for a TV show in OZ. After 25km driving over dirt and dusty roads we
finally arrived at the cave and guess who where there? Thats right
the same TV crew all set up in this cave in the middle of nowhere!
My pounamu seems to create some
reactions from Kiwis living in Cambodia, first we met a older guy who
owns a hotel from the Manawatu and yesterday a lady from Wellington
who was helping out with the TV show.
This country has truly potential. The
population is young (due to the war) and the land is fertile, flat
and enough water. They are a rice exporter. Also abundant fish in
lakes, rivers and sea.
The only problem is the education of
the population, but they are making great progress. China is the main
investor.Much Love from all of us.
Ps. any responds is better than none at all. Soemtimes I feel like nobody is reading this so I get less motivated.
Here I am again. I didn't read the mails last week because we went on holidays for a week. But I have written all your reports, very interesting but I am becoming a bit jealous to see you travelling for a while.... Enjoy and we are looking forward to you see all in our small and (pretty cold) country. Ciao, Kirsten
ReplyDeleteHi all,

Wonder what TVshow it was? By the way, there s a new program on that we ve been watching: Worlds most dangerous roads!
And they were in Cambodia driving all the way to the Chinese border.We get a bit of an idea what it looks like over there...beautiful nature. Kirsten is not the only one, jeaulous I am too;)
And please don't stop writing as I m always looking forward to reading about the journey. In fact, I get dissapointed when there is no new report:(
Have a nice time, lots of love from gloooorious times in Yorkeys Knob at the moment. Going for a nice morning swim while there s water in the net.
Lotsa love, Ian & Tanja xxx
