I woke up first and had a sneaky look outside the window to find us approaching land so ventured outside to the balcony in my pjs to see we were approaching the port. We ventured into the harbour and I could see the pilot jump onboard as they dont seem to trust these cruise ship captains to navigate entering each port.
As we docked we watched these three guys trying to built a temporary sign belo Read on...

Took a trip to Attleboro today and visited my old stomping ground. The house my grandfather built for us circa 1946 is still standing. The house and yard that 8 of us, that I thought were so large as a child, now appear so small.

This morning we docked at Kratie Town during breakfast. We were able to watch from the dining room as we were tied up to the rickety timber platform that serves as the dock here. The street on the riverbank was lined with tents and people and had a festive air about it. Leng explained that officially the Water Festival is celebrated in Phnom Penh between the 10th and 12thof November, however it is Read on...
