Hi,
Still having a great time, although got a bit of traveller's diareha...antibiotics fixed me up in a day.
It's getting quite a bit hotter now that I'm heading south, and coming out of the highlands of Northern Thailand and Laos. I've been sweating pretty much constantly, since entering Cambodia. I can't imagine what the hot season is like... much be brutal. Not much swimming yet as most of the rivers are pretty polluted, but did find a couple nice places of the Mekong to swim and cool off
My spelling may be a bit off, as I keep forgetting my glasses, and in some of these hot, steamy internet cafes, I sometime have no idea what I'm typing. Having to wear glasses really is a pain.
Visited a couple of small towns in northern Cambodia which had almost no westerners. Getting off the beaten path a bit is a real adventure and I love meeting the locals without the Touts trying to sell stuff, which you get in the more touristy places.
I'm spending the next 3 days exploring the ruins of Angor Wat, a huge complex of ancient ruins in the middle of the Cambodian jungle. It's pretty touristy, but tomorrow I'll rent a bike which should allow me to get away from the crowds a bit.
I've met lots of travelers, mostly much younger of course, but they are usually very friendly and invite me to join them for dinner and nights out. I usually decline on the partying, as us old guys need our beauty rest. The guesthouses I stay at are usually full of people from all over the world, traveling on a budget. Some really interesting people.
Still can't seem to make these internet cafe computers work for downloading more photos.
Cheers,
Dave
