Cambodia

We have been in Cambodia for two days now, we leave for Thailand tomorrow. Because of problems at the border we have had to leave our cars there (hopefully they will be there when we get back) and travel into Siem Reap by air conditioned coaches. Pure luxury after all the days in a very hot Porsche 356.the border crossing it quite interesting. On Each side there are shops/stalls of every variety. If you fancy a light snack you can always try a fresh lightly fried frog. I tried to take some more pictures of the frogs but was told to hop it :) (sorry)

Coming back from Thailand was an open cattle truck with 85 people crammed onto it.

They were then marched back into Laos, sort of tells you the difference between the countries.

We are staying at the Raffles Hotel and being spoilt rotten, but its just not the same without our cars.
The difference between Laos and Cambodia is staggering. Laos was a very poor country and the population do not seem to worried about the state of the country or the country side, which was just covered in rubbish. Cambodia on the other hand has really good roads, the country side is well cared for and the people seem genuinely pleased to see you 

You can not come to Cambodia and not go to see one of the seven wonders of the world, Angkor Wat . Simple stunning. Some how H&H managed to arrange for the rally to have private diner at the temples. Events just get better on this trip, this evening in the temples is probably about as good as it can get. A once in a life time experience.
We will come back to Cambodia and Thailand, will miss out on Laos, has a lot of catching up to do.
Tomorrow we head back to the border and then drive 590 Klm to Bangkok, arriving Friday afternoon in the rush hour. Lets hope we can last till then.
We will then get the results. The results in this case are irrelevant, we have had such an amazing time and made some special friends. Thanks must go to the guys and girls at H&H for putting this together. I may have said that before and I expect I will say it again :)
