Am in an internet cafe with a lame keyboard but am waiting out a tropical storm so thought I'd write here!

Am in Cambodia with my good friend Nina. Had a long journey to get here - a flight to HCMC where I stayed overnight and then a bus across the border the next day but it was worth it! Met Nina the day after I arrived and we had a chilled couple of days in Phnom Penh, then we got the bus down to Kep, by the sea. Sadly it overheated and broke down about 1 1/2 hours into the journey so we had to wait for over an hour at the side of the road for a replacement bus. Eventually when we arrived it was chucking it down ao we weren't particularly impressed. It stopped raining for just long enough for us to walk along the coast to the crab market and have a really nice dinner of super fresh crabs and prawns but then it begain to rain just as we left. It continued raining the next day so we headed off to Kampot and the rain stopped just as we got there and held off just long enough for us to spend a few hours there and get back to Kep before the rain began again. Thankfully there was less rain today so we spent the day on the beach at Rabbit Island, a very quiet chilled place and we've just got back from stuffing ourselves again with crab and prawn. Tomorrow we are going to Sihanoukville to stay at this fancy pants hotel and we are really rather excited about this! Will write more when I have access to a fully functioning keyboard!!
