Hello Bloggers!
Our plans have changed a bit. Instead of taking a boat directly to Cambodia, which would have been a detour, we took a boat towards Kuala Perlis. In Kuala Perlis we visited a market, which you find very often in these southern countries.
After eating a ‘Nasi Melak’ to fill our stomachs, a typical Malaysian dish with rice and meat we still haven’t figured out, we took the buss to Sakom. Crossing both Malaysia and the utter piece of Thailand (the land we are going to visit after Cambodia).
In Sakom we could take a boat again that would take us to a very idyllic place called ‘Thma Sa’. Seeing Thma Sa lies at the foot of the Boutom Sakor National Park, we decided to take a hike for 2 days. We knew we wouldn’t be able to get into the heart of the park, but we had to at least visit one national park.
2 days later we decided on moving towards Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh.
We could have chosen to cross the lake Chhak Kompong Som, but since we had already seen enough water the last couple of days we chose to keep our feet on the ground.
With no actual roads present we managed to borrow some donkeys to take us to the nearest road where we started hitchhiking. After waiting an hour a friendly man picked us up and we started our tour on route 48 taking us towards Phnom Penh.
The man only took us to Phumi Cham Srei where he invited us to have dinner with him and his family. His wife and beautiful daughters showed us their house and were as friendly as you would expect when you see them smiling.
After thanking them for their hostility we left again to go to Phnom Penh directly.
Seeing we had already lost a lot of time we really had to get going now.
We travelled about 2 hours when we arrived in one of the most amazing capitals you could ever imagine. But we quickly had to search for a motel to sleep, because it was getting dark already. We had a good meal and now Sofie, Delphine and Lies are catching up on their reading and personal notes.
As for me, I’m writing about what has happened the last couple of days to make sure you stay well informed. Well, we are about to call it a night.
Thanks for reading us today!
