Day 124 - 25th October
So I was up early, packing up my stuff and wondering how the hell I was going to get around Laos and Thailand with all my luggage. I should have got Sébastien to ship it from The Netherlands for me 9 weeks ago. What a balls up! The next four weeks will be interesting but hey, that's travelling!
I also realised after breaking Di's tablet with a Google Play update bug that I've been making a right plonker of myself when making Diana Ross jokes towards her. I wondered why she never laughed or seemed to get it. Her surname is Moss! Now you probably understand why I wanted to use An Idiot Abroad as my blog title.
We started off with a cup of tea before heading to Sister Srey cafe. I had a great chicken sandwich with house aioli and salad with a caramel shake. Di's Thai sweet chilli noodles looked good, even though they were gluten free.
We ended up having lunch with Jeff and Dot from Dubai, originally from Cheshire on the table next to us. He was a City fan and we both talked about the football whilst Di and Dot discussed the culture of Cambodia and their lives in New Zealand and Dubai respectively. It turned out be a great lunch.
On the way back, Di picked up more repellant whilst I picked up more trouble with my bank cards. Bloody things wouldn't withdraw now. Barclays and Halifax better watch out!
But before I knew it, it was 3:30pm. It was time to bid farewell to Di, whose been brilliant company in the last couple of weeks and kept me out of trouble, and out of Angkor Wat? Bar. I always seem to be the last one left behind waving everyone else goodbye! But better them than me.
My evening consisted of a BBQ bacon burger, pushing ATMs in submission until they produced my money and missing the Manchester derby because coverage of Bournemouth and Spurs was on instead! Turns out it was a better game so I retired to bed happy.
My last day tomorrow in Cambodia! Christ, where has the time gone?
Special note:
Di - thanks very much for listening to me ramble on about my book ideas, my life and just my general rants and moans. I hope your ears have stopped bleeding. I won't forget the 60th Birthday party, Angkor Wat, Charlie's bar or all the laminating! I'll see you in New Zealand soon!
