Day 8

Wake up to our last morning in Cambodia. Not much planned as we have to check out at 12 noon. Breakfast and it's pancakes all round. For some reason mine turns up after everyone else are nearly finished. The chef comes out and apologises. A power shortage thing.
From there we go and look for some presents for the kids to take back to their friends. And souvenirs It's very hot. And time flies. And the kids spend almost all of my US dollars. So we head back and finish packing.

Drop the bags off at the front desk and then hit the pool for the afternoon. Nice and easy.
Check my Facebook and notice an ex-parent of two of my pupils is working in Siem Reap at the moment.Dianne not only as tow lovely kids that I taught but also as said many kind words about Little Murders after she as been to see us play at the Lyrebird Lounge. So we organise for her to come and catch up at the hotel over some Long Island Teas. The kids are in the pool and Dianne tells us some great stories on her travels through Asia helping out orphan Orangutans in Malaysia and dealing with the no drinking laws in Kuala Lumpur. We chat for almost 3 hours and it's time to go to the airport.
After saying goodbye to Dianne we bid farewell to the lovely staff at the hotel especially Orwinn whose been looking after us since Day 1.
On the way to the airport we realise that Siem Reap is bigger than we thought and we've really just hung around the old part of town. Then again it's mostly just shops and shops selling the same thing. We've seen enough of those shops.
Airport is smooth sailing. Our plane has propellors! And there is lightning on the horizon. Consequently Remi gets to feeling sick.Poor kid. It was a bit of ride though. The plane bucked up and down as we hit the bad weather. They gave us a little lunch pack. I enjoyed it but the meat inside scared the kids.

Touchdown Dunang and then a 45 minute drive to Hoi An. Streets of Dunang remind me of France. Wide and open. Lots of roundabouts so scooters and cars can fight it out for position. Weather is hot and the hotel rooms we walk into is beautiful. Very luxurious. Remi as some ginger tea and feels much better. It's now 11:15pm and we all fade into sleep.
