A big climb awaits ahead of sunset — we are at the bottom of Wat Banan. Stairs, the story of our life travel.

15 March 2014 – Battambang, Cambodia
We take the norry, aka Cambodian train! A bamboo raft, set on the original network built by the French, and powered by a motorcycle engine. Locals still take it short distances — I think we caught a bunch of school kids going home. If nothing else, it is very scenic and very fun.

We talk about how much we love Mile Map Hostel in Bangkok. We show you our room. Yes, Jenia is pretty much nesting. But Mile Map makes it easy because its clean and it looks good!

Great fun at the Great Wall
