Another day on the road

Today we have a morning of leisure, ha, ha, in Dalat until our transfer to the airport at 1.30pm. Our flight will take us to Siem Reap via Saigon, so we will be having a late night.
The princesses decide on a cable car ride so head off in a taxi for a 10 minute ride to the base station. From there it is a short ride to the other end over pretty patchwork farmland to a lake at the end. Trevor and I wander around town and have a coffee in a cafe on the far side of the lake in town because we really need to use a clean loo!

We chat with the waiter about his English skills which are quite good and he disappears and literally skips back with the book he is teaching himself from. Anke and Bob also go for a wander and are the first ones back to Dreams. Uneventful transfer, check-in, flight and transit in Saigon, except for Trevor being caught out in the ladies loo at Dalat airport. Luckily it's Carolyn and Anke who alert him to the fact he's in the wrong place! 'Smooth as silk' Brenda is heard to say. Now, who has packed their Cambodian visa in their suitcase??? I wonder.........

And where is our f**king transfer from Siem Reap airport to our hotel??? Sorry about the language, but I'm tired..... Someone spoke faaarrr to soon. Siem Reap is a little underwater, the road between the Steung Hotel's 2 buildings is under, but luckily we are in the reception building so don't have to get our feet wet tonight getting to the other side. Breakfast is served here too. I want to go to bed - it's late and I've had many annoying little things going on, so I'm over it. But I'm waiting up to see if Janny, our guide for tomorrow is going to contact me. We've had some problems and Facebook is all we have at the moment. All we can do is be ready in the morning and see what happens. I'm sure if Janny has a problem getting here, he will send someone to cover for him.
