My bamboo train ride...

I have to give Conor credit for planning the majority of our trip. He is awesome and looks everything up and figures most of it all out for us. I am so lucky that I just get to mooch off all his hard work.

He found this place in Cambodia called Battambang, which has this semi famous bamboo train ride. Battambang was kind of on our way back to Phnom Penh so we decided to go for one night. At the bus stop in Siem Reap we ended up playing and making goofy faces at the cute kids in the bus next to us. They were adorable.

The train ride was cool. It's outside of town a bit so we got to drive around in the Tuk Tuk for a little to get there. Sometimes I love riding in these things and just watching everyone in their normal lives. The scenery on the bamboo train was beautiful- open fields with cows roaming. The train is interesting. It is one way so if someone is coming the opposite way you have to get off and the drive disassembles the train to move it off the track. I should probably define 'train' as a bamboo car, sitting on wheels.

After a good nights sleep we made our way back to Phnom Penh for the second time. We stayed two nights again before heading down to the beautiful Cambodian Islands. Our second night in PP, Charlotte messaged me saying she was there too! So we got to have dinner and see here again. It was great and I was so happy because it was unexpected.
