Goodbye Kep

The bill is paid and I am pretty well packed up.  Sad to say goodbye but it's off to Phnom Penh on the bus tomorrow morning at 8:30.  The relaxation in this beautiful place is over and it's back to busy cities for the next five nights. 

I will get up extra early tomorrow so I can sit outside and relax one last time on my sofa....

Sandra came over today - she had heard me talk about Kep Lodge so came for lunch but had no idea I would be here.  I had been in the pool and had ordered lunch.  So she ordered lunch and we had a good visit.  We may have a meal together in Phnom Penh - I told her about my guest house so not sure if she will stay there or not. Nice to meet up with another solo traveler who is so darn adventurous.  People think I am brave?  Nope, not at all - I am a chicken shit compared to Sandra.

Anyway it's been fun to hang out a bit with Sandra and compare notes.  I definitely want to see more of Thailand and help out at the dog sanctuary on Phuket Island so was getting hints from her.  And no group tours in Thailand - I will do it on my own. 

Tonight I walked over to the Sailing Club again and ordered a drink called Snake in your swimsuit - it was good!!!  I sat at a table on the beach.  Very romantic actually - hey I can be romantic with myself..why not.  I ordered shrimp in green pepper sauce and it was delish.  The sunset was good but not as good as last time.  I still enjoyed it though and got a tuk tuk back here. 




I've already gotten a reminder from Tiger Airways of my flight to Singapore on Saturday so my time in Cambodia is quickly coming to an end.

My last sleep under a mosquito net for who knows how long....

Peeing on fish or a fish out of water

Well this morning we headed off by boat to Siem Reap.  Due to the low water on the Tonie Sap Lake (more like a river until near the end of the trip when it widened considerably) the trip would be an 8 hour one... It was supposed to be boring but ended up as anything but...in no certain order...let's see.... We had a rest stop (turned out to be the only one) along the way and the loo was just a hole over the lake and there were fish circling around underneath.  Yes it was just a hole in the floor...you definitely had someone watch your stuff while you went in or one false move and your camera/purse or whatever would be in the lake.  The fish either like the warm pee coming in or they are pervs and like to see ladies parts.  We were just a few minutes out when all of a sudden there was something flying over me and jumping all over the floor - a little fish!  Guess he wanted to join the tour.  Roger reached down and scooped him up while I hooted and hollered.  Okay it wasn&#

A walk along the coffin trail (and a couple of lakes) in the Lake District

While in the Lake District I wanted to do some light walking but not heavy duty hiking where I could easily get lost and my body not found for days partially eaten by hungry...sheep?  Anyway, you get the drift...not too grueling and safe for a solo walker.  I get a bit nervous when I am too far from civilization. There are lots of books about walking in the Lake District but they seem to be all about walking the fells in remote places...neither Thelma nor I fancied that.  While browsing in the post office/shop in Ambleside one day (if you are ever in Ambleside you must go there - a treasure!) I found a stand of walk descriptions on post cards.  And there I found my walk.  After all who could resist a stroll on the "coffin trail" in William Wordsworth country... I took a look and thought hmm...cafe along the route...that works for me. (with at least the security of knowing there was an available "loo" along the way.)  Okay, I may not have totally followed the

The highlights of my Fall 2023 trip

I'm back home after a great six weeks away. This was a "short" trip for me.  So here we go with an overview of my trip.   London London for me is always a good idea.  I fell in love with it back in the mid 70's and it's been calling me back ever since. Some of the best things in my life have happened in London.  When I learned my two Oz friends Loraine and Linda were going to be in London in the fall I knew I had to be there.  And what fun we had!!  Of course, I did loads of other things as well.  I spent two weeks there from mid September until very early October and then back again for four nights at the end of October before flying home.   After over five years (delayed for two and a half years thanks to Covid) of walking, I finally finished the 126 km Capital Ring.  The picture above is taken at the end of my walk and where I started in May of 2018 at the main door of Streatham Common station just steps from my B and B.  What a walk!  I got to see so much more
