When reflecting on the travels it’s easy to paint the picture that it’s all rosy. And honestly for the most part it has been great, but in Phnom Penh I finally succumbed to the common traveller affliction. The make things worse I cheaped out staying in a fairly bare bones gaff. Big mistake.
Toilet without a flush. The bucket is also the shower
The plan was to go to Ho Chi Minh City on the Monday morning but I wasn’t up to it at all. This did come with the bonus of moving to a much nicer new gaff. Basically a palace in comparison, and only twice the price due to some wild discount on Booking.
So true
Just when I thought things were on the up though, another blunder. This time my ATM card swallowed as I was taking out money to pay for a meal I had already eaten. Had to go back to the restaurant and explain to them and then get a backup card.
Don’t give me this cutesy animation after ya swallowed me card ffs
Since I was hanging about a few days I was able to collect the card so that was handy. But still an effort.
Eventually started feeling better and on Friday I had a great night out with the Galway gang who had made their way up from HCMC.
Seemed very bad at the time and things will go wrong travelling. Usually ends up being a story to tell anyway.
