Greetings from Sihanoukville (Cambodia)

Just a quickie, we left Thailand a couple of days ago. As soon as we crossed into Cambodia, it started to rain. So far, we have been mostly confined to bars, restaurants and buses. Having a great time as always.
One little tip for you if you come to Cambodia, (Kate and Katie), learn to convert pounds to dollars, to rials, to bahts. We crossed the border and were given prices in bahts, paid in dollars and got our change in rials. After much confusion and some arithmetic we were surprised to find we hadn't been ripped off.
As we said above, due to very heavy rain we've had to spend a lot of time in bars and restaurants. During one gentle afternoons drinking session (nowt else to do) we met some lovely people including Les Paterson (the Australian cultural attache) aka Dame Edna Everage aka Barry Humphries. He wasn't the real Les Paterson but did a great impression including pebble dashing everybody in the bar with his food. Nice!!
Anyway sun is shining now and we're off to the beach.
We also have a new phone number 012598711 (country code we think is 00855).
Cheers for now.
Gal and Arry
