The luxurious lifestyle continues...


The holiday with my parents and sister just kept getting better and better. We flew to the south of Laos and took a 2 night boat tour on the Mekong River, where we were lucky enough to have the whole boat to ourselves, complete with our own tour guide and a staff of more than 10 people. We had sole use of the whole upper deck, and we visited local sights at our own pace.

One trip to a pre-Angkorian temple site took us through leech territory, necessitating socks tucked into trousers and a lot of hopping to avoid the creepy crawlies. We travelled on to Cambodia, and made the inevitable visit to Angkor Wat before

spending time in my home town of Kompong Thom, where, amongst other things, we visited the families of a couple of colleagues. We finished up by seeing the sights of Phnom Penh. Our holiday together was unforgettable with an amazing range of wonderful experiences.
