thanks phillipa and jennie

word.

we made it to siam reap yesterday, (the place were the temples are for the unimformed), one of the tomb raider movies was partially filmed there - which one i'm not sure cause i've seen neither, but it might be something to look into when i get back.

anyway, back to the heading. on our bus trip we stopped for lunch and whilst using the facilities phillipa and jennie saw an opportunity they couldn't refuse, so when i arrived back to the team i had none other then a roast tarantula waiting for me. hmmm. not to let a crowd down i gave it a go. it wasn't a big one, - probably about 10cm in length all up, but still pretty intimidating. although i must confess i didn't eat the whole thing, an abdomen and poison sacks don't really tickle my fancy, so i many just ate the front legs. look out for a video coming near you shortly. was a bit overcooked, but oh well, you get that.
seeing my attempt credit must go out to phillipa and jennie who obliged by eating a couple of legs each. shot girls! sorry if i've offended anyone, but i'm the type of guy that will give most things a go.

anyway, cambodia is corrupt. (if you didn't already know.)
to catch our bus from the centre city on monday morning we hired 3 tuktuks, and split the team between the three. craig told them all exactly where to gom but with a little extra on the side, two drivers took us to another bus station expecting that we would by a ticket and get them some extra coin, (cause they have special deal with the bust companies), but alas we already had our tickets, so we were in the wrong place at the right time. which all added to the stress levels of a few of our team. but God looked after us and we made it too the right place eventually.

the trip it self was quite uneventful. note for future reference - don't get a seat where you can see out the front window. theres all kinds of stuff on the road and buses aren't the most manuoverable. i thought we were going to crash into heaps of stuff, kids, animals, moto's, cars, but our driver proved himself time and time again. what a good dude.

anyway, i could go on but i'll leave it there. hope all our well. the temples are amazing.

take care kids,

carl.
