Cambodia

After being shaken for 12 hours in 2 different minivans and queuing at the border between Thailand and Cambodia, after being ripped off by cambodian authorities and travel agencies/bus companies, I'd say: "Siem Reap, here I am!".


Here's my new home sweet home in Siem Reap. I found with my cousin's recommandation that guest house that has a dormitory on its roof. The roof's roof made of tin and the walls of plated palm leaves.
James and me will stay there, against storms and thunder...
Yeah, after the first night of rain, which came trough the grass walls, we ended up in a big puddle...


First morning in Siem Reap, we're watching Tv about something that's happening on the other side of the world: americans elections.

Thailand. Au debut, c'etait ca...

THEN, IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS WITH TITOO.
I caught up with my cousin, Titoo, on a bike tour around Asia.

We went with our three push bikes to Jatujak market from Banglamphu. That's 20 kilometers of Bangkok's trafic. Pretty terrific!



And a little walk in the Grand Palace's gardens. Wearing lent shirts and skirts to cover our shoulders and legs.


And with Irvin, on the Grand Palace catwalk...Nice style, hey!

Mataranka, where I decided to stay. God knows why...

Some fun at the bitter springs in Mataranka.

And here are the watermelon guys, met at the springs


My friends will be soon gone...

And work's waiting for me. Welcome in my watermelon world!
Plantation...


Preparing the watermelon for a long truck ride through Australia to your Woolies.

My dear pickers ready to roll. 7am. I'm the driver, let's go!

A little break in the fields



The boys' favourite leisure: fireworks in the paddocks!



On a break in Darwin...

...we decide to go to Isotopia Festival, held in Litchfield NP.


with a muddy dance floor. But nothing can stop Alex from dancing.






And back home (Mataranka) through the Butterfly Farm, in Batchelor.




Let's have a rest with the kids ;)
