Day 50 - Travel to Phnom Penh

This morning we waited outside of our hotel for our shuttle pick-up to the airport.  It never came so I asked the bellman to call and find out what had happened.  Apparently he didn't like the look of us so just kept driving!  We haggled through the bellman and eventually wound up taking a cab to a random bus stop, where our scheduled Greyhound Bus picked us up and took us to the Kuala Lumpur Airport International Departure terminal!

After checking in we shared a big bowl of noodle soup (I out-ate Tyler, who was still not feeling 100%) in the airport and watched some big storms outside of our gate lounge.  Ty started to feel better when I installed him in a chair massager and got him a hot tea to sip on!

We arrived into the Phnom Penh airport during busy rush hour traffic to Hotel 9, which we had selected due its proximity to lovely Vietnamese restaurant Pho 24, and had a pool and free breakfast!

Nothing like Pho to cure what ails you!

We went right to bed to get ready for tomorrow's adventure to the Killing Fields and the Genocide Museum.

Day 47 - Travel to the KL

Packed up and ready to go, we caught a cab to the airport and were more than dismayed to find that our flight was delayed three hours!  Ty wasn't feeling good so he went to read in a sunbeam while I caught up with emails and Facebook...and even though we couldn't understand the flight announcements we did catch our flight to Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur's airport was one of the most confusing airports I have ever traveled through; you had to know to book a cab before you left the arrivals gate so you didn't get screwed over in the taxicab line...after all that we didn't take a cab when they quoted us $80USD!

We eventually found the shuttle bus line up and after a few hours we got to our sweet digs, the Ambassador Suites and were upgraded to a one bedroom apartment suite!  By this time Ty had completely succumbed to a terrible flu and we were both in bed by 8:00pm!
