Visa Run to Cambodia & A Relaxing Week

Last weekend I had to do a visa run to Cambodia to extend my visa for an extra 15 days, we were supposed to be in this nice tour bus with a 42inch flat screen playing english movies...well when we arrived at the meeting place at 4:40 in the MORNING there was no tour bus and no tv..just two small mini-vans :(
Thank the Lord that Lance was nice enough to come with me on the long 8 hour trip, because I was also the only girl!!   When we finally arrived at the border of Thailand it took only about 15mins to cross over to the Cambodia side, but once we were in Cambodia we had to go wait in a Casino for our paperwork for the visa's to be completed.  That took about 2hrs they had an alright buffet and air conditioning so it wasn't to bad.


Also, that same weekend Lance's boss came into town so we went and showed him around a bit.  We were on our way to The Grand Palace and when we almost get there our taxi driver tells us we might not be able to get back because of The Red Shirt Protest that would be going on till midnight.Red shirts.



Of course after we found that information out we had the taxi driver turn around and head to a Indian restaurant that his boss wanted to try.  This was my first time eating Indian food!
 Lance got a Banana Apple Smoothie
 Some type of yogurt drink it is supposed to help with the spiciness 
 I loved the way it was all presented
This was used to clean your hands when your done eating
 The had a candle lit in the bottom to keep the chicken curry hot
 This place also had a great view, it was on the top of the hotel
The pool that you could see from the view of the restaurant
 That week I went to lunch with Marloes and Angel at an Irish Pub I got the Fish and Chips
 Oh and on the way home this is what happened...it has been raining a lot here lately!!
The next day Me, Marloes, Angel, and Jamie went for a massage with a coconut scrub and oil massage a total of 2hr pure bliss!





The girls! Marloes, Me, Jamie, and Angel
 The also serve you breakfast 
 and Ice Cream at the end!
After our wonderful massages we headed to a 24hr American Diner yum!
I got the Hot Dog! 
Marloes got some yummy looking cheese fries which she had never had before and loved them!


 and on to the pool for a relaxing beautiful day!!
