Off to Tassie (photo heavy)

Yesterday we travelled on the Spirit of Tasmania from Geelong

we had a cabin so we could sleep, and had a wonderful roast dinner as the boat left

we both took seasickness pills as it was rough once we left the bay, we tried to see St Leonards as we travelled but I don't think we did

this may have been Portarlington.

We were woken at 5.45 and drove off at Devonport at about 7 am. After some getting lost (aka Tiki Tour) we found a beach to stop and have breakfast

from here we drove to Westbury because there was an Adventure Lab there 😁and it was kind of on our way.

the AL places were around these statues which were all along the main street, but the questions were usually about other things

there were lots of beautiful old buildings in this town. From here we wandered on to Campbelltown, for yes another Adventure Lab and lunch. We didn't have to hurry today as we couldn't get into our accommodation until 2pm. Campbelltown has an amazing red brick bridge

made with red bricks, that were made by convicts. There is a long line of bricks in the town footpath with the name of each convict and what the were sentenced for - often stealing and often not very much. 

There are also beautiful old buildings here and old tree remains carved with historical images.

this lady, Flora I think was her name,  had lots to do with sheep breeding in the area, I will have to look her up and find out more.

From here we wandered thru to Swansea. We have a cabin in the camping ground not far from the beach, I wandered down to have a look yesterday afternoon 

Today we have woken to sunshine and no wind.  We are heading off for a walk along the beach soon.

Happy stitching. 

Prek K' Dam.

Yesterday we have headed back down the river and have been overnight at Prek K' Dam...tied up to a tree!! :-0

Sunset tonight

Lyn and myself with the lovey Jenny, who looked after us each meal on the boat.

                       Today we get on a bus and begin a 5 hour drive to Siem Reap.
We had a few stops on the way, I was right up the back and thankful couldn't see the road ahead, the driving as a bit hairy from time to time!! We stopped at a market

the dried banana and fruits here  look great, not so sure about the fried crickets and tarantulas!!

or cockroaches

more crickets

heaps of them here!!

I think these could be snake fruit but am not sure

Lyn got brave and held a live tarantula, this was close enough for me!!!

We carried on in the bus and passed many interesting things

We passed lots of temples

places where statues were made

the stone mason at work

we stopped for a cuppa, these tiny flowers were in the car park

lots of interesting vehicles on the road

and people selling food.

and rice paddies for miles.

We arrived at Siem Reap in time for lunch and a swim in the pool before our next outing.
