    29/6/23 – 2/7/23 Today, we were heading across the border, and making our way south to Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.

    2/2/2023 – 5/2/2023 My bus to Siem Reap left from the same place I was dropped off at several days earlier, which meant that at the very least, I wasn’t fumbling around trying to find a bus stop that morning!
