The Pros and Cons of Travelling: My First Experience in a Capsule Hotel
On our last day in the Kingdom of Cambodia, if you think we'd be sleeping in at our hotel and just wait around for our car transfer to the bus terminal, you're actually wrong (even though I kinda wish we did just that).
Glimpse of a sunrise sky..
Like I said, no Sea View here guys..
My mom was back on her mission to send yet another postcard from the post office here in Sihanoukville. This wouldn't have been a problem per say had the roads in this part of the country been half as developed as its surrounding buildings! (which isn't really much..) On top of the really troublesome way over to the post (where I booked our usual ride through PassApp), well guess what? The f^($ing driver cancelled our book when we were already out in the middle of nowhere!!! It was a literal highway robbery when he didn't really give us a chance to say no when he arranged to transport us to the post office and later back at the hotel at the cost of $40!!!! What the effing f^($!!!
I hope that postcard was worth it mom (even though it hasn't really arrived in the Philippines as of now yet..) #AllForA$40Postcard
That pointy tip is just good for..
Lesson learned the expensive way, NEVER use PassApp in Sihanoukville (better not go AT ALL). So we did another round of freshening up--since you'd feel full of grit and dust after a trip like that in the roads of Sihanoukville (#BringFacemask)--then we waited a little in the hotel room after we'd packed our stuff, before we decided to wait at the lobby instead for our car transfer to take us to the bus terminal going back to Phnom Penh.
Fortunately, the ride back to Phnom Penh was a smooth one and we even had a decent stopover at a cafe on the way.
Takeaway food! #LastMealinCambodia
It was a long ride back and we even encountered horrible traffic along the way to the airport, fortunately our local tour agent, Ms. Chumpy, was reachable in WhatsApp and a couple of really nice locals helped us in coordinating with her the traffic situation. They let us know where to properly get off so our Phnom Penh airport driver could safely come meet us, so it wasn't really all that bad of a day.
Leaving on a jetplane!
But I guess the day was really trying my patience as I had to seat beside a wailing infant for the duration of the ride to our layover in KLIA2. At this point, I was sleep deprived and hungry as hell..
Technically dinner but having it at midnight = midnight snack
Don't know what mom chose..
...but at least you can see some noodles in mine
My hunger now already satisfied, it was time to get some real sleep around here, and since I wanted to have a good night's sleep (and also didn't want to risk another crying baby), I dragged my mother to the nearest airport hotel:
Let me tell you people, the Capsule Hotel was BETTER than the hotel we had in Sihanoukville!! Why? Because they managed to have breakfast even without a freaking dining area! HA! #LifesAJoke
To The Philippines and beyond!
And yeah, that's about it. My overall rating with Access Travel is superb! (Not really gonna blame them for that Sihanoukville hiccup, 'cuz yeah.. I did get a heads up from a co-travel blogger #HeMadeItLookSoGood) It's my first time booking with Access Travel and I can say I'd still book with them, especially when it comes to really customized tours. You don't really get much of that kind of service here in the Philippines and I'm so happy with Access Travel & Tours that they helped me tick off a travel destination from my Bucketlist! HOORAY!!!
