I'm not afraid of flying but nevertheless I've made a lot of overland
travelling and it's a wonderful experience you can't compare with just
flying to a destination.
Think you'll get a real interesting trip with that itinerary.
Just one thing, possibly you know already that landmines are a threat in
Cambodia so be careful when being outside the cities, don't walk where it's
not complete safe. Good luck with the trip
