Cambodia was quite an experience.
We spent 2 nights in Pnohm Penh. We had drinks and food at the Foreign Correspondents Club and the next day we went to the Genocide Museum and the killing Fields. It was all very depressing. I think the younger ones in the group could not imagine that something like that could happen
Off to the Russian Market... yes they were here too, selling various things. We had fantastic food at a restaurant which had been set up by an excellent chef, who trains orphans and street children to cook and manage restaurants.
There was some extremely heavy rain and we got drenched at one point running for 20 yards!
The next days we took the bus to Siem Reap. We went to the see the Temples at Angkor Wat... actually Wat means temple... but anyway we saw them all and went through the town where a million people had lived in the 14th Century.
We spent four nights there and and went on a trip to see the largest lake in South East Asia. It was all fascinating, Kirsten held a baby crocdile so that we could have a photo taken. We now have to find an animal for Jo to hold.
The road to the border was very muddy and we managed not to get stuck... although the group that left on Thursday got held up for ages.
A day's shopping here and tomorrow we are off to the south and a week on the beach!
