This is just a really quick blog to let you know we are all alive and well. We leave for Ankor Wat and temples this morning so hopefully I can make a better blog later. Loading pictures is a real problem - it takes forever so I am only putting a few up, again hope to do better later. Cambodia is a wonderful place, but a place of extreme contrasts, so it will take a long time to explain even the few insights we have gained. So until then, bye. Shane
