Off to Angkor Wat about 8am. By the time we got there it was nice and roasting hot. Thousands of tourists but they were processed really quickly and once you are inside the area the people spread out. Walked around Angkor Wat, huge, huge, huge. That was my effort for the day. Too many issues with the heat to do anything else. John and Cheyenne walked up a massively steep temple. I was the photographer. Walked through Tomb Raider temple but that was full. Drove ar...

Up early and ready for the bus. Actually it took us 12 minutes to pack up and clear out our room - only to go downstairs to reception and find out there is a one hour time difference to Brunei and we were 58 minutes early. I wondered why our wake up phone call hadn't come yet!! We had been in Phenom Penh since Sunday so just shows you how cruisy life is when you don't really notice there is an hour missing. Had a quick breakfast and then a 5 hour mini-van ride f...

Off for a walk to the palace. It's closed until 2pm but lots of things going on with the funeral for the King who died 6 weeks ago. Walked around to the small Paragon Mall to have a snack plus took Cheyenne for a massive chocolate sunday. Home for a swim after a spot of clothes shopping. John and I went for a ride on a tuk tuk for an hour. Lots of new buildings being constructed. 5 o'clock traffic fairly hectic. Walked to buy a couple of prints to get framed....

Up late today. By the time we all had breakfast and waited 50 mins for the taxi it was 10am so really hot! The tuk tuks are really fun but very dusty streets. Took a taxi to try and keep the dust out of John's eye. First stop S21 Prison. During the Pol Pot regime 1975-79 all the schools were turned into prisons or storage. Education was not allowed in the more traditional sense. Dreadful place. Second stop, the largest of the 300 killing fields. Anothe...

Spent the night lying awake in our hotel. Luckily it was a short night. Up at 3.40am to catch shuttle to KL airport and 7.05am flight to Cambodia. Jayne and Jeff were also in the huge queue so met up at Starbucks for catch up before they head up to Myanmar for a week, Singapore for a couple of nights and home to Melbourne for the month. The first impression of Cambodia is the huge number of paddocks lying under water for rice paddies. No wonder there are issues ...
