Well I never - we arrived at the "mountain" where the Killing Cave and bat caves are found to be offered a choice, walk or use a moto. I thought to myself - I can do it, it is not that steep, I am not that old..... when I heard Kathryn say let's take the moto!! I loved it and more to the point so did she.

The Killing Cave had an atmosphere that is difficult to describe without using the word dread. It is not over done but everyone, including children, just fell silent as they went in and very few took pictures in the Cave itself.

The pagodas were lovely but what I loved was the view that being up high gave me towards Pailin.

Arriving safely at the bottom we settled down for the nightly show of the bats leaving the cave for their dinner. They eat until 3.30 when they return to the cave. As they flew out it really looked like a ribbon of bats that went on for well over 20 minutes. They say there are more than one million bats in that cave alone.

I love Battambang!!
