We arrived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in a record time of 5 hours, as our driver didn't think it was necessary to stop for a pee break. We stayed in a guesthouse overlooking Boeng Kak lake which offered beautiful sunset views and made you forget about the eyesore of a road that lay outside and the fact that the guesthouse doubled up as a brothel. Not really....we just witnessed a young girl being organised for an elderly gentleman. Shortly after introductions were made they disappeared into the boom boom room for a couple of hours. Our time in Phnom Penh was both moving and educational. We watched the movie The Killing Fields the day before we went to see the actual site relating to the film. The Khmer Rouge, under their leader Pol Pot implemented one of the worlds most radical and brutal revolutions the world has ever seen. Almost 2 million Cambodians died between 1975 and 1979 as a direct result of the policies of the Khmer Rouge government. We visited the Tuol Sleng museum which was a high school turned into a prison called S-21. It became the largest centre of detention and torture in the country. Almost all the people held at S-21 were later taken to the extermination camp at Choeung-Ek, now known as the Killing Fields where the remains of 8,985 people were exhumed from mass graves in 1980. It was heartbreaking to see the brutality and destruction that human beings caused, leaving the Cambodian people an awful legacy that they have to live with. We also spent a day touring the city visiting the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, the National museum and a few Wats. To escape the hustle and bustle of the city we headed for Sihanoukville which is on the coast. We spent our time there relaxing on the beach and eating lots of fruit. One day we ended up buying four bags of fruit, as the little Cambodian kids were very persuasive and had excellent selling techniques. We saved the best for last and spent four days in Siem Reap exploring numerous ruins within the fantastic Angkor Archaeological Park. We were blown away by the size of the park and also the workmanship of the temples. Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. Being there also invoked a sense of curiosity to know what life must have been like living in centuries gone by. Angkor is a definite must see for anyone who ventures to this part of the world.
