Fiona Collier Laura, I love it. Every last delicious word. It does sound so achingly & utterly exquisite - regardless of the altitude sickness; I think that is the Baby Cheesus' punishment for being so hedonistic!! And I can categorically inform that it is a 'company' of parrots.. you lucky luck luck. Get well, keep safe xxxx

Jen Beresford Loving the blog Laura! You are a inspiration! Hoping to follow in your footsteps one day.....xx

Dorrie Oliver Wow Lor, You brought it all back… made me quite emotional What a truly wonderful place it is. Did you see how they positioned the stones /window’s to mark the summer and winter solstice – it was all so precise without any technology. Awe inspiring. Can completely see why nature and the sun was such a huge part of their belief system. I am impressed with your walking up to the top. Did you like Ageaus Calientes? The train through the valley was amazing too. So so glad you got to do it x

I am writing to ask permission to reprint one of your travel blog photographs in a book I am writing on the history and current uses of the Tuol Sleng mug shots taken by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
You are such an inspiration to me Laura! I hope that one day the opportunity to do what you have done opens for me x
