Woke up early..well not as early as 4:30 am for my morning walk around the city like the other days..but 5 am nevertheless to head to the airport for our departure to Cambodia. Had a quick check in and a blazing fast security check at what I consider the best airport in the world I've been to in the world..this being Changi Singapore Airport. Th...

Whilst in Siem Reap we spent 2 days visiting the temples of Angkor - the main tourist attraction for the whole of Cambodia. We thought we'd add it in as a separate entry as the temples (and pictures) are too numerous to be slipped in with Siem Reap.

Hey all, I'm in Cambodia and we've spent the last two days at Angkor, checking out temples and the like. Pics and videos will be up soon, so no worries. I am running out of time at the internet cafe, but before I go, I just want to say that Cambodia is kind of a hole. The people are nice, but it is definitely a hole.

From the horrendous to the sublime: we flew into Siem Reap, the town that serves the world famous historical and cultural site of Angkor. Siem Reap is currently a booming tourist destination with hotels and resorts springing up everywhere. It has to some extent managed to keep a small town, local appeal, but I'm not sure for how much longer they...

Made it to Siem Reap this afternoon. Will be exploring the Angkor area for the next 3 days. xo

We arranged for a tour guide and car for a half day to take us to the temples at Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm. We really didn't know much about Angkor Wat before deciding to come to Cambodia to see it, but knew the area was pretty much an Eighth Wonder of the world and had to see what it was all about. Thanks to Steve/Susan, and Mary McNealy for shar...

On the way home yesterday we stopped at the local park .. there was a huge boarder of these beautiful plants, I think they are a type of Daffodil, I tried growing some at Larry's last year but they did not flower. This morning I decided to check my email early instead of just in the evening and when I came out this cart was parked in front of th...

Hi everyone! We are now in Cambodia and have enjoyed it much more than we initially anticipated. As usual getting here was a bit of an adventure. We wanted to fly directly from Vientiane but there were no seats available so we took an overnight bus further south which allowed us to get on the same plane, but in a different town called Pakse. We ...

Coming from Phnom Pehn which wasn't completely my cup of tea I automatically fell in love with this small town. The main attraction of Siem Reap is its location to the great Wats at Angkor. I even got up at 4.40am to watch the sun rise at the magnificent Angkor Wat, which was much more beautiful than the sun set I witnessed the day previous. In ...

Wednesday - another early start to catch a boat for the 6-8 hour river journey to Siem Reap, home of the famous temples of Angkor. The boat journey was simply fantastic, passing fishing villages built along the river banks, along with a general hive of all sorts of river life. For the most part, the river was 100m wide, at other times as far as ...
