Siem Reap ~ Cambodia.

We've been in Cambodia for over a week now and are loving everything about the country and it's people. Smiling faces meet us everywhere we go and it's hard to believe the atrocities that took place here such a short time ago. Siem Reap is the town closest to the Angkor temples and our home while we explored the beautiful ruines by Tuk tuk (motorbike with a covered cart) for three days. Things have changed dramatically since I was here eight years ago and the town is booming.

We took a side trip down to the capital of Phnom Penh for two nights (6hrs by bus) to visit the Killing fields and Genocide museum but are now back in Siem Reap with a bus booked for tomorrow back to Bankok (8hrs by bus).
