The second we stepped off the musty coffin like boat (we could sit in the sun on the roof though, and that was fabulous) we were surrounded by tuk tuk drivers all trying to take us to guesthouses for comission. One lone driver had a sign that said "... Read more >

The ruins at Angkor were as impressive as expected. Angkor Wat (the big temple) was especially so, but my favourite was the one with cows grazing all around it. (Still no photos!)  I got my chance to run around pretending to be Lara Croft, but that lasted ... Read more >

On Sunday there was more history. We visited the second largest of the killing fields. It was a draining but worthwhile trip, especially as we had an excellent guide. Uncle G's ham sauce spaghetti (Khmer variation) was excellent. After that we headed ... Read more >
