Heading north out of Phnom Penh we traveled through the heart of Cambodia on our way to Siem Reap. Small homes amongst vast farmlands dotted with a few towns along the way. The poverty of the country is well apparent. But in contrast to the trash ... Read more >

When I flew in to Phnom Penh I was amazed at the scale of the monsoon flooding. There was water as far as you could see. The river banks and settlements were raised high enough to see them but there was water everywhere. I was worried that we were ... Read more >

I weaved amongst the vendors selling live fish, frogs, eels,

Kaitie and Caroline, being the geniuses that they are, arrived in the scariest country yet with no accomodations booked! They stepped out of the airport in the early evening and had various offers for transportation into the city. They finally settled ... Read more >

Unbelievably over 6 months have passed. So it is with sadness we prepare to leave Battambang. We will have great memories of the kids, swimming, the countryside and the people we have met. But time to move on. Next week we go to Sihanoukville ... Read more >

After our Tour de Angkor we spent 2 nights in Phnom Penh. Overall, it was a depressing experience. We visited the Genocide Museum, or Killing fields, which is the site of many mass graves from the Khmer Rouge regime. From there, we went straight to ... Read more >

A few surprising things about Cambodia.

One thing that really bugs me about travelling is getting hounded by tuk tuk/motorbike/taxi drivers as soon as you get off the bus in a new place. They are like bees round a honey pot and don't like to take no for an answer. Even though the likelihood ... Read more >
