Brenda Letain What fun hobnobbing with the talent! That would have been interesting getting to know Christine. I admire that you include others often as not everyone would. The monkeys are also so darned cute. Such characters!

Kristine Was this an Oceania overland trip or did you plan it independently? I have found Oceania’s to be excellent.

Dennis Baker As Allan said this brings lots of memories.

Allan Reid Familiar territory. Dennis and I spent a few days in Siem Reap, during which we visited Angkor Watt and a few other temples. Everything you have described brought back memories. We certainly spent time on Pub Street and within the markets. At Angkor Watt, there were monkeys everywhere, and we were cautioned not to approach them, or engage with them in any way, not even eye contact because they are mischievous and aggressive. Did you experience the monkeys?

Helen Worley Thanks for taking the time to relive your experience and share it. We must not forget. I was there a few years ago.

Martin W Hi Brenda I needed to provide more information than I would generally provide in my blog. Thanks for your comments

Martin W Hi Dennis Yes it was very surreal, I too will not forget it.

Brenda Letain This was very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to write all the details. It's important to know what others have gone through. It's a lot to process having been there I'm sure.
