Once we crossed the border then the fun started. We had a 5 hr journey by ute (pick up truck) through cambodia to SIam Reap. wow what an amazing adventure it was!!!! there were 5 of us in the back of this truck, sitting on our backpacks, getting covered in dust on the worst roads ( if you could call it a road) you could imagine.
We saw some amazing sights on the way, it was such a shock! we wnet through the shanty towns, past rice fields that went as far as the eye could see, we saw huge water� buffalo and lots of amazing, smiling children who waved at us and shouted 'hello!'as we drove past. It was a once in a lifetime experience!. At a stop in this little village, where the car was cleaned from dust (what the point was, we don't know!)� the locals gave us a cricket to taste! it was really tasty. Once you pull the antenna off just monch it down. yum yum.�
After arriving with bruised bottoms from the trip in the truck, we had a well deserved shower and beer.
Then yesterday we spent an amazing day at Angkor Wat. We were up at 4 to go and see sunrise over this ancient city with the most amazing structures from thousands of years ago...� it was a great sight.
We spent the rest of the day on a guided tour of the temples, took 100's of pics as you can't describe in words the sight of it. To finish the dya off, we went to a landmine museum, which was very moving showing the destruction caused. it is run by people who have suffered from them�
So tomorrow we are off to the capital Phenom Pheh, this is where all the old Khmer Rouge stuff is, so its gonig to very interesting.
�So, Cambodia is an amazing� country, very hot , humid and tonnes of history and poverty, but is� really a good sight to see the smiling happy children.
We're off to bed now as we have an early start, we will upload pics soon.
See you in a few weeks.
