Onwards to Cambodia 9-3-2007

Flying from Vientiane we landed at Siem Reap airport in Cambodia. We'd spend almost a week in this country. One of the main attractions here are the ancient temples of Angkor. After visiting them we would head on to Sihanoukville - Cambodias only real seaside resort, boasting six white sand beaches. Then, after a short stop in Phnom Penh we would travel onward to Vietnam.

Very noticeable here is the poverty. Cambodia still, very much feels scarred and in recovery from its recent past. Land mine victims in every town, lots of begging, orphans and very, very persistant street vendors. A little bit of a shock coming from the other countries we'd been in.
