A skip in time ... Cambodia

It has been a while since I had time to log into internet ...
we made it thru Thailand only to wish we had more time there !
We will fill you in with the details later.

We are now in Cambodia.
Since we had to cut our Thailand part short (due to 15 day visa) we got to Cambodia sooner than we had planned.

We started in Phnom Penh - along our travels we were told that the trip up the river to Siem Reap was very lovely to see and experience.

Phnom Penh was very nice the first day - we walked around town seeing the sights and enjoying the surroundings (except for feeling a little guilty about being from the USA - and the notes about us causing the overtaking of and genocides initated by by Poll Pot). We saw great memorials and parks - interesting neighborhoods and ate a great $1. lunch at the Russian Market. The temples were run down not too interesting, beu we had a lot to look forward to about Angkor Wat.
The second day we went to the north side of the city and had a frightening day - full of beggars/homeless and actually being scared about people and our safety!

We did take the boat trip out to Siem Reap 7 a.m.- found a great place to stay - $15. which seems to be our basic amount for a nice room (although we got as low as $7 in Phenom Pen).
We have really been enjoying getting out and seeing the ruin/temples ... hired a tuk-tuk driver for approx. $12. a day to take us here and there. Can't explain how amazing the architecture is - details, size ... every one is different and special in some way ... Saving the best for last (Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom).
Tomorrow we head out to Vietnam, but we have a full day planned before getting to the airport.
