We use Facebook for quick updates, and make full blog entries as often as we can. Here are some updates we first posted on Facebook for Cambodia.
We are still working on one for the photos from Angkor Wat temples and one for the Mondulkiri with elephants and zip-lining over waterfalls. We have a 48-hour trek the next two days to get from Koh Rong, Cambodia to the Seychelles on our way to Africa (Koh Rong – Sihanoukville – Phnom Penh – Bangkok – Mumbai – Seychelles). It the longest single leg of our trip. We should have plenty of travel time to work on those.
Koh Rong
Our last sunset in Indochina. It has been an amazing adventure from the Mekong Delta to Vietnam, through the temples of Angkor Wat, across the forest of the Mondulkiri in eastern Cambodia to the remote island Koh Rong in the gulf of Thailand. We have learned so much and made memories that will bond us forever and last a lifetime. Thank you, Amen.
Phnom Penh
The Royal palace in the Kingdom of Cambodia. The king is 65 years old and he lives here. The picture of the big temple is actually a Coronation Hall. The hall has a high throne and the throne is only sat in for one day, the Coronation Day, in the entire length of the kingship. There are smaller chairs in front of that throne that the king and the queen mother will use to hold meetings with dignitaries. The great temple is actually an urn in which the ashes of king Notre Dame rest.
The other pictures are at the national Museum of Cambodia and the view from the Foreign Correspondent Club on the Mekong Delta.
Siem Reap
We went to Phare, The Cambodian Circus. It was a great time.
