Inspiring Cambodia



School holidays were spent in Malaysia, visiting family, with a five day side-trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. What an awe-inspiring place! Thousand year old temples surrounded by lush jungle; ancient carvings; crumbling rocks; cool, dark passages - magical!
The gang at Angkor Wat.
















Hot, steamy weather. The kind of heat that hits you as you leave the air-conditioned van, and sweat runs down your back.

Beautiful, gentle people.

Strangely, everything was in US dollars.















So many stories.... so few words.
I'd visit again in an instant.

Hi Joanne. Loved your photos. Cambodia looks gorgeous, still retaining its Old World feel. Love to go there one day!
