face it

Facing it… coming to Cambodia and not seeing the Angkor Wat… is just not on, or what?!
This is another day of Wonder and Decay in Cambodia! Everyday thousands of tourists fall upon the ruins of a dynasty. And we joined the throngs.


We had been led to understand that our guest house was a mere 200m from the Angkor Museum.. which was true, only that’s not what we wanted to see. Deciding we would save our limited dollars on the tuk tuk ride, we bravely set off on what we thought was a short walk in the midmorning…. Well, cutting a long. Very long walk short, +-7kms further, in the heat of the day, we finally got to our destination! All along the way, justifying our stupidity, by telling ourselves we needed the exercise, we would have missed this or that, we were in no rush, we… we… you know how it goes. We walked mostly in the shade, the air heavy with the trill of the cicadas! Thankfully, the heat of this day was much lower than the other days!



But it was worth it… well worth it!
