Cambodia 2

When we arrived in Cambodia I was sorry that I hadn't packed away my North Face jacket. It was very hot and humid.

The children in Cambodia were beautiful. However, I certainly felt sorry from them. The ones we saw were peddling all kinds of crafts and goods. They swarmed the bus whenever we arrived anywhere.

One sad sight each morning was the block long lineup at the hospital for children. When we returned in the evening there were still people waiting.

The first night we were in Siem Reap many of our group climbed Phnom Bakent to watch the sunset. Bob made the climb, but not me. I was glad I hadn't gone up because it was rather hard to come down in the dark.


Our hotel in Siem Reap was wonderful - big rooms, beautiful hardwood floors and furniture. Below is the swimming pool at the hotel.
We visited more temples the second day we were in Cambodia.




The thing that I liked best about Cambodia was the foot massage that I had. The massage extended up to my knee and the fellow seemed to manipulate the bones in my knee. I have had a bad knee for at least five years and I noticed the next day that I could climb stairs without my knee hurting and it has been good every since. I hope it continues.

The last night we were in Cambodia we went to The Pizza Company for supper and had the best pizza we have had since last August. It was very good.
