Sihanoukville, the beach !























It's good to feel warm sand again under our feet after our honeymoon in Koh-Samui. Sihanoukville is where we are and we like it quite a lot. Very few tourists, some still pristine areas like the ones we visited in the Ream National Parc and very friendly people. Let us enjoy this moments of calm before returning to Phnom-Penh for a night and head towards Vietnam !!

Phnom-Penh





















After a bus trip from Sieam Reap, here we are in Phnom Penh, the capital, to spend a couple of days and visit this city before going down south to the beach !! We guess two days will be more than enough since we have been told by many other backpackers that the city was nothing special. Anyway, we enjoyed it even if sometimes people trying to get something (well...heu...money) from us got slightly annoying...

Tonle Sap - Floating Village

















On our second day in Siem Reap and after re-visiting Angkor Wat in the morning, we went for a boat ride on the Tonle Sap Lake in order to see a floating village ! Well, it was a really nice experience to be able to see all the locals doing their daily stuff under our eyes but what drew our attention the most is that almost every single one of the floating houses has a TV Antenna !!! Apparently there are quite a few shows (mainly from China) that people just can't miss ! :O)

Angkor Wat !























Our long awaited visit to Angkor Wat has finally arrived ! And we actually visited it twice...once by ourselves with a very nice Tuk Tuk Driver who charged us only 8 USD a day (!!) and the second time with a guide, since we really felt that just visiting the place without knowing much about its history didn't make much sense. And despite our guide wasn't the most dynamic one, we got to learn quite a few things that weren't specified in our guide...It's definitely a place we'll come back to because it's beauty is just impressive !!
