Bit behind now, blaming it on the blog being in a foreign language and only just figuring out now how to change it!
So, we left Phom Penh and headed up country to Siem Reap. It was great to see some of the countryside with their traditional houses- 1st floor raised in case of flooding, cattle, rice paddies, sugar palms (only grown in Cambodia apparently).
Very hot and sunny. We stopped at one village where they cooked and ate spiders so some in the group decided to try (ew!). Next stop our first temple, the locals were friendly and pleased to see us. Lunch by a beautiful lake then another temple stop at one from the 10th century hidden by jungle. Arriving at our hotel it was a quick turnaround to visit Banteay Kdei for sunset. We met Chet our temple guide for the next few days and headed out to see our first main temple, lovely atmosphere.
Dinner of baguette and curry (french influence!)
