Holiday in Cambodia, the memories and the movie...



Sun sdae from one of the 7 wonders of the world Angkor Watt, the temple of Ta prohm! It truly is an awe inspiring ancient beauty, built in the 12th century the city was once abandoned after the death of the king for years it lay undiscovered hidden in the jungle covered in strangler fig trees, such a beautiful place...





Introducing selfies to the children during a 10km bike ride through a rural village of Kampong Cham, Cambodia! What an amazing experience!







Last night we had a home cooked meal and tarantula rice wine with the locals in kampong cham province and today i ate a tarantula leg! Quite crispy and tasty who would have thought! mmm thats it for spider cuisine






 

We stayed in a village homestay in Champong province, we bought the children gifts and made friends through broken English, and they are always smiling and are redeveloping a tourist industry with the help of NGOs.

Its my last night in Cambodia, its been a fun, fascinating and hectic trip! We have travelled by public bus over bumpy dirt roads, drunk far too strong vodka buckets and danced the night away in seedy beach bars on the coast, we’ve bartered at central market and got saturated by monsoon rains, and here pictured is a gasoline station Cambodian style for when tuks tuks need a top up! ;)
