Cambodia!

Hi everyone!!

Since we last posted, we took the 12 hour bus drive from Bangkok to Siem Reap... only 200 km. Crossing the border was very exciting and nerve racking. We were warned immediately about pick pockets and to be very careful. Brad was immediately chased down by a 6 year old boy with an umbrella. The attempt was to provide shade to Brad but the boy would also close the umbrella on Brad's head trying to distract him from his pocket.... but Brad survived!

The roads in Cambodia are pretty rough. Potholes and completely dirt with minor construction everywhere. We passed motos, tuk tuk, interesting tractors, cows, pigs, dog, naked children - just about everything but cars. It was a lot of fun to look out the window seeing their stilted houses, schools, barbershops, markets, everything. Definitely a level of poverty I've never seen before.

Yesterday we spent the day at Angkor Wat... it was a full day from sunrise to sunset. We took some amazing pictures and even saw where Angelina Jolie shot Tomb Raider (a real source of pride for our Cambodian guide Prak).

This morning we browsed through some old street markets and purchased some souvenirs... this afternoon we're going to the floating villages.

Both our group and the food have been great so far! It's nice getting to know everyone - a lot of highly experienced travelers. We've been trying new meals everyday including amok fish, fried noodles, banana pancakes, green curry, lychee, coconut and pineapples.. Tasty!

We may try to post pictures - wish us luck on trying to figure that out. Love you all!
