We did a pretty quick run through Cambodia. We crossed in the south and headed first for the beaches of Sihanoukville. This ride was quite an adventure of taxis, buses, hiking and ferries. Sihanoukville was a nice enough area and all, but it just didn't have the charm or natural beauty of the bit of Thailand's southern coast we saw. Next we headed way up north to see the temples of Angkor Wat from the town of Siem Reap. The Angkor civilization must have been amazing. The temples are all that remains of a walled city that could have been a million people. Who else has built a 4 mile long moat around their city? We also saw a bit of town and a floating village on nearby Lake Tonle. On our way out to Vietnam, we stopped by the capital of Phnom Penh long enough to learn a bit more about the horrors the country witnessed under the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970's. Similar to Rwanda, this was a tough country to visit knowing that every person you met had some very direct connection to such recent atrocity. Particularly difficult in Cambodia is that it's not really over until all the landmines are cleared. We saw far too many young kids who are still finding the mines hidden all over the country.
