Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap - Direct from the Source.

I left Batdambang by boat. It was a lovely, slow ride on a longtail covered boat to Siem Reap. While it took 7 hours (leaving at 7 a.m.) it didn't seem that long with the changing scenery. Got to see lots of locals who live right on the river. I arrived in Siem Reap and with my dirty clothes...

Viva Cambodia

Though we have only spent 3 days in Cambodia, I feel like I could write pages and pages on this place. It is an complex land, with complex people who have gone through incredibly tragic things in recent past. This is set side by side with the other-worldly beauty of Cambodia's ancient past -...

Totally Templed out...

Siem Reap is the setting for Cambodia most famous monument.. Angkor Wat, the series of temples build in the 14th century. The town has dveloped into a nice spot much in the way of Luang Prabang in Laos. There are nice coffee houses and patisseries as well as a nice vibe in the town itself with...

Atemberaubende Momente in Angkor Vat

Mit dem frueh aufstehen hat bei uns eigentlich ganz gut geklappt...bei Alex nicht so wirklich...der war gestern noch einen pichern, und war als er zurueck zum Guesthouse kam, ausgeschlossen. Irgendwann gegen 4:00 wurde er dann reingelassen, nachdem er die halbe Nacht vor dem Guesthouse gelegen...
