After a couple of weeks relaxing, eating and exploring Phnom Penh, we headed north to Angkor where we spent 3 days on a bike riding tour of ancient Angkor temples and other incredible ruins. A couple of mornings Nadia, our friend Matt and I were out the door at 6am to walk through some of the temples just as the sun was rising and without the hoards of visitors that would be at the same temples a couple hours later in the day. We stayed in Siem Reap, which is a nice town at the heart of the Angkor region with plenty of restaurants, pubs, and things to do and see.
After Angkor, we flew to Sinahouk Ville on the coast where we went scuba diving off an island a couple of hours offshore. We also ran in the near year at a fun beach party along with our good friends Matt and Sheila. Cambodia is a beautiful country with lots to offer - nice people, good food, lots of history (good and bad), beaches, and plenty of inexpensive ($6/hour) massage options -foot, back, shoulders, head, etc, after a long day of biking.
Note: This blog program isn't set up to hold too many photos so I'm now also posting photos on my Facebook account at: robmaroni. If any blog followers want to see more photos just sent me a 'friend request' and I'll accept so you can see more than I include in the blog.
