October 23rd: Phnom Penh - Siem Reap
On yesterday's run I dropped my camera (and myself!) into a rice paddy, frying the camera. So I have borrowed pictures from our friends Cindy and John.
Thanks guys! En route to Siem Reap we climbed to a temple complex with spectacular views over the flat plain, then got stuck in the middle of nowhere when our driver dropped the wheels on
one side of the bus into a ditch while trying to avoid a particularly large pothole. The perils of travel just after the rainy season.
