2026 Vietnam and Cambodia Adventure (Part 3)

Of the 20 people in our group, 
only four of us continued onto 
Seim Reap in Cambodia.
It was great with only four people 
as it was like having a private tour. 
 
Stephen and Christine are from Victoria 
and it turns out we have mutual friends.
We spent a fabulous few hours at Angkor Wat 
and the areas around it.

It's tiring hanging around the temple!
 
 We visited the Wat Tepothivong Memorial Site 
also known as The Killing Fields.
 
 It was very sad reading about everything.

 Apopo, where they train rats to find 
unexploded land mines from the war.
There are still a lot to be found, 
especially in rural areas. 
  
This is Jessie who demonstrated 
how the rats find the mines.
 
 This is Jordan.
 
 Jordan loves sleeping and getting cuddles!

We went to a traditional Cambodian buffet for dinner
and enjoyed an Apsara dance performance.
 For our last night, the four of us 
headed to the famous Pub Street.
There were so many restaurants to choose from. 
We enjoyed another delicious meal.
Cheers to the end of our big adventure!
 
We had the best time. 
Saw so many wonderful things, 
ate the most amazing food 
and met lots of people. 
  
I hope you've enjoyed reading about our trip. 
It is only a snapshot and of course, 
we took hundreds of photos!
