Moved on to Battambang
Includes some last shots of Siem Reap, the journey between & their new digs!
Hello again.
Since our last post we have hit the road again for a four hour bus trip south west to Battambang. We have had a couple of walks around the local area since we arrived and like what we have seen (and eaten) so far.
Tomorrow we are doing a day tour via a special Tuk Tuk which consists of (what I think is) a Toyota Starlet cut-off with a normal-ish Tuk Tuk body grafted on the rear.
The Driver seems a bit wild so it should be interesting.
The photos associated with this post include some last minute bits of Siem Reap plus some of Battambang and in-between.
Enjoy
Difficult decisions in Siem Reap

Battambang - A day out & about!
from Phum Rumcheck 4, Cambodia
Any place with Rumcheck in its name must be good in my book!
A busy day on the 25th with visits to:-
a unique Bamboo Railway,
a 'Heritage Listed' house,
a Temple pre-dating Angkor Wat and, lastly,
a collection of tranquil Temples on a mountain top which share their place with a stark reminder of the horrors of the Pol Pot regime.
This Country suffered so much whilst the 'civilized' West pretended not to notice.

It's just amazing. How much longer is their trip? I am sure they will be sad to go home
