Siem Reap to Phnom Penh

The boat trip

This morning our guide came to our hotel at 6:30 am and took us to the boat jetty, for the boat leaving for Phnom Penh at 7:30 am. We are now getting closer to the capitol of Cambodia crossing the Tonle Sap Lake. This is the largest lake in Asia and it varies from 6000 in dry season up to 15000 square km in wet season.
Right  now floating villages are passing by. A long the way we see people busy with their daily chores making a living on the lake. So there is a lot for us to look at on the way.

In Phnom Penh

When we arrived in Phnom Penh a new guide waited for us. We took a tour in the main prison used during the Khmer Rouge regime, approximately 25 000 people where killed in this prison alone,  today it is a museum.

Later we stopped by a dancing school for children, mainly orphans,  here they learned traditional Cambodian dance.
