Wats, wats, and more wats plus a Citadel

Boy oh boy is it hot! I didn't know that I could sweat this much!

We left Hoi An and took a private car to Hue. We had one full day there and we spent the morning at the Citadel and then took the afternoon off to rest. We had been busy in Hoi An and didn't really have any time to rest. From there flew to Phnom Penh (PP). PP is a place that I had been through but didn't really seen until now. We hired a car and saw so much in one day. 2 Wats, the Killing Fields, S-21, the Royal Palace... it was a full day but worth it. The Killing Fields were pretty in a very eery way - the memorial way very peaceful. S-21 on the other hand was very hard for me to look at. There are pictures of the people who were there and you see such young children who were killed. I found one picture that reminded me of a boy from CCPP - that was scary for me.

We took the six hour bus ride from PP to Siem Reap (SR). This was a bus ride that I had done before and as any bus ride was happy when it is done. SR is a funky little place. I really enjoy the size of the town. We hired a guide and car and saw the main places in and around Angkor Wat. At about 8am I was ready for a cold shower. We just came in from our day out and my next stop is a cold shower and then a nice cold beer... maybe some shopping afterwards.
