It's Tuesday and Today we started our "official" week tour of Cambodia with a tuk tuk trip through Siem Reap to see Wat Damnak, an old pagoda in the city.
A "selfie" on the tuk tuk.......
Also looked at another temple Wat Ang Ko Sei that dates back a few 100 years, then on to a guided tour of Artisans Angkor - a place where young ones, many of whom are deaf, are taught as apprentices to create artworks via wood carving, silk screening and sculpturing. It's a great way to get the kids a skill that they can take back to their villages etc and not get caught up in having to come to the city to try and get work - what little there is! It was very interesting and there are some talented kids working and learning there.
Then it was off to Old Market for a walk around (and some shopping) and lunch in Pub Street, the eating and tourist hub of Siem Reap. 50c per schooner of draft beers are a BIG draw card.....
I think the angle of this shot has distorted my svelt figure .......it's been good food over here, and plenty of it..ha!
Shortly we are off to the night markets after an afternoon rest.....and a nice dinner no doubt.
Tomorrow it's Angkor Wat.....
Just sat down and read your blogs. Great way to share your trip. All sounds good except of course the wayward luggage. Keep enjoying yourselves.
