Out of Cambodia, Into Thailand

Out of Cambodia, Into Thailand

Tuesday. 27-01-2015 — Wednesday. 28-01-2105. 

Day 160 — 161. 

We didn't do much on Day 160. The girls got massages (again) and we ate pizza at Belmiro's for the last time, because the next day we'd be leaving Cambodia for Thailand.

A Tour of Rural Cambodia—With Bees

A Tour of Rural Cambodia—With Bees

Cambodian Beekeeping ... and a lot more. 

Over at Boing Boing, Tom writes about our first experience with Bees Unlimited as we went exploring the lesser-seen areas of Angkor Archaeological Park and saw the ingenuity and experienced the kindness of the Khmer people. Oh, and we had a few tense moments with some giant honeybees.

Around Town with Bees Unlimited

Monday, 26-01-2014. Day 159. 

Crocodiles, Chickens, Bean Sprouts, & Fish Cheese. Yes, Fish Cheese.  

Today we had another tour with Dani of Bees Unlimited, this time we'd scheduled his Discover Siem Reap Tour. It didn't start until 2:00 p.m., though, so we had plenty of time to walk into old town for an early lunch at Haven, Siem Reap's trendiest eatery.

The Thrills of a Real Soccer Game. 

Every so often we find a local organization that Frankie can join up with for a little while to actually play a game against other kids. And that's just what happened in Siem Reap.

Angkor Archaeological Park, Day Three

Angkor Archaeological Park, Day Three

Friday, 23-01-2015. Day 156. 

Our Final Day of Temple Touring. 

This was the last day our passes to Angkor Archaeological Park were valid, so once again we hired Dara to take us around the "Grand Tour Circuit," this time on his tuk tuk. He picked us up at 8:30 a.m. in front of the hotel, and in short order, we headed off to Angkor.

Monday, 19-01-2015. Day 152. 

Lingas, Lady Temples, & Landmines. 

We hire a driver to take us 50 km north of Siem Reap to visit Kbal Spean, Banteay Srei (the Citadel of Women) and hte Landmine Museum. We only had three (very different) experiences today, but it was a lot of travel.
