Bye Sydney Hello Singapore and Cambodia

Off of the back of a great trip to Sydney, we fly on to continue our holiday with a stopover in Singapore, before our adventure in Cambodia.
Singapore once again did not let us down and the kids would have loved another day or two. This place is just great with kids, It has so much to do. It is spotless clean and smacks you in the face with contrasts of the West and East. Suprisingly it does not have to be expensive if you eat like the locals.
After some great food, a bit of shopping and the compulsory Water Park it was time to fly out to Phnom Penh in Cambodia.

Monks asking for Rice Donations

Talk about a completely different world we had arrived in. Dusty, 3rd world with crazy Customs entry which was rather dodgy being asked to pay more then probably required, but it had so much to offer.


Temple Shrine

Both Phnom Penh and later Siem Reap were full of beautiful generous people. The looked after us and we stayed in a ridiculously cheap but wonderful hotel in Siem Reap.

Bayon faces early morning

The weather in January is perfect, with mild early mornings and warm 28-30c days. Just like home in Adelaide! We did have to be particular with our food and water hygeine. This is very much a third world, so care and respect of our bodies was essential or we were destined for additional bathroom time, if you know what I mean!
Temples - Amazing!!! People - Beautiful and caring!!! Food - Cheap and delicious!!!

Ta Phrom

We were lucky enough to share some of this trip with my sister and her husband and we both agreed that Cambodia now has our heart. I feel tears are imminent
