A Beautiful Country with Friendly People and a Troubled Past
The eight days in Cambodia was an unforgettable experience: visiting old friends Phnom Penh, a time of relaxation on the beaches at Shihanoukville in the south, and the visit to the Killing Fields, which left a deep impression. During the Pol Pot reign of terror (1975-1979), more than 2 million Cambodians died of torture and famine, out of a total population of 8 million...
And yes, I did get a short bike trip in at Sihanoukville; no comparison to the Vietnam trip (and not that I was looking for that level of excitement), but more like Langkawi (beaches, some steep hills, and wild monkeys).
We didn’t have time to visit the world-famous Angkor War in the north, so that gives us an excuse to visit this beautiful country with its friendly people and troubled past again.
