CAMBODIA
TOURING
Experience the subdued faces of the Bayon peering down from above and explore the intricately carved bas reliefs of Angkor Wat, the largest and most intricate of the temple complexes. Hear the stories behind the creation of the Elephant and Leper King Terraces and the lesser visited temples of Banteay Srey. Along with your temple exploration you will also see touches of life in and around this area as they are today, including a boat cruise down the Tonle Sap Lake to observe life on the shores of South East Asia's largest lake. Dine on Khmer cuisine in the restaurants of Siem Reap and visit a local primary school to observe how the teachers promote the cultural traditions and Khmer values.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. This afternoon your tour takes you to see the Silver Pagoda, the Royal Palace and Wat Phnom, the founding religious structure and namesake of the city. Dinner is enjoyed at the `Friends' restaurant, part of a N.G.O. school that encourages Cambodian youngsters to work in the gastronomy and tourism industries.
DAY 10
Your last day in Phnom Penh starts with a visit to the gruesome Toul Sleng, also known as S21. This former prison and house of torture provides a stark reminder of how life was under the Khmer Rouge. See the many pictures of those who perished under the regime and the small cells used to house both male and female inmates. Continue your journey this morning with a visit to the Russian Market. Take time to shop with the many bargains on offer in this large undercover market including a selection of handicrafts, garments and electrical goods. After lunch take an optional boat cruise (extra cost locally) on the Tonle Sap River to explore life at the waters edge of this large and surprising capital city, or choose to continue your shopping and exploration of the city at leisure. Enjoy your final dinner at a local restaurant this evening.
DAY 8
Depart Siem Reap today for your journey south to Cambodia's capital city Phnom Penh. This journey is by road and can take six to seven hours. En route visit a number of historical sites including the ancient capital city of Chenla with 100 temples dating back to the pre Angkorian period. Pass villages and communities whose lives revolve around the tidal waters of the Tonle Sap Lake which provides food and water for so much of Cambodia's population. Arrive late afternoon in Phnom Penh, check in and enjoy your first evening in this city at leisure to explore at your own pace.
