The Star of the Day (Granny) could not keep up the pace after the visit to Angkor Wat and had to endure the air conditioning in the bus watching the rest of the team doing it tough in temperature of about 40 degrees, plus the factor of the reflection from the road and a head wind. They done really good!!! and are to be congratulated on a superior effort.
Trips are physical, mental and spiritual. We have done the first two and are now into the final section. The temples and pagodas are playing their part in that respect. Our guides are giving us wonderful insights into the Hindu/Buddhist history. One could land in Siem Reap, stay in the luxury hotel, be bussed or driven in air conditioned car to the temples and not be subjected to frenetic traffic and think this was Cambodia. The REAL people of Cambodia live in a totally different world.

Marion Gathercole (The Granny of the group) I am informed the others say Super-Granny – and I am flattered.
Cambodia is full of breathtaking temples and is full of rich culture and history. It would be lovely to visit there someday.
