Final Day

Good morning everyone.  It’s our final morning in Siem Reap.  We’ve arranged for a couple of vans to take us out to Banteay Srey temples this morning, often said to be the most beautiful of the Angkor temples.  We’ll spend a little time there  getting one last lesson on Cambodia’s ancient history then head back to the Landmines Museum to have a final look at Cambodia’s more recent unfortunate history.  Then it’s back here to the hotel to get our (heavy) bags organised and maybe make a few last minute donations of clothing to the orphanage across the river.  Siem Reap International Airport awaits us in the early afternoon and, despite the fact that we’ve had an adventure none of us is likely to forget, we’re now all quite eager to board the flight and make our way back home again.  Thanks for following our blog.  See you in Melbourne tomorrow morning.  Garry
