Day 2 Siem Reap

A huge buffet breakfast tempts us. Some stay safe with muesli, fruit and eggs, but many choose spicy noodle soup. Then it's a free morning for $5 haircuts, $2 tuk tuk ride, market shopping or just relaxing. We visit an orphanage after lunch, where beautiful children play with us then sing their repertoire of songs in English.
After that we go to a handicraft centre where young people are taught how to make traditional crafts. Amazingly intricate work with price tags that reflect their quality. A swim, happy hour (buy 2 cocktails for $3.50 each, get one free!), dinner and a cultural show complete our day.
Cambodia is a gentle introduction to Asia -hot but not dreadfully so, quietish streets with gentle traffic, and happy smiling people who are delighted we choose to visit their country.
