We will add photos later if we can get the ap going. Wel arrived at Siem Reap airport, a pretty place where the passengers started taking photos as soon as they got of the plane. SR is in the middle of a swamp, lusciously green and the people so friendly.We were welcomed by the tuktuk driver Hong, sent to pick us up by Stan and Nicole. It was good to see them and to find them up -they have taken to really relaxing and ten am was abit too early. It wasn't long before they introduced us to the orphans they have been teaching thesef last few months. They are obviously well loved as the kids came out yelling with glee. Since Stan and Nicole bought the sign the little orphanage has had some tourists come by and give lessons in english. one, named Alec, even built a chicken house out back. While the chicks are growing 'pa' has to sleep out back to guard them. I don't envy him. Muddy pools of water filled with mossies. They are so poor but even they've been victims of robbery. Pa and mum look after 27 children, some orphaned, some with parents too poor to take care of them. Stan and Nicole took us via tuktuk to war museum to meet Sinath whose sad story is in stannicoleblogspot. Yesterday we toured the Angkor Wat temple complex. Fascinating and tiring.
