Cambodia.

On looking back at our time in Cambodia one realises that it is a country struggling to establish itself after all the killing that took place in the seventies. It's one HUGE draw card is Angkor Wat.This tourist site is worthy of everything I have ever read about it and Nick, Moira, Warren and I had a marveous time visiting there. It is a photographer's dream and the four of us had loads of fun clicking away. Some do have fancier cameras than others!!
It was good to get out into the countryside too and it makes one very aware of the poverty the majority of folk live in.
We were pleased to visit the Sunshine Home for children and applaud the charities that assist this home to continue. The visit to the textile workhouse was the cherry on the top for me being so interested in fabrics. The textile industry seems to be alive and well in Cambodia.
I urge anyone who has the slightest inclination, to visit Angkor Wat soon, as the tourist industry is about to burst with the opening of many new hotels which are being built right now.
