CAMBODIA

REISVERSLAG   

A few impressions of a 3 weeks journey through relaxed Cambodia in 2004. 

Of course the most impressive sight is the temple complex of Angkor. But the countryside, the small villages, the markets and the beaches are also worth a visit. The fact that the people remained very friendly and easygoing, despite the horrors of the past decades, made the trip even more pleasant.
