Cambodia

We've made it to Vietnam after many days of excellent riding! There was even a welcoming party for us when we arrived here in Saigon....except they forgot to tell us, showed up at our hotel unannounced and instead of bringing gifts they took Julia's ipod and camera - awesome!!

We had a great time cycling from Bangkok to Phnom Penh where we visited the killing fields, shot AK-47's and went to the Tuol Sleng genocide museum. I'd have to say our time there was more depressing than anything. It's very sad seeing what people go through in these war-torn countries and makes me appreciate our safe and stable homes in Canada.

On a happier note, we're looking forward to our tour up the coast of Vietnam where we will then cut across into Laos and then return to Bangkok. I've decided not to do a Thailand posting until we get to Malaysia and will post Vietnam in a week or so, until then...
