Cambodia National Day

07 January 2013 | Phonm Penh
APW; 75 and partly cloudy
What a delightful group we have: 6 from Sydney, Australia, 2 from Alice Springs (!) Australia, 3 Brits, another American couple from Chicago and us. We began our day learning about the wworst part of Cambodian history knowing it was all up hill from there. A visit to the prison camp of the Kymer Rouge. What is amazing is to see the kind of atrocities that happened in our lifetime and to meet an acrual survivor of the camp who showed us his cell and described his experience while imprisoned. Chilling! Then tothe Killing Fields, ugh, but real. After a delicious lunch a brief visit by the Palace (closed for the holiday), but an incredible view of the $1.2 million US dollar funeral pyre that was being built for the cremation of the recently deceased King next month. It will all go up in flames! A fascinating walk through their sculpture Museum and back to the hotel to regroup for the evening. FUN group dinner at the FCC (foreign correspondent club) with magnificent views of the river.
