Tuesday April 15th - Monk at Angkor Wat

We have had another amazing day at the temples in Angkor Wat. It was quite warm even when we headed out at 9:00 a.m. this morning, but the scenery in the temples made up for the heat. We also had a bonus photo opportunity as we had a monk that spent some time allowing us to photograph him this morning.

The balance of our day was spent having a leisurely lunch in the old market followed by a short drive into the country side to see how rural Cambodia lives. 

We are now preparing for our journey back to Canada, we fly from Siem Reap at 11:25 p.m. via Seoul, Korea.  

Below are a few images from our last day of our Vietnam and Cambodia Photo Tour.  We would like to thank everyone at home for following our blog.  Our next photo tour departs for Yosemite and San Francisco on April 24th so make sure to check back for stories and images from our next adventure.  Good night from all of the Trekkers getting ready to head home from Cambodia.
