Today was a transition day. We were up before dawn to catch a plane to Siem Reap, Cambodia. We arrived without any difficulty around noon and took a bus tour around town. Siem Reap is tourist central in Cambodia as it is the community closest to Angkor Wat. This community thrives because of tourism. It has only recovered 40% of the tourist industry since COVID shut everything down but it is still pretty busy. I

t was 34C with 73% humidity here today, so after checking in we had lunch by the pool followed by a swim. It was incredibly refreshing. The swim was followed by a film about the temples in the area, including Angkor Wat. We have two jam-packed days of touring coming up to see all that we can in the area. Stay tuned!

We leave early tomorrow so we are having an early night.
