We like many South East Asian countries as you may be aware, and hope this time in Cambodia to see things we missed last visit and return to some favourite spots.
Our first stop is Siem Reap in Cambodia where we hope to see some more remote temples which are part of the Angkor Complex.
 In Siem Reap we are staying in a hotel which is supposed to be a bit unusual , even eccentric by some reports we've read. A pond, waterfall and fountain in the bathroom sounds really cool to me. It's called Terrasse des Eléphants Boutique Hotel  take a look.The bathroom which is sort of like a mini Bayon Temple is on a raised platform with flimsy curtains, it feels like you are on stage when you have a shower or clean your teeth. If you like privacy, forget it! If you are an exhibitionist, then you will be in heaven ! The toilet however, is private.

The latest weather reports show sunny days with temperatures between 25 to 32 degrees. Sounds a lot better than what we have had for our summer and it's their winter.
Spend summer in Cambodia ? um...errrr I don't think so.

After months of flooding in Seam Reap during the monsoon season it's now the dry season.The town itself was flooded three times. I think it's wise to check on usual weather patterns before going to Asian countries ( or any country really) unless you like extreme humidity, heat and floods. In Luang Prabang in Laos it's getting quite cool at night but warm sunny days, sounds good to me.
Because of my spine problems we're trying just to spend 4 or 5 hours or so sight seeing, then take it easy the rest of the day.


Oh Yes, and about the hotel, it is quite eccentric to say the least, but we like it very much.
