The flight was nerve racking for me. It was a puddle jumper and it made me more then nervous. I wasn't even lucky enough to have someone sitting next to me to freak out to. The airport is beautiful. It reminded me of a Thailand temple. I am staying at the Viroth Hotel (a small 7 room boutique hotel). It is quite charming. I feel very safe here. The Old Market is close to my hotel so I walked over and have been doing some shopping, will eat dinner, get a foot massage and meet Susan (the volunteer from Catalyst who introduced me to the organization) and her boyfriend at the Buddha Lounge this evening. Oh, and for any of you who hadn't heard, my best friend who planned to meet me in Vietnam after the expedition and fly over to Cambodia with me emailed me 3 days into my aid expedition to cancel her trip. So, I am solo on the last leg of my trip which is a first for me.
Tomorrow morning I will be rising early to head out around 5:30 am to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat. I have hired an English speaking guide for 2 days. Apparently it has only been 14 years since Cambodia has opened its doors to tourists and only 10 years ago that the area around Angkor Wat (series of temples) that all land mines were cleared.
Well I am off to get my $3 foot massage.....
