Elsewhere in Cambodia

After seeing the temples at Angkor, we did a quick trip through the major spots in Cambodia. There was sleepy Siem Reap, dirty and bustling Phnom Penh, and the profoundly laid back beaches of Sihanoukville. There was so much more to the country that I didn't get to see, and I'm looking forward to spending more time exploring Cambodia one day.

I started off my backpacking trip in Cambodia, paying a visit to the temple complexes of Angkor. There is simply no place like this on earth. The history, architecture, and beauty of the temples is endlessly fascinating, and the sheer scale of it all is incredible.
