Today we left Phnom Penh to make our way up to Siem Reap via a motorboat on the Mekong River delta that flows through Cambodia and Vietnam and is they major source of water for the rice and fishing economy. It was a great way to see the way of life for the people along the river both on land and the floating villages. The boat was suppose to take about 6 hours, but the propeller of our boat got caught in a large fishing net in the middle the large lake the river flows through so we were stranded for about 2 hours while the fisherman untangled us. We got to Siem Reap later than we thought so we hired a Tuk - tuk to take us around the park of Angkor Wat which was beautiful. Again we got to go through the countryside and villages to see the people. That night we went to traditional Khmer dinner and dance. I think the best way to describe this day is through my pictures.
