Siem Reap Cambodia

We rode our bikes to visit the local plant nursery to buy plants for the vegie garden at ACODO. The road followed the river and Robert got some good pics along the way. This little boy was catching fish, not very big, but he was pretty happy.

We rode our bikes further to the Tonie Sap lake. An easy ride on the way there in the morning but when we returned it was early afternoon and was it hot riding bikes.


We took a boat trip to see the floating village. Siem Reap has a problem with constant flooding so these villagers solve this problem by living on boats. They just go up and down with the water level. There were several schools and a floating buddhist temple even. A general store, hotel, restaurants and a battery recharging store. Their electricity is provided either by battery or some have solar power. There were also many TV antenaes so some have all the luxuries.
