Brian and I haven't travelled anywhere exotic in a while, so for this winter vacation we decided to head to the uncharted (for us) territory of Cambodia. The country has a long and rich history quite apart from its recent suffering under the Khmer Rouge, and we intend to make the most of our time savouring the best it has to offer.
Wanting to combine our love of travelling with our other interests, such as photography and motorbiking, we did some research and opted to hire a couple of off-road motorbikes and a tour guide. We will be spending eight days on the road (or in the jungle!), where we will have a chance to explore some regions not on most tourist maps of the country.
Before the tour, we are only going to have one day in Phnom Penh, the nation's capital; but after the tour, we are definitely scheduling at least a few days at Siem Reap, from where we will be sure to go to the famous temple of Angkor Wat. And somewhere in the middle of all this, we plan to relax for a few days at the beach! All in all, it promises to be an exciting time with lots of adventure and some good photo opportunities.
We fly out on Sunday morning, December 20th and return on January 8th.
