Appointment with Angkor

The Rendezvous: first impressions The first thing that strikes when you look out of the flight's window on the way to Siem Reap, is the lush green land cut across by meandering rivers like huge anacondas. Cambodia's richness surprised us from the start. And they say it's a poor country! The Cambodian Theme : As green as it gets. June being the off-season for tourists, roads were crowd free. The weather was a typical tropical one, hot and humid. Occasional downpour offered some temporary respite from the scorching heat. First glimpse of the city, totally traffic free roads The City  Bikes and tuktuks are the lifelines of the city. Transport was readily available and USD was accepted everywhere. Most cab & tuktuk drivers speak decent English. The country is visitor friendly and encourages tourism. Our Royal Ride - Mr Chea's Tuktuk
