March 15, 2011 Mekong River Cruise

This morning we visit the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh.  We traveled by cyclo, these are carriages where you sit in the front and a fellow sits behind you and pedals.  We visited the Royal Palace and the National Museum.

In the afternoon we visited the "Killing Fields" made famous by the movie of the same name.  It was a very sombre visit.  Much like visiting the death camps in Germany from the Second World War but this was much more recent.

In the evening on the boat we had a presentation by some Cambodian orphans showing traditional dances.
