Still somewhere in Siem Reap...

Continuing our adventure in Angkor and exploring the temples all over the place, we have decided as well to visit the "floating village", which is on the biggest lake with sweet water in Asia. Taking bravely our tuk-tuk driver at 7am (like going to the office), we started our journey and we were driving slowly towards the non-existing roads again. The place was rewarding! We felt like in national geographic documentary, we have taken hundreds of photos (which you can admire together with the Angkor temples on the photo link). It was like a different world - people having their houses on boats, living their simple lifes on water (it is easy to move though:), together with a small culture shock (which we were as well expecting) Different life, different world. Cambodia is completely different to Thailand, even though it is so close, on the other site it is too far from anything you can imagine. Lenka has as well refreshed or actually added some geographical and historical information about this place as they were almost non existing and she felt that if the small kids around her know where Czech republic is and what is the capital city, she needs to improve:)

Tomorrow morning (again 7 o'clock - i think we don't get to relax at all:) we will take a bus for another journey for 5-6 hours towards the Phnom Penh, city with lots of differents faces. So again we are not sure what to expect, but we will let you know.
Now we will go and enjoy our hotel, which we prebooked in France and it feels like holidays (this is definitely not a place for backpackers - but it is nice to have a nice place to stay)...

Takze mili ctenari, teste se na historky o neexistujicich silnicich a lidech zijicich v domech na vode. Verte mi, ze bych si zde vzala kazde dite domu a vychovala bych ho podle evropskych standartu - otazka je ale - jestli by jim bylo lip. Asi ne.... Kambodia se vubec neda srovnavat s Thajskem. Nevedela jsem, co ocekavat a kulturni sok, ktery jsem zazila, si budu urcite pamatovat. Nenechte se vyvest z omylu - chramy v Angkoru a plovouci vesnice jsou uzasny a opravdu si budete pripadat jako v dokumentu na BBC nebo Discovery channel, ale ta prava Kambodia ma jeste mnoho co dohanet....
