The rest of beautiful Cambodia..

The last bit of Cambodia was a bit of a blur. A quick few days in Phnom Penh doing all of the touristy things. Beautiful, awestruck visits to the Royal Palace and heartbreaking, tearful visits to the Killing fields and S-21 prison. An overnight bus to Sihanoukville, getting severely sunburnt, a ferry ride to Koh Rong, some diving, some getting eaten by every insect imaginable, helping out teaching a class with Friends of Koh Rong organisation (go help them, they're doing great things for the island) and back to Sihanoukville for the next bus trip to Vietnam!

Okay so it wasn't so much of a blur but it was jam packed with activities! It was hard to chill out too much knowing that I was meeting my brother in Vietnam after Cambodia. I can't urge people to go to Cambodia enough though. Its a beautiful country, the people are wonderful, the food is the best and the beers are cheap!

Sok Orphanage, Siem Reap Cambodia

I spent the next big chunk of my time in Siem Reap at Soks Orphanage. I had such a great time there. Being part of a place that is a safe haven for all sorts of kids in Cambodia was so so rewarding. The kids at Soks may not have all that much but they are extremely friendly, smart and talented. My days consisted of playing games, catching falling mangoes, teaching alphabet classes, getting my hair braided into a new hairstyle every hour and dance parties!

On my second day there we got to take the kids to Angkor Wat for a Khmer New Year picnic. It was really special being welcomed into their lives so quickly, getting to know all the kids was such a fantastic experience.

My time there was loads of fun and I was very very sad to leave. I can't give more thanks to Sok for giving me a home for ten days and welcoming me into their home too. His kindness and generosity goes far beyond anyone I met on my travels. If you're ever wanting to do any volunteering in Siem Reap, actually if you're ever in Siem Reap you must must go visit Soks Orphanage and the amazing children there. I'll definitely do my very best to go back again one day:)
