Emergency Dental Work in Cambodia

While we were in Cambodia, Milo lost his two front teeth. He was 2.5 years at the time and it was a bit traumatic (for me, not him) however I am pleased to say that overall this is a pretty positive story. On the way to Europe we stopped in Siem Reap, Cambodia for a week to see Ankor Wat. We had a wonderful time and Milo (2.5yrs) and Tom (5 nearly 6) spent all their days running around the Temples of Angkor. They had a ball amongst all the old ruins and forests. I often called out to...

The ticket desk is run by corrupt and rude men who were very unwilling to help me out. They basically refused to let me combine with another family and made me buy my own private boat. Very...

Siem Reap – Temples, Ruins and Running Wild

I have seen many photos, read loads of articles and heard countless stories but nothing really encapsulates the feeling of wandering through Cambodia’ ancient ruins until you there in person. The temples are of Angkor are possibly the most magical and beautiful ruins I have had the pleasure of walking through. We hired a tuk tuk (our drivers name was Walter) and headed out to visit our first stop: The temple of Ta Prohm. This is one of most popular temples that was apparently shot to fame in the movie Tomb Raider back in the early 2000’s. It is...
