16 Jan 09   Siem Reap - Angkor Wat

This morning head to Angkor Wat in an air conditioned car with your guide. Explore this majestic temple throughout the morning while it is still cool and has fewer tourists. Return to Journeys Within for lunch and a nap.

Brandon Ross, founder of JWOC, will take you to the squatters village located behind Journeys Within B&B. Here you can see the poverty that most visitors to Angkor Wat never experience. The recent increase in jobs and opportunities as well as dwindling lands in the villages have forced many people to the city where life can be very difficult with no government support. Brandon or Andrew, our director JWOC can tell you about the struggles these families face and what JWOC is doing to help. You can see wells put in through guest donations as well as meet individuals benefiting from the microfinance project.

In the afternoon head to Angkor Thom, the famous walled city and see the many temples within it's borders, including the fascinating Bayon temple.Later in the afternoon you will visit Banteay Kdei and Ta Prohm, two of the prettiest temples in the complex.

17 Jan 09   Siem Reap - Banteay Srei and Tonle Sap

Wake up early and head out to watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat, then grab a traditional breakfast of noodle soup like the locals do at local stall.

This morning set off with your guide to Banteay Srei, the intricately carved temple just 30 km beyond Angkor Wat. On your way back to town stop at the Land Mine Museum, a rather humble look at the land mine problem, past and present, in Cambodia.

After a rest or swim drive through rural Cambodia to the Tonle Sap Lake where you will take a boat ride to visit the floating village and a Cambodian fish farm.
