Today was a relaxed start today, after all the drama last night I don't think any of us were in a hurry to get out and explore

By midday kate, Andy and I went of to the killing fields of Choeung Ek, the plan was to the to start at S21 where all the prisoners were held and tortured but the tuk tuk driver took us straight to the killing fields.

I think he did us a favour, neither one of us wanted to go to the prison after we had spent time at the killing fields. There's not a lot really to say about them, they are what they are and its a very hard and emotional place to visit. You have the option to hire an audio tour which explains about what happened which we did and walk round at your own pace.

Reccomend anyone that heading to Phnom Penh should really go if only to understand what the Cambodians have been through and not that long ago....
