I think I'll just to stick to the pictures of our short 10 day trip to Cambodia this time which for Sof and I took in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap (Angkor Wat). When Sofie headed off to Bangkok to do her massage course I went deeper into the Heart of Darkness by taking the slow boat to Battambang but the photo evidence on this trip is limited. I came back to PP and then HCMC and the whole journey seemed some kind of beautiful dream carved out of variously hued stone, faces staring out of the early morning mists, monks idling among ancient temples. From above it must look like some sort of crazy termite mound. We didn't manage to look at it from above but it would be interesting to see the satellite view.

There are a couple of pages of photographs to tantalise (or bore depending on your particular interests) you with. Just remember that these were selected over hundreds of others!! See you soon....

Well Done
Hello there Warren and Sophie, My dear travelers…….I keep on receiving your photos and you are letting me know of your whereabouts and I’m thankful for it…..and Warren you do have a talent for description. You are able to transfer the climate and picture without the picture without a thousand words. In fact if you had taken photos it might had been put down. Not that your photos are bad, on the contrary I think you have improved although you probably haven’t realized. But I was drifted away in that forest of yours and I could imagine any picture I wanted. By now you must have gathered that I am not coming over. I never left Greece…..Too involved with my new properties. I have my doubts if I’m doing well…..but I suppose I have to go through it. It was my wish for a long time. The problem is though that the opportunity came about 15 years late. I feel I am running out of time. I wish I had 20 more years to be …..youngish so to speak……That’s why I love what you are doing and that you are doing it now and not 20 years later…….Well Done….. PS Have a Good Easter.In Greece Easter is celebrated as much as you do in Xmass because sinse Seasons in This part of the world are very distinct Easter triggers the begining of the spring with the fpowers blossoming and birds coming back from south.....Also is selebrated life and love............
