Angkor Wat at Sunset

Lovely sunset shot of Angkor Wat. Nice mirror effect thanks to the most recent flooding. (Taken with my 5s camera.)

Finally! A chance to relax by the pool!

We wanted to hang out at the pool or go to the beach while in Hoi An but we ended up too busy to do it. Our hotel pool was closed for renovations. We could use the hotel’s beach resort but that was a 40 minute round trip. I know, excuses, excuses. Ironically, this morning when we left the staff were blessing the pool so it could finally reopen at 8:30 AND it was raining!

All that’s changed now that we are in Siem Reap! We have no plans until Monday when we leave on a three-day tour of some remote temples.

So happy to be in Siem Reap!

We have arrived in Siem Reap and it feels great! I absolutely love it here. Part of it is the hotel – Pavillon d’Orient – and part of it is the wonderful Khmer history here.

New country, new SIM cards!

Timothy and I do not have electronics that we can use internationally, but John does. He decides to purchase SIM cards at the Siem Reap airport. Boys and their toys.

Cats of Vietnam

We see lots of pet cats and dogs but it’s odd: everyone seems to ignore them so I’m not sure if they are pets or not. Weird. Anyway, here are a few of the cats I’ve met in Vietnam. Not very many but they all seem puzzled by my treatment of them. I guess they don’t get much love from their owners.

Da Nang Airport

Here is a collection of available drinks at the cafe in the Da Nang International Airport. This is in the ticket counter area before we go through security. Nothing but souvenirs once we are past security and in the gate area.
