Anna and Sara had a few things on their bucket-list for a holiday in Cambodia, including experiencing the Angkor temple complex, learning a bit of the country’s history and relaxing before flying home. They managed to visit Angkor Wat and a few other monuments, and also to snorkel on the island of Koh Rong. They were pleasantly surprised at the young art scene of Battambang, and humbled when learning about the Khmer Rouge in Battambang and Phnom Penh. Their personal highlight? The quick stopover in Kampot, as the peaceful river town had a lot of charm and few tourists – just the right spot to unwind & explore!
