Cambodia Killing Fields

Image
Disclaimer - the following pictures are very graphic.  This was the toughest day, March 4th,  during our whole trip...very emotionally draining.  We live such a sheltered life in Canada...we really need to appreciate our lives and lifestyle. We will start the day with a visit to Tuol Sleng prison, or S-21, which was initially a school complex in the city of Phnom Penh. It became the main interrogation center of the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge (KR) were a radical communist militia in Cambodia in the 70's and on April 17, 1975 just 2 weeks before the fall of Saigon they marched into Phnom Penh and the terror started. Their goal was to turn the country into a pure, self sufficient rural peasant society. To do that they had to rid the country of its urban and educated members of society. This included anybody with more than a rudimentary education. By the time the Vietnamese invaded the country on January 7, 1979 the KR had killed over 1.7 million people, either by s...

Maui:relaxing by the pool and whale watching

Hello again. This blog has been waiting to finish for the last 7 months. I have been waiting to download our Bull Shark dive on YouTube using a thumb drive. I have since given up on that project. If anyone interested just Google Bull Shark dive, Beqa Island, Fiji. Also the Internet is full of pictures of diving Truk Lagoon and the live-aboard dive boat, the Odyssey.  Our next and last stop on our trip is Maui. We arrived at the airport around noon and picked up our rental car and made our way out to Kannapali Shores to our hotel. Here are a few shots of the area from the balcony in front of the hotel.  The car rental agency really tried to push their convertible Mustangs or their Jeeps but the roads on Maui were too full of traffic or too windy with hairpin turns and no shoulders to pull over on. Very similar to New Zealand.  I always perceived Hawaii as a beach paradise everywhere but seeing this shoreline you are reminded that the whole island chain is m...

Highlights of Phnom Penh Cambodia To

Before we begin our blog about Phnom Penh we just had to include this shot of our cooking class on our last afternoon on our river cruise with our head Chef (sorry, we can't remember his name). Of  course Bob is the only one not paying attention...he was looking for dessert. The next morning we were packed up and ready to go. We said goodbye to our fellow passengers who were continuing on to Siem Reap. They would disembark there and return to Saigon via bus. There were some new passengers that boarded the boat at Phnom Penh and we got an update on the virus situation. We hadn't bothered with following the issue aboard the boat but things were gradually getting worse. Our next guide Chenda, was waiting for us as we docked and we were quickly whisked away for our afternoon tour....Highlights of Phnom Penh. Our first stop was at this local historical site. Local lore states that a wealthy local woman found 4 small Buddha statuettes hidden in a log that she found down b...
