Phnom Penh  is the capital city of Cambodia. We flew in from Bangkok and arrived in the evening. What should have been a twenty minute taxi ride to our hotel took an hour. For some reason, traffic was brutal. Fortunately, Michael booked a lovely hotel that was hidden amidst the madness. 

Warning: The following post contains graphic photos and deals with disturbing content related to atrocities that occurred during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia where millions were killed in a place more commonly known as 'The Killing Fields.' 

Every now and again we have to deal with uncomfortable subjects.  It's okay, it's a part of life. Every tour can't be on the scale of Machu Picchu or a palace or a more simple lovely botanical garden. Every now and again we have to face the harsh reality of history.
