Trip Advisor has recently released a list of the Top Landmarks. #1, beating out Machu Picchu, was Angkor Wat. I am glad we were able to add this to our list of sites visited.

We hired a driver to take us from Kampot to Siem Reap. We could have taken a bus, but it would have been a much longer day (about a nine hour ride) with many stops back in Phnom Penh picking up all sorts of folks. We weren't keen on another long bus ride and It was not a huge price difference considering there were four of us.  

We arrived at our hotel called Rikitikitavi. The owners were inspired by the Rudyard Kipling story. We found this ironic because we just read that story together at the beginning of our trip (part of Maeve's curriculum) and Michael also just completed a poetry lesson with the children on a Kipling poem entitled "If".  We saw this as a good sign.
