Yesterday we had a new Tuk-Tuk driver since the old one didn't show up =(. A half day temples with monkeys (they were eating mommys backpack) and elefants with a crazy Spanish girl who got wiped of the picture by the elefant's ears =). Robin and I had to take breaks by staying in the tuk-tuk since we were 'templed out' and mommy decided not to take a job as an archeologist. The temples at sunset were great and we heard the loudest and weirdest crickets (zicades) on our way back down the big hill through the jungle. Their sounds were like electronic signals. Our ears were ringing.

This morning we got up early again to reach the 7 o'clock boat. Our guide book mislead us regarding the length of the boat ride. Instead of 3.5 hours it took 8.5 and we ran out of food. The trip was great though, through the biggest lake in SE Asia (Tonle Sap)and then along a river. We could see the floating villages that means people living on the water away from the banks. A boat with 2 boys and their daddy approached us, the 3 yr old jumped into our boat and sold cokes while the other one - maybe 5 yrs old - played with a big snake (1.5 m long). It was quite a little performance. We reached Cambodia's 2nd biggest town , Battambang, hungry when at least 20 sellers awaited us at the boat station to lead us to a hotel with tuk-tuks. The mom of the French family from the boat (12 and 16 yrs old boys) was completely shocked by that crowd and started to cry. This was strange. So overall the countryside and scenery was gorgeous but strenous. After check-in we hurried to eat in a small place that supports street children to give them a better future off the streets. This is really good because lots of the kids do not have the chance of going to school . This is sad!
