I’m not a great swimmer so when I heard we’d be doing a boat trip today I was a little concerned. But I’m really glad I went along!! After passing through Roulous village the tuk-tuk driver took us as far as he could along a little track that led down to Tonle Sap lake. I don’t know my starboard from my port so I decided to just sit up front for a good view. Our “captain” was a young kid but he certainly knew how to get around on the waterways. In no time we caught sight of the unusual village of Kompong Phluk.
We disembarked to wander around exploring their unusual way of life. Not only am I not a good swimmer but I don’t have a head for heights, so visiting these folks at home would be a bit too much for a donkey guy like me to manage.
Exploring the nearby swamps involved a canoe trip! After the heat of the midday sun it was cool and refreshing to glide around in the shade of the trees.
That evening I wanted to see the night life in Siem Reap so we went off to the night market.
