Last week was the luxurious segment of our journey. We were aboard the Mekong Pandaw cruising from Vietnam just outside Ho Chi Minh/Saigon into Cambodia to Kamphong Cham, where we head to Angkor Wat. Delightful ship, great crew, delicious food and a really nice group of passengers. we made friends with two couples from Belgium and one lovely couple from Berlin, Germany.
I have always loved Cruises as a form of vacation and transportation together. I have also been sad that I was born too late to enjoy the heyday of the gorgeous ocean liners. I felt like this small wooden ship with it's luxurious deck, dining room and the downstairs spa, movie room, fitness room and library gave me a little taste of what it used to be like. There were only 47 passengers and 27 crew.
Every day there were one to two excursions to various Temples, Wats, Pagodas, Villages, Floating towns, Floating Markets, fish farms. Kim went to the Killing Fields and genocide musem. That day I opted for cooking class and foot massages-yes I wussed out. But, I had a much more relaxed and uplifting day than the others.
