So that is it for another year.

Writing from Hong Kong airport and about to  add a few more photographs to relieve the boredom of 10 hours transit time here but everything on the blog taskbar is in Chinese.  So the remaining pictures will stay on my computer.

Until next time....

Rules in the Temple loos

Photographs taken at  Banteay Srei yesterday,  This 10th century temple pre-dates Angkor Wat and is very much smaller It is built of red sandstone and covered in intricate carvings.

My last day of temple visiting with a fellow volunteer Jen.  Vibol the tuk tuk driver drove us first to the archaelogical site of Kbal Spean which involved a 1500 metre climbing over giant tree roots.  It felt so still and peaceful  and a privilege to be allowed to share such beautiful natural surroundings. I managed  in flip flops but it would have  been more sensible to have worn walking sandals (I don't have any!)

Yoni and Linga. ( Lots of  fascinating info. on Wikipedia)

and  through  beautiful jungle paths to a small pretty waterfall and lots of fascinating ancient underwater carvings






















More photographs to be added when internet speed is a little quicker

Some memories from last week

Hens in the next door classroom

I showed my class some finger games and they loved doing whoops Johnny really fast on their fingers.  

Each day on my way to school I would pass this old chair on the river bank.   Families gather round it in the evenings

The little ones were thrilled to be allowed to try out the new playground at the disability house which was put up last Friday.

 For most of them it was the first time they had ever experienced such play equipment

The cafe we ate at in the post below was open to the river at the back
