午後のシルク島、エスケーププノンペン＆テンプル by トゥクトゥク

We had a lovely time with Nera on this afternoon excursion to in the main Silk Island. Nera arrived on time and we were immediately offered ice cold refreshments. Asvwe made our way to the temple She pointed out the interesting sites in the city. At the temple she fully explained everything, her English is excellent. She bought us the local suger cane drink and then it was off to the ferry over to sugar island. We were met by Molly who runs the silk farm with her family. We were shown the process of how the silk is obtained and then were treated to a demonstration of weaving. We had a go ourselves but weren't offered s job. Then off to the temple to be greeted by a monk and receive a water blessing. Again treated to some local food, banna wrapped in sticky rice. We returned to our hotel some 4 hours later. It was a really good tour, informative and interesting and Nera and our driver made the whole experience very interesting. I would highly recommend Nera as a guide for your tours.

A wonderful afternoon exploring temples and Silk Island riding in a tuktuk with my excellent guide, Neara. Tourist free and very interesting away from the bustling city of Phnom Penh. Highly recommended.

We first made the death camps and prisons of Pol Pot and in the afternoon took us Near Silk Island. It is very curious the ferry journey both to and from the airport. On the island you visit the house of a lady in which at least three generations have worked silk and temple. In the temple we received the blessing of the monk and made offerings (Neara took care of everything). Very curious.
