Our journey through Cambodia was intense, surprising and touching \u2013 and sometimes just hot! We got to know the country at its own pace, moving between temples that are thousands of years old, steaming cookshops and moments of silence. This logbook recounts our encounters, explorations and short breaks day after day.

The flight is short and relaxed, and soon we are in the Cambodian heat. A bus takes us from the airport to the centre for about an hour. We experience the slightly crazy but friendly confusion of the Cambodian streets for the first time.   <\/p><p>Once we arrive at the bus station, we continue by tuk-tuk. Our driver is called Poly, and he is very friendly and on the same wavelength as us. We exchange numbers \u2013 maybe we&#8217;ll do our temple tour with him!  <\/p><p>Our hotel is small and cute, and very cosy. While Carlo disappears briefly into the 7-Eleven next door, I hop into the shower. After a day of travelling, you need a little break.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dae25ac e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"dae25ac\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3462a09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3462a09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 2: Art and Khmer charm<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c34d610 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c34d610\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The day begins with a mountain of laundry. We drop off almost ten kilos of it. Fortunately, there are always tuk-tuks waiting outside the hotel, so it&#8217;s easy to get to the Old Market.  <\/p><p>There, we immerse ourselves in the vibrant hustle and bustle of the market, surrounded by fabrics, food and souvenirs. Carlo discovers a sandstone statue which he immediately falls in love with. We then end up at the Little Red Fox Caf\u00e9. It&#8217;s stylish, the coffee is great, and the brownie is the icing on the cake.   <\/p><p>Next item on the to-do list: The hairdresser! We have to say that the result is impressive. Afterwards, we stroll through the charming and lovingly designed &#8216;Made in Cambodia Market&#8217;.  <\/p><p>In the afternoon, we take a short break at the hotel to write to Poly about the temple tour. In the evening, we go out again: first, we eat bao buns (so good!), then we go to Pub Street for a drink, and finally, we stroll around the Night Market. Back at the hotel, we watch a documentary about Angkor Wat \u2013 getting ready for tomorrow!  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

\u2013 it&#8217;s time for the legendary temple tour! Poly is waiting for us outside to take us to the ticket counter. Shortly afterwards, we are standing in front of <a href=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/en\/bucket-list-moments\/angkor-wat-the-heart-of-a-forgotten-empire\/\"><strong>Angkor Wat<\/strong><\/a>, watching the sun slowly rise. Although it&#8217;s crowded, the interplay of light over the towers is magical and makes up for everything. The documentary from the previous evening has paid off. We recognise details, understand the history better, and soak up the atmosphere. Not only is Angkor Wat the most famous temple, it also looks like a huge stone history book with endless wall reliefs and an almost supernatural atmosphere. Its size and symmetry are impressive, and the more you look, the more details you notice.       <\/p><p>Next, we move on to the <strong>Bayon Temple<\/strong>, which is very special. Wherever you go, you are surrounded by stone faces with gentle smiles, as if they know something you don&#8217;t yet understand. At the <strong>Baphuon Temple<\/strong>, only Carlo climbs the steps, breathing heavily. The heat is increasing! Thankfully, Poly has brought enough water with him &#8211; unlike our single bottle &#8211; and he laughs more and more at how exhausted we look.    <\/p><p><strong>Ta Keo<\/strong> is a massive temple mountain with extremely steep steps. Carlo climbs up alone and comes back down drenched in sweat. The temple was never completed, giving it a very special, raw appearance.  <\/p><p><strong>Ta Prohm<\/strong> , the temple with the strangler figs and jungle-like atmosphere, looks like something from another film. It&#8217;s incredibly beautiful there! It&#8217;s fascinating to see how the jungle is reclaiming the walls. The huge roots look like living sculptures. Finally, we visit Banteay Kdei, which is also wonderful. It&#8217;s a little quieter there, and the beautiful courtyard has a meditative feel to it. Many parts of the temple are dilapidated, but this is what gives it its charm. We are gobsmacked. Poly teases us: \u201cDo you want to do the big tour now?\u201d Eh &#8230; no \u2026 After more than six hours on our feet and countless steps, we good to go to the hotel again.<\/p><p>Back at the hotel, we have some snacks first. Then, disaster strikes: a power cut! The air conditioning breaks down and we continue to sweat \u2013 this time in our room. In the evening, we treat ourselves to a fantastic meal at &#8216;WILD&#8217;. The &#8216;Wild Wild West&#8217; spring rolls are absolutely amazing. It was a day for the history books!     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d5a870 elementor-arrows-position-inside

Not bad!   <\/p><p>Our next surprise awaits us in Phnom Penh: our hotel is absolutely fantastic.

The museum is located in the centre of the city. It used to be a school, then a place of horror. Our guide calmly leads us through the former classrooms. She speaks matter-of-factly yet personally, even sharing details of her own childhood under the regime. We are deeply impressed by her strength. We see the bare cells, photos of the victims, and rules hanging on the walls. It&#8217;s difficult to absorb everything, but it&#8217;s important not to suppress any of it.        <\/p><p>To unwind, we visit the Backyard Caf\u00e9, where we enjoy delicious food and receive a vegan cookbook as a gift. Carlo had been before and loved it. We drink cold coconut milk, eat bread with guacamole &#8211; which Carlo accidentally oversalted completely with the screwed-on shaker &#8211; and take a deep breath.  <\/p><p>Back at the hotel, we take a short break. Then the rain comes. For dinner, we go to Pizza 4Ps, which we know from Hanoi \u2013 the food is delicious and familiar. On the way back, we get caught in another shower. But somehow that also suits the day.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8380a3b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8380a3b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"4096\" height=\"2304\" src=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng.jpg\" class=\" attachment-full size-full wp-image-17121\" alt=\"Tuol Sleng Genozid-Museum\" srcset=\"https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng.jpg 4096w, https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/destary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tuol_sleng-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4096px) 100vw, 4096px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Tuol Sleng Genozid-Museum <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1a5c3d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f1a5c3d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-066eeca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"066eeca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 7: More history &amp; a quiet conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef65875 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ef65875\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We are about to embark on another journey back into the past.

This time, we use an audio guide to help us make sense of what we hear. The atmosphere is oppressive and eerily silent.
