Flying through the trees

After a late-ish night out at pub street and pacing the streets of siem reap trying to find an ATM which doesn't charge to withdraw cash (I doubt they exist here), we woke up early again to go zip lining through the jungle! We went with a company called 'flight of the Gibbon', who have centres set up in Bangkok, Chiang-mai and now Siem reap. The one here is the only high ropes/zip wire course to be set up in a world heritage site. It only opened a month ago, and is placed within the rainforest surrounding the Angkor temples (they had to ensure that no temples could be seen though). They also managed to fix it up without attaching a single bolt into a tree - it's all attached by friction. 

After lunch, we headed on to 'Honour Village Cambodia', a foster home for children. I couldn't believe it had only been set up three years ago! All the children are so friendly and welcoming, and speak such good English. We delivered some boxes of toothpaste and toothbrushes. Everyone seemed like one big tight-knit family. Today they had a big leaving party for a couple of volunteers who had been there for a year, so there were loud speakers and party games and lots of excited children. 

I cannot believe we've been here for a whole week already! It's gone so quickly and I feel sad that we only have two more weeks left. What's more, we still need to sort out our travel plans and book a flight from somewhere(!) to Singapore, so we can get home!! 

Oh well, must get prepared for another hard working week of screaming children and dentistry......
