"It's a small world!"



Due to that early start, the temples took on different atmospheres from the previous day. On Monday 1st Oct, we accompanied a steady stream of visitors to Ta Prohm before lunch. As we arrived at 7am the next day, the temple reclaimed by nature was a haven of peace and reflection. And then, entering the courtyard… “No, it’s not him is it?”




Isn’t it amazing how you can be so far from home and yet meet someone from home?!

We’re wondering how many people we’ve actually missed as this was the third incident which leads one to cry “It’s a small world!”

Dubai – share a car with the Wilsons (knowledge of mutual people in Keswick School and locality)
Thailand – meet Anna, a friend from Carlisle
Cambodia – meet Ben, a friend who lives in London

Can there be any more small world occasions? Well, when you’re in the capital of Cambodia and you’re taken to someone’s house for a meal and you can have a conversation about Aspatria because they’ve been there and have a cousin living there, I think there already has been!

It's only a small world cause you're on the tourist trail! Get off the conveyor belt and I bet you don't bump into a soul you've ever met before! The temples look amazing! Those trees are WOWOWOWOWOW! Mrs B

Very envious. Can we change places.We might visit a rustic place that will bring tears to Phileas' eyes. think it is called Aspatria. Any takers. You might meet more people you know there and it is off the tourist track. If you're not interested have fun

Hello Princess.
Sounds like you had fun at Bitts Park. You must have had some sunshine did you? Have the leaves on the trees changed colour yet? In Vietnam where I am, they don't have seasons like ours. It's the rainy season at the moment. It's very sunny and hot, but it rains most afternoons. We are going to a puppet show tonight - the puppets dance on the water. I'll try and take a photo to put on the blog for you to see.
Lots of Love to you and Ian. Mrs P. xx
