PHNOM PENH
court in The Hague set up to deal with genocidal maniacs, of not only war crimes but also mass crimes against humanity, sadly it appears not. If it can’t act because it’s bound by reasons of international law and is not allowed to deal with cases such as this, then it should be able to.

After leaving the museum we went to the café over the road to get a drink and sit with the rest of the deeply shocked people who had just witnessed what we had. The café was a world away from the horrors of across the road and enabled us gather our thoughts and discuss our feelings and outrage.

Next of our list of things to do and see was The Royal Place, which was incredibly impressive and lucky to survive Cambodia’s recent turbulent history. It reminded us in parts of The Forbidden City in
Beijing. The golden buildings and spires glistened beautifully in the bright sunshine. It looked like the rain of the previous day was only a blip as it was a brilliant sunny day, kind of hard for us to believe it is November!

After this we headed back to our hotel for some food and some relaxing, we were feeling pretty drained after all of the days events. We leave for Siem Reap at 6.30 a.m. in the morning so an early night is definitely in order, but now its 10 p.m. and I’ve just finished a very emotional diary and have to go and pack before it gets too late!
