Hot hazy day in Cambodia. Drive to Otres pagoda.........working Buddist temple........surrounding area very run down, people living in poor conditions, and much garbage. Stop at Phsar Leu market, local produce and lots of dried meat and fish.....somewhat smelly !! Next stop at Wat Leu pagoda also a working temple..Beautiful reclining dead Buddha statue. Also new monster Buddha being built. Last stop Ocheteal beach resort where I paddled in the South China Sea. Sat for a while sipping soft drinks and beers. Took photos of Golden Lions at a roundabout from bus window. Cambodia was badly bombed in two different wars and it has struggled to lift the standard of living . However its economy is on the rise and you can see areas of development just needing infusions of money to be completed
