What a cake and other photos






Sunrise at Angkor Wat, the largest Hindu temple in the world (now Buddhist though). The moat around the temple I found absolutely enchanting.








This is that road from Battambang to Siem Reap that we avoided bicycling. The lack of, ahem, reasonable shoulders being one of the problems.








A "fish massage." Insert feet into tank of hungry fish, and they nibble the dead skin off your feet for you. I screeched and scriggled like a little child; absolutely ticklish and totally wonderful.








Once in Saigon, enamored with the tended plantings and green space, I gave my bicycle a little shower in one of the watering devices. Lay-DEE Elise caught my facial expression right in the midst of an ill-aimed spray....haha.







Durian for sale! A fruit the size of a small suitcase, it smells to some like stinky feet drizzled with sugar syrup. It is cut up into those golden palm-sized nuggets. High in energy and "good for you", I ate a few pieces but quickly reached my quota. 














Our bicycles parked right now, in our Saigon hotel. Observe the shoe rack (for removal before walking through the hotel) and the world map!








Just a sprinkle of Saigon's motorbicyclers and the chic high-rises. Haven't seen tall buildings in some time! I kept staring at them.








Hammock on wheels.










French bakery in Saigon. Woooo woo! I told you this city was schmancy.
