Phnom Penh Part 1

The Cambodian capital! There are really two parts to this post. Firstly and quite importantly while we were here we checked out the Tuol Sleng prison. Also known as S-21 and home of some of the worst atrocities of the Pol Pot regime, although not the most enjoyable experience its one i would recommend to every traveller in Cambodia. This along with the ride out to the killing fields just outside of town has to be one of the most moving things ive seen. I was almost physically ill when you walk around the monuments that you notice that there are still bits of cloth and bones coming up through the dirt paths that you walk along. The top photo has a big tower like monument in the background, this is actually filled with 20,000 of the skulls that have been uncovered from this small stretch of land. Didnt feel to snap happy however so didnt take that many photos.
