Day 1-2: Phnom Penh

The next day we discover Cambodia’s refreshing and re-invented capital, Phnom Penh, visiting the beautiful Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda. Later we explore the fascinating Khmer National Museum, and end our touring at Tuol Sleng museum, a stark reminder of the horror of Pol Pot’s reign.
