Indochina.
Despite its recent turbulent history, it still maintains
considerable charm. A half day city tour acquaints us
with some major sights of
Phnom Penh.
The private quarters of the
Royal
Palace
are now home to the royal family and are therefore very
close to the public. At the northern area of the palace
grounds is Silver Pagoda, the most sacred temple
in the country. We visit both structures as well as the
