After lunch we travelled by little bus to the shores of Tonle Sap. Which literally means large river (tonle) fresh, not salty (sap) 'This region refers to a seasonally inundated freshwater lake and the 120 km long Tonle Sap river that eventually connects to the Mekong River in Viet Nam' It is known for the floating fishing village, the Prek Toal bird sanctuary (which we did not see) and unfortunately the Tonle Sap massacre (1993). Which I didn't know about until we got home, thankfully.What I did know about is the fishing village and am excited to share those pictures with you. As we were there at the end of the dry season the water is VERY low...our boat almost got stuck. This is not the kind of water that I would ever want to go into. I'm glad that our boat captain was able to get us out of the muck...please enjoy the following photos
