Back to school day!

Today was going to be a special day. We started off with a dance off to get ready for transfer. No gitty up and wait. This was wait and dance.

Our first stop was Silk Island. 80 percent of the 10,000 people who live on the island are engaged in the silk business. As we walked to the first stop we saw many more of those tombs where people leave the ashes of their loved ones.

Then we walked for a while and came across the local 7 11.

We also walked through a local market.

Then we came to the school we were visiting. Here is our guide and the school headmaster.

Here is the school.

Here they are singing to us.

Here is captain at a table with a student. She is 12. She spoke English and wanted to practice!

Here is the Princess with a student.

Check out this video.

From there we walked to the silk community. Some local people.

Here is the silk factory.

Here are the steps on silk production.

From there we walked back to the boat and saw field after field. Here is a taro field.

Then back on the boat. Note the OSHA approved loading dock.

Upon boarding we had a lecture on the history of Cambodia.

Then a demo on how to use a Cambodian scarf.

Here we are getting ready at our nightly cocktail party. They are discussing all the trips we can take.

Some kids who want to join us.

Some of the crew.

And here is our ship manager cleaning the area outside the vessel to give us the best view of the shore.

We ended the night with a talent show by the staff.

Until the morning folks. Princess said it was her best day ever on a AMA cruise.
