After only a day on Siem Reap we're on the move already to visit a small provincial town of Battembang. When I was planning the trip the main attraction for going there was the journey to it by boat - reputedly the most scenic in the country. Well it fully lived up to it's billing; seven hours of travel across lakes and down narrow waterways where you could really see both the natural beauty of the country and the basic lives of many of the people. Cambodia has the lowest average income in Asia at under $3000 per year and you could see the reality of this on the poor riverside communities we passed through- but balanced against this were the smiles and waves from everyone.
