This could be the last time

Feeling a bit sad as I sit on our veranda in the morning warmth looking out the natural beauty of Bacoma garden for probably the last time. Today we leave for Phnom Penh en route to Siem Reap for a few days then over to Luang Prabang. Bacoma is on the market. After 10 years here, Michael and family plan to return to Switzerland as soon as it sells.
All things change - but we will surely miss them and our little slice of paradise.

This hammock is made of recycled T-shirts. Excellent - and very comfortable

Hoopoos are occasional visitors to the garden

Cute - baby Tokay

Terrible tragedy this week in Kep when a six-storey building under construction collapsed, killing 36 people. Construction workers and their families often live on site so many of the people killed and injured were women and children. The PM came to coordinate the rescue services and these were his helicopters on the local football pitch

We visited an abandoned resort in the National Park.

It's a bit too remote for us to consider for our stay next year - if they reopen it.

These birdwing butterflies just will not pose for photographs so I was quite pleased with this one! 

This is my morning view

A fond farewell. (And spot the passing kingfisher!)

I'd better go and pack.
