Pics from Bokor

Here are the pics from our trip to the Bokor Hill Station. The mist coming up from the valley definitely added to the ghost town mystique. We had a great guide for this trip as well. He had fascinating stories. When he was 18 he and his family were living in the countryside and one day he arrived home from working about half an hour after they did. When he got there they were all gone. The Khmer Rouge had executed both parents and both grandparents just minutes before. He fled immediately into the jungle where he lived for almost 2 years never sleeping in the same place twice and not being able to cook due to the smoke attracting attention. All this because his father picked a potato when he wasn't supposed to, because they were starving. Unreal. The Khmer Rouge eventually took over Bokor and turned it into a lookout post and a prison. You can see the edge of a cliff with the mist rolling up that is just behind the old hotel. They would execute people by pushing them over the edge to save on bullets. It is quite a steep drop hundreds of feet to the ground. Many ghosts in this ghost town.
