Day 2 - 23 October




A relaxing breakfast before taking a walk through the streets. The overhead wires don't really pass Workplace Health and Safety. Rachel arrived earlier than we thought and she spent the morning sleeping off her trip from the UK. I took photos of the beautiful patterns of folded towels in the motel room. Too cute.

We headed to the airport at lunch time, ate a lunch from the eatery and checked in for our flight to Phonm Penh.




What a culture shock! Arriving in the Cambodian capital was an attack on every sense. I was overwhelmed by the heat, the dirt, the noise of horns beeping, the smells, the lack of hygiene, the decrepit look of the buildings and the poverty and beggars everywhere.There just don't seem to be footpaths or perhaps there are but there is so much junk on each footpath that you end up walking on the road, which is really dangerous.

  1. Hope you adjusted quickly and culture shock didn't stop you enjoying the time there.
