Phnom Penh




It's the day after Christmas and we are spending the day at the Butterfly Garden which is a lovely cafe and bar in a lush garden with butterflies hanging out. They are very beautiful and the place was very relaxing after all that boozing. I had a healthy salad with balsamico - yum yum! - and then we said goodbye to Hiroko, who is off to a wedding in Vietnam. Bye bye Hiroko! Poor Tom ...

Off to Phnom Penh for us and Sarah, while Tom sorts out his flights so he can come to Vietnam and surprise Matt with us.

The journey to PP was interesting. We went on a local bus and it was very busy. It had aircon though - wow! and a telly. I wish it hadn't had a telly... We ended up sitting on the speaker and Sarah had to sit in front of the speaker and all the time it was blaring either really bad music or transmitting the rubbish from the telly. We watched horrible music videos which all sounded like dooodle diiidle dooodle dooo dooo doodle dooodle deeee dooo dooo and then watched a Cambodian Comedy. It was so bad. All the men had moustaches which were obviously fake and very big and everyone just shouted at each other the whole time! All the Cambodians on the bus were peeing themselves laughing though... hmmm.

After about six hours, we got to PP and checked into our guesthouse - it wasn't that nice but it will do after Christmas excesses. :o)
