Jen here. Thanks for all the well wishes. I am feeling much better
now. My strength had to be back to explore this great city, we’ve
walked miles. We have seen the royal palace & pagodas (see photo),
national museum, numerous wats and today hired a tuk tuk & it’s driver
for the morning to visit the killing fields & associated Khmer Rouge
prison (S21). Very sobering, especially as we knew very little about
any of it before we came here.
Tomorrow we catch the 6.45am bus to HCMC in Vietnam. It’s non-stop but
so interesting. Can’t wait to see the next place!
Love to all xx

Just arrived in Phnom Penh (Cambodia’s capital city). The bus journey
from Sihanoukville took about 4 hours and was pretty uneventful. It
did give us a great chance to watch the countryside whisk past and see
all the paddy fields, water buffalo and roadside markets.
Jen had a nasty bout of food poisoning yesterday but she is on the
mend now as she has just finished off a sandwich and coke in a very
posh coffee house that is in the photo below. Didn’t expect this is
Cambodia!
We have found a really nice guest house in the centre of the city and
plan to spend the next few days exploring the sights.

Just got a few minutes on a PC to let you know we’re still here and about to head off to Phnom Penh for 3 daysย and then onto Hoh Chi Minh City in Vietnam.ย Sihanoukville has been a bit mad as it’s been the tail end of Chinese New Year but thankfully it’s quieter now!
