Lee n Tan

We packed our bags, had some brunch and hopped on the pickup bus about 12. The trip took 6 hours, so we arrived in Phnom Penh around 6.30pm. We had arranged with Kedi for his brother to pick us up, so when we hopped off the bus he was holding a sign with our names on it….great service! He took us to Royal Guest House and we checked straight in, he had wanted to take us to a couple of others but the room was good for $13US, so we took it. We had a shower and a lie down then went for a walk to get something to eat.

We have never been in such a dirty city!!! People think Bangkok is dirty (we actually don’t) but his place is appalling. Along each street there is a huge pile of rubbish on the side waiting to be picked up. When it does (we think every day) there is a lot left behind as it is just in basic plastic bags and some of it is just thrown on the pile. So the guys doing the garbage round cannot pick up every little piece and the roads are not guttered properly so there is no chance of a street sweeper!!

We found a pub to have dinner and then walked back to the room. We have booked CK (Kedi’s brother) for 9am tomorrow to take us round some of the sites.
