Day 3 - Phnom Penh

The capital of Cambodia. Getting here was a horrid experience for me given the bumpy ride and my fear of flying! But, been here just 4 hours and already love the place. We're staying at a lakeside hostel - our triple room (for two) costing $5. We're not going to be bankrupted here. That's if the locals don't get their way of course - the amazing deal on the room was immediately followed by an offer of a bag of weed the size of a crisp packet for $25. At five times the value of the room (but still good value, I've heard) you can see why the accomodation's so cheap. The place is nice. No a/c and 35C heat could be uncomfortable tonight but going budget is always fun. Fi should be here tomorrow coming down from Siemreap, having been to Angkor Wat. It's all land travel from here up to Hanoi, so at least any turbulent journeys will be close to the ground..!
