The past few days have been amazing. It feels like we've been here so much longer than three days, given all that we've seen an experienced. Stepping out of the terminal at Phnom Penh airport, we were met with sweltering heat and masses of drivers offering to take us to the city. We ended up speeding into the city on 'motos', weaving our way through the mass of motos, rickshaws, cars and trucks. It was incredibly freaky, yet so exhilarating!
We hung around in Phnom Penh for 1 1/2 days, seeing Choeung Ek, Tuol Sleng, the National Museum, Royal Palace and the silver pagoda. We even met a girl from the US, who we're now travelling around with. It's amazing how quickly and easily you meet new people while travelling.
We took a bus to Battambang (pronounced Battambong) yesterday, and took a look at some of the temples around the area and the bamboo train:
I'm amazed at how friendly the kids are. As we passed through the villages and fields on our motos, many came to wave at us and say hello. The smiles on their faces were incredible!
That's all for now. We're heading to Siem Reap by speedboat tomorrow, which will be pretty. Looking forward to seeing Angkor Wat!
