Greetings from Phnom Pehn

Well, we made it!!  Safely at that.  Easy flights, slept alot of the way.  Hit a thunderstorm about 1 hour out of Bangkok. (what thunderstorm says Kate...she slept thru it)  Bit of turbulance, and the kwell had worn off, so I didnt cope with that so well.  It left me feeling a little under the weather for the rest of the day.  Between that and some heat and exhaustion.....Kate was complaining that I was so quiet and I think I may have kind of freaked her out.

Sarah Ardu met us at the airport, and we went and left out gear, had a drink and then went and had a look around the Russian Market, its like nothing I have ever seen before. Tight walking space, hot and smelly.  Then we went to lunch, in a little place owned by a westerner.  Air conditioning, and great service.

After lunch, I really needed some sleep, so did Sarah.......and Kate, well she was off for an adventure.  Kate walked for about 2 hours, finding some interesting things to video, including deep fried tarantulas, and the HOT Dogs (BBQ dogs heads, teeth and all).  She hopped on a moto(motorbike) to come back to Sarahs and the guy got a little lost.  She now wishes she had got video of the guy asking for directions about 6 times.  But with a little help from a map, and some good direction help, they made it.

After my sleep, I went  for a shower (I was so hot that my skin felt like it was burning), and then took off to look for Kate, not knowing that she had gone so far.  So had a bit of a look around, close by so that I didnt get lost, and got some photos of some of the locals. 

The people are so friendly, and the smiles melt you!

Hoping all is well at home.

Be Blessed!
