Fast Forward

The flight down here may have been short, but I feel as though I've travelled a couple of decades in terms of how much more developed Phnom Penh feels compared to Siem Reap. Lots more cars as opposed to motorbikes/scooter for a start.

The drive in from the airport was slow as we crawled along in traffic. The road infrastructure still needs to catch up.

My hotel is a little oasis near the Royal Palace. I think I can see the 'sights' of the city pretty quickly (there aren't many to be fair), so it's a good job my hotel has a nice pool to relax by!

In terms of 'sights' today I ticked off the Royal Palace, Central Market and the French Embassy.

Tonight I went for a drink at the FCC. I had a great spot with a view overlooking the Mekong river. Pretty cool. Just walking around afterwards I saw so many restaurants that I like the look of, but I'm running out of meal times! I need to chose wisely.
