Phnom Penh by Emma

We finally arrived in Phnom Penh (Sunday), after a 5 hour taxi ride. When we got to our new hotel, it didn't take long to unpack, then we walked down to the riverside.

There were millions of boats and people fishing. As we walked along the riverside, I spotted some men playing 'lightning'
You wont have heard of the game; I've never seen it played in the UK. We bought one of the pieces of equipment you need to play the game. If you are in Oxspring school, or are members of my family or friends, I will show you it when I get back. We had a go at it, but it is very hard to master.

We had a walk round in front of the royal palace. There were lots of little children playing with bubbles and balloons.

As we were walking to dinner, we saw a man selling hard boiled eggs from the side of his motorbike!!  On the main road we also saw a lorry stacked with loads of chairs and men sitting on top!!

When we got back to the hotel, we were allowed to have a late swim, as our pool doesn't close until 9pm.
