Day 6 - Cambodia here we come..if we can just stop the boat tilting.

Another early start, this holidaying is hard work! Piled into a cyclo and were driven to our boat for the 5 1/2 hour trip to Phnom Penh. The boat was comfortable but there was an hilarious start as they moved passengers around according to their weight. There was still a lean so they got the biggest guy to swap sides, the boat levelled, everyone laughed - he good naturedly patted his gut!

Stopped at the border crossing and we disembarked to get our visas before continuing up the Mekong.

Arrived in Phnom Penh, ambushed by cyclos and taken to our lovely hotel with our private pool.

We walked to the Royal Palace which is similar to the one in Bangkok but not as large.

Lovely meal at "Taboo", great Penang Curry and $2 gin & tonics. Cambodia is so cheap!
