Day 9 - Phnom Penh to Battambang - Don't leave your shoes outside or the monkeys will steal them!


Long bus trip from Phnom Penh at 9am, finally arrived at La Villa in Battambang around 2:30pm. Cute large attic style room. Battambang is the second largest city in Cambodia but it feels like a country town, nothing like Phnom Penh. Unbelievable amount of garbage around the place, the public park along the river was full of people relaxing after work, but also full of rubbish, quite disappointing to see after the neat and tidy gardens of Phnom Penh.
Spent two hours walking the town and ended up eating back at the hotel, though we did stop in to look at a local restaurant first whose main feature was a very loud singer, so loud we could hear him making strangling noises while we ate dinner back at our own hotel.
