After the killing fields and prison in the morning, it was definitely time for a beer with lunch! Well two actually as they were 50USD cent each!
Must admit I am surprised how expensive Cambodia is! As they favour US dollars here, the prices seem slightly crazy compared to Thailand and Vietnam. It’s easily 3 times the price of Vietnam, more for some things!
Royal Palace
With our free time in the afternoon, Sandie and I decided to do the royal palace. As the king still lives here, there were only certain areas you could go in, and they were renovating a statue while we were there.
It was then a dash back to the hotel to get changed for the sunset cruise. I stupidly took us to the wrong place as it mentioned this very nice hotel in the description so we went there. However, it was behind the hotel, and due to loads of construction work, it meant a stressful 15-minute walk as I made us late and boat kept calling. When we arrived we realised the boat was only for G-Adventures and the other group forgave us for being late!
Was pretty cool the bridge was lit up with the Cambodian flag!
To end the evening, we went for dinner and cocktails with the guys from the boat!
