Moved On!

Tuesday 23rd Feb
Did shopping this morning and while I was haggling Gary arranged a Tuk Tuk to take us to see the floating village. When we arrived at the jetty we found out the prices had gone up so naturally there had to be a bit more haggling (which worked!!). It was really interesting although the river is used so much by so many fast boats that the banks are getting so eroded. It really had a bit of a smell as well! There was a floating police station, clinic, shops, and a school for 250 children. We were taken to the floating restaurant where they kept a few crocodiles although I couldn't see why!
Then it was back to get a cool off in the swimming pool back in the very nice hotel. Best Hotel we have ever stayed in its perfect!

Wednesday 24th

Bus collected us and took us to the bus staion to catch the Mekong Express Coach to Phonm Penh. It took a long 6 hours and was quite hot and tiring but we are here. Hotel is good so far in the dark but there are hords of mossies!!! Just hope the Deet100 works!!!! they are even in my hair!
