Ok, on our list of must-do activities was riding in Tuk-Tuks... so we can check that one off after tonight! Kevin did the all-important negotiation for the group, and got our price from a whopping $5 to $3 for the group. And what a cool way to travel - but it's WAY better to ride in the front seats so you face backwards and can't see the five million cars, motorcycles, amd bikes that are careening around in front of your vehicle. It's like being in the middle of a video game except YOU are one of the little objects about to get zapped!
We also felt it was critical that we eat dinner at the only MEXICAN restaurant in Phnom Penh which, Gabi assured us, would be delicious. Needless to say we're all getting a little burnt out on RICE, and were ready for a taste from home. SO, we tuk-tukd (hmm, is that a verb??) to The Cantina. Kris (one of the Massage Regulars), Nary and Gabi in pic above. It was great, and wonderful to see the Mekong riverfront area at night. (though there were a few hefty-looking rats skittering along the banks)..
We're headed to Kampon Chhnang province tomorrow to take donated supplies to a small regional hospital there. Heading to bed now!
Oh, so far everyone has had some variation of the Tourista except Nancy C. and me....I'm sucking down prophylactic Pepto and eating vegetarian.. Keeping fingers crossed!
Very cool to read. You're all a bunch of angels!
