Arrived in Phnom Penh... Just

Another very early morning and an especially tough day driving today!! We left at 7am on the dot and hit the final 70kms to Phnom Penh, and these were the craziest yet! Insane traffic all the way through with lorries, buses, cars taking over us at any given times and hundreds of large potholes along the road which made it an exceedingly bumpy ride! The scariest point of today was when a minivan of about 20 people tried to overtake us only to realise there was traffic coming the other way a bit too fast and so darted back into our lane again, only to hit our tuk tuk and push it along with them!!We were both shouting at them but they seemed completely oblivious to the fact that they were close to overturning our tuk tuk!! Eeeek!! The scenery was beautiful today though, miles and miles of rice fields, palm trees and gorgeous scenery (until we got to phnom penh when things took a slight turn for the worse!)

Anyway, we managed to make it to Phnom Penh in one piece this morning and we got a seriously good breakfast (full english = massive win after nothing but noodles and rice for 4 days!) and checked into a cheap but nice guesthouse. We went to the killing fields and S21 during the day which were absolutely horrendous but well worth seeing. Put everyone on a bit of a downder though, not very nice standing next to a tree with bones at the bottom of it which was used to smash babies heads in order to save bullets...
Now we've got back, had our first decent shower in a while and don't smell quite as bad anymore (although our costumes are getting very skanky now, but have promised to wear them til the end of the trip!!). Off for a decent steak tonight apparently which will be followed up by many a beer in order to celebrate getting half way there and which then be promptly followed by passing out in our beds until 6am tomorrow!!
