Day Thirty two. Phnom Penh

Spent the day in our room after the move yesterday. Caught up on the washing and our new surroundings.




Afternoon TV consisted of River Monsters, Nigella, Window Warriors, and Curvy Brides. All good programs.

 Ran out of toilet paper so went to housekeeping who said that they did not supply it. Not the best place to be without any toilet paper, so when Heidi got home we visited the supermarket for some and Dorito chips. We walked down our side street to a restaurant called the Sesame Noodle and ate vermicelli with chicken and salad.







 Back in our room we showered and settled in with our chips to watch TV.

Day Thirty-one. Moving Day.

We packed our last bits and pieces and sat outside by the pool till our tuk-tuk arrived to take us to Queen Mansion. Arrived at a lovely clean room on the fifth floor with spectacular views out over the rooftops of Phnom Penh. We will enjoy our time here I am sure. 





 There was a rooftop pool on the sixteenth floor.


At night it looked magical.





I spent many a happy hour up on the roof away from the crowds enjoying writing, relaxing and taking photos.

 We spent our time unpacking and stayed in after going down the street for lunch as Heidi was unwell. Walked down the street to a small Chinese crepe shop and had a wonderful meal of egg fried rice and a vegetable crepe. 


We brought half of it back home as it was too large to finish, so we ate the rest for dinner with some two-minute noodles after visiting our new supermarket. We now have one at either end of our street which is very handy if we come back from any direction. We were very tired after our moving day so went to bed and fell asleep in front of Fake or Fortune, the art show.

What I loved about Cambodia
