I have just said goodbye to Georgie at the airport after a fantastic 2 week holiday that went in a flash. We did everything you should do on a holiday in Cambodia; saw the incredible Angkor Wat (and other temples), ate shellfish in a shack on the beach in Sihanoukville, ran away from French crystal meth freaks trying to get us to drink some bottle of booze with snakes and scorpions pickled in it, got sick (me and Georgie), got sun burned, ate too much, drank too much, sploshed about in the gulf of Thailand, lounged around in the hotel, explored the rural villages in a tuk tuk, got rained on (RAINED on), felt bad about the poverty, drank champagne back at the hotel...
The bus back from Sihanoukville that apparently takes "a few hours" took us seven and a half hours due to flooding across Phnom Penh. For one hour we traveled about 100m. The road, pavement and every bit of space exploded into a mass of motos, everyone scrambling to find a bit of space to squeeze their way out of the city. You cannot imagine the filth of a flooded Phnom Penh.
Next week I am back off to Sihanoukville for our management retreat.
