Short flight down to Phnom Penh in 70 seater turbo prop plane with only a handful of passengers. Can now see the full extent of the Tonle Sap Lake stretching out below. Arrive in rush hour - mayhem!!
Our bijou guest house (Villa Langka) seems to be on the other side of town in quiet area compared with the manic zones we drove through. Quick shower before meeting up with Chris Gow, our travel facilitator for the last 5 years. He takes us to one of his regular haunts for a keg of beer and good local nosh. Apart from the very loud karaoke style entertainment a fun time was had by all. By the time we emerged, the pre-planned tuk-tuk had long gone so hop on a handy moto (2-up) for short ride back to bed.
Just Google Earthed the lake: Cripes, 'tis bloody enormous. Amanda, what's all this about paddling?
