The Trek to Phnom Penh
Although it's a cheap and short plane ride away from Siem Reap, we opted to take a boat to Phnom Penh to get a feel for the country. As it happens, we got more of a feel than we bargained for. If you don't reserve an actual seat on this particular boat, it turns out, you ride on the roof--which, it turns out, isn't actually designed to hold people. You live; you learn. That day we learned how to balance on a slippery convex surface, and to wear sun block when exposed to bright sun for five hours on open water. The only real casualty of the day was a roll of film containing some pictures of Siem Reap and the trek to the boat.
The foreigners on the upper deck (note to Star Trek fans: I think the guy in the sunglasses is Q).
Fortunately we came loaded with fresh dragon fruit--prettier than it tastes, but filling.
