Here at Last

Whew what a long time to spend in the cramped interior of an airplane! Essentially 24 hours of travel later we are in Phnom Penh. Groggy, but exceptionally well fed. Bhuntoon, our contact here picked us up at the airport and delivered us to our guest house. He has been fantastic help already and we've barely even started.

We decided to try and stay up despite our fatigue and have been wandering around the city near the National Museum. We had a fantastic lunch at Friends "The Restaurant". Then turned down something like 1000 offers for cyclo taxi rides to who knows where. Know at four oclock in the afternoon it just might be bedtime.

Tomorrow sounds like it will be a big day since we will be taking the 3 hour journey into Kep and will find out who our interpreters and drivers will be for the next week. I'm not sure how I'm going to like riding on the back of a motorcycle. I'll have to work on my ability to release control. On the other hand it is probably much safer to have somebody driving who is familiar with the total lack of comprehensible traffic rules.
