Back in Phnom Penh

Hi All,
Today we left Sihanoukville and got the bus back to Phnom Penh. We had a really relaxing couple of days down on the coast but the beaches weren't what we were expecting. They say it is the Costa Del Sol of Cambodia but we didn't think so. We think the bad weather had damaged a fair bit of the beach strip and many bars looked as though they'd been flooded. Fortunately we had a great hotel and pool!
Tomorrow we catch the boat down the Mekong River to Chau Doc (Vietnam) and then plan to get a bus across to Hoi Chi Minh City to start our Vietnam adventure.
It was really lovely to speak to the families on Sunday and we can't believe a month has already flown by! The next post will include pictures we promise. There is quite a high risk of bag snatching in the cities and haven't had the camera as much as we should.
Lots of Love
