We say farewell to the team

This morning we said goodbye to most of the team. Steve and Maria stayed behind, still trying to reorganise their flights to Thailand, Ben went off into Phnom Pehn to arrange cheaper accomodation until he buses to Vietnam, Colin and Adam were waiting for flights to malaysia this afternoon, but the rest of the team headed off to the airport. Smey and Andy came with us, and we had a special suprise visit from Sokhom as well.



After some tearful farewells Steve, Maria, Clinton and I said goodbye and headed back into Phnom Penh. We had heard there was a seeing Hands massage place just round the corner from our hotel. These people are all blind and organisation is endorsed by World Vision. It is an excellant way for them to make a living. Also it is as cheap as chips. A one hour massage costs $6 US. Both Clinton and I decided to get one, as we were still a bit stiff from all the riding. All was going well until they hit the Quads and Calves, OOOOWWWWEEEEEE!!! You get the option at the start, medium or strong massage. We both opted for the medium, thank God, I hate to think what the strong would have been like. We did however feel alot better after the experience and We along with Steve and Maria zoomed back to the Russian market in the afternoon.



Gas Station!!!!





Still hot and smelly, the market that is, we spent about an hour wandering around, getting some bargins and then we opted to go back to the Jars of clay cafe. So yummy. This was followed by an afternoon snoozing by the pool and a quiet night in watching the national geographic channel. It doesn't get more exciting than that!!!!
