River Cruise - January 6th

Though the clinic at Uncle Monk's temple was in an air-conditioned building, we were all ready for a cruise on the water back in the city. A cruise n the "Dolphin" line did the trick down the Tonle-Sap river and merged onto Mekong river for what turned out to be a wonderful two hours. We got to witness a beautiful sunset with great cut fruits, peanuts, and beer.

We are told that these boats cruise between Cambodia and Vietnam on the Mekong River.

Fruit bowl served on the cruise...pineapple, dragon fruit, and of course, watermelon.

This 5-star hotel, built by the Chinese on a peninsula between the two rivers, dwarfs everything around it. According to locals, it is only at 10 percent capacity since it went into operation 4 years ago. Look at all the swatters on the riverside.


A leisurely stroll back to the hotel was interrupted by us taking in a wedding party being photographed and dinner at a Mexican-Khmer restaurant.


This became one of our favorite restaurants in Phnom Penh
