A pretty uneventful day today with another early rise
Most of the day was taken up with a bus ride, this one was actually a double decker and actually had the advertised toilet on board, although access required you to be the size of Richard Hammond.
The trip into Phnom Penh was pretty uneventful and after looking at a place to stay that was actually sinking into the lake at Boeng Kak (Seriously, floors warped and walls falling down) we went into town and found an awesome place called Fancy Guesthouse.
The fellow that owns it directed us up to a place called friends for Dinner, this place is doing brilliant things for Cambodian youngsters! They take in kids off the streat, teach them how to cook and work in hospitality and then most of them are employed by big cafes, restaurants and hotels around here, the same group also does a lot of work around Phnom Penh with getting kids off the street and off drugs.
We're heading off to S-21 and the Killing Fields tommorrow, expecting a pretty chilling day.
