Last days in Cambodia

Today is our last day in Phnom Penh before we head down the Mekong into Vietnam, we had a few lazy days doing nothing at all after Toby left except for last night after dinner we got in a tuk tuk to come come back to our guesthouse and just after we got in and commented on how nice this particular tuk tuk was he crashed the bugger straight into a parked car… He managed to smash the car up a treat but us and him were completely unharmed and without a scratch and the poor fellow even had the goodness to sort us another tuk tuk before dealing with his boo boo. This morning we planned to spent a few hours at Naca orphanage so we picked up some books, pencils and a big sack of rice before we went. We got there and straight away the little children were all over the tuk tuk and pulling us in to watch their dance they were putting on, and to laugh at my facial peircings!.. We played with the kids and they loved fiddling with the cameras and when I showed them a video on my phone of us sledging back in England they formed a crowd and watched it about 50 times!!! Georgie got crowded by a bunch of little girls reading to her and playing with her hair. It was a lovely few hours and really nice to be able to help although im sure they would appreciate a sack of toys more… They all posed for pictures from the people running the place all in their little costumes and generally run about making noise and being little children which is quite a rare thing out here, most children you see are trying to sell books or postcards on the streets some are still out at 11 o’çlock at night… We stayed for most of the morning and im sure Georgie would have stayed all day if she could but they were all busy with their play and we crept away back to Okay guesthouse to sort things out for tomorrow and get ready to get back on the road again. From Saigon to Hanoi will be the longest we have travelled yet and we only have 30 days to do it in so maybe for the next month at least it will be a bit more “travelling”…
