• Markets and massage ..plans changed

    April 8, 2025 in Cambodia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    An early 6.30am.start in preparation for a stay at an elephant sanctuary,.I'd been emailing from the UK. They were due to collect me at 8 but by 9am.no sign and the realisation I'd no phone number..so I emailed them..It was obvious I wouldn't be going today. Hotel staff have organised a different place for tomorrow. So all is not lost
    I decided to go into town and look on the market. The tuk tuk rides are seriously good fun. I asked to be taken to a stall for clothes
    The market was very difficult as its low tourist season apparently and they all have tons of stock and are very insistent that I bought stuff . One said i had loads of money and when I said how do you know she tapped side of her nose as in ...either ....I just do...or...I can smell the money. She decided that as I'd managed to get to Cambodia I must have money
    I left the market and went in search of a drink ...unintentionally having a pina colada as I couldn't get the girl to understand..no alcohol ...At midday in the heat I began to feel the effect! And left half of it !
    Mooching on i spotted a spa and went in ...I ended up have an hour massage, an hour foot massage and an hour facial..for 30quid ...as they currently have a half price deal on ..I was given a drink of water on arrival and after the massage , drink of water and piece of mango
    There's lots of bowing goes on here too with the addition of "praying " 🙏 hands!🤦‍♀️
    Iv been to the top floor of the accommodation where there's an awesome pool. It was mega hot there tho There is also a more shaded pool on the ground floor
    Food at the accommodation is proving to be good and cheap. I also have a favorite drink of pineapple and lime...very refreshing..
    So overall not a bad day in the end
    Managed to do things that were on the list but wasn't sure how I'd fit them in as only here till the 12th April.
