J & J tour free day.

After the extreme heat and humidity of yesterday, J & J opted out of today's visit to Tonle Sap lake and some local villages in favour of some free time to do some market browsing in town. Had a lovely day interacting with locals at the shops and market.

A tuk-tuk into town is $3US one way, so return would be $6 . The concierge called a tuk-tuk into the hotel front. We discussed with our driver - $8 would get us a tour, a visit to some of his brother and sister's shops and a visit to the market and a return ride.

All his brother and sister's shops had lovely merchandise - silk, carvings, jewellery, rugs - a lovely necklace, $3,000!

So nice to find the market prices a lot better. Nike Tee shirts just USD$4. Sonia McMahon trousers $7. They even stocked tourist big-bum sizes!

Our tuk-tuk was parked across the street with our driver minding our bags - he even came over, took a bag from me and took it back to the tuk-tuk. Tip of $2 well deserved.

Decided to cool off back at the hotel for lunch at 1.15pm - comfort food - club sandwich with fries 😘. Lovely iced coffee to finish off.Baca selengkapnya
