Pnom Phen

Had breakfast and caught a bus from Battambong to Pnom Phen in the morning... had a bit of a head ache so was not the most pleasurable journey but was generally enjoyable... didn't eat all day so that didn't help.. I was the only white person on the bus, but every one on there was happy. Got into Pnom Phen in the afternoon and had to negotiate with a TukTuk driver to knock his price from $5 to $3 which, as I found out later, was still to much!! No matter I just wanted a place to rest and get a feed... ended up scoring a room with a hot shower.. it's been over a month since I had a hot shower, was really good.

Went down to the Vietnam Emassy to see about getting a Visa.. as I walked towards the enterence a couple of fellows in a station out the front said we can process your Visa here for you.. I handed it over just as I saw a sign behind thenm saying "Visa precessing 50m". I quickly grabbed my Visa off the fellow and said I think I will go up the road and have a look first.. they laughed and I walked away... spoke to one of the tourist Visa organizers he said they are another scam.. charge you more to process it etc.

Ran into a fellow I met in Siem Reap and he said there was a place near the guesthouses where you can get the Visa sorted for $30.. the Embassy wanted $35.. how do they do it???

I took my Visa back to the place near the guesthouse and handed it in there,, that should be 2 days by the sound.. just long enough for me to have a bit of a look around town.

Walking around for a couple of days.
