Today was a real tourist day, since we had one day for Eric to see Phnom Penh. I had spent yesterday preparing for a full day of seeing everything in Phnom Penh. I hired a Tuk Tuk driver and put together an itinerary. What could go wrong you ask?? Well, It really started off good… but… I thought I remembered the Tuk Tuk driver I hired the day before. He walked right up to us and acted like he was the ONE. He wasn’t.. He took us to the first spot and we walked around the temple. When we went to find him again, he was gone. We waited and waited but could not find him. So we hired another Tuk Tuk driver. The motorcycle was noisy, leaking, and releasing fumes, which made it difficult for us to breath. Thank goodness he was driving down the wrong side of the road and a policeman stopped him. We took this opportunity to get out of the Tuk Tuk. Now we needed to figure out how to get to the killing fields. I tried calling the Tuk T
uk driver I originally hired. When he answered, I thought he was the wrong guy because he had a different name than the one in the morning. Finally I realized that he was actually the right Tuk Tuk driver and he came and got us. Now if you are confused, it is because I am confused. How could I have been so mistaken. The guys don’t even look alike. Another Paula mistake!!! The rest of the day was busy and hot taking in all the sites. We leave tomorrow for the sea and hope it is a little cooler. Namaste
