Stuck in traffic

We finally arrived in KL after a pretty good flight (well, for Philippa and I – we got our meal of choice).

LCCT was very quiet, we went strait through customs which was great – first time we had been through in less than an hour and we quickly got on the bus for Sentral…. All was looking good….

Then the rain started… And the lightning and thunder… Followed by gridlock on the ring-road (Friday prayers??) – needless to say, 1 and half hours later – we are still on the bus…

Only 5KM to go, at this rate we should be there in 30mins 🙂

There is a flag flying high from the castle…

What a beautiful day in sunny Phnom Penh, not to hot at about 26 deg; not how I remember it at all.

After a lazy morning watching Korean gameshows in bed, we spent the rest of the morning at the royal palace, where the king is currently in residence – unfortunately he rejected our request for an audience.

Shortly afterwards we caught up with Amy’s extended family who all travelled from the country to show us around town. We had a great afternoon eating and shopping. Philippa got a great “original” North Farce backpack for US$10.00 😉

Still don’t like squat toilets.
