Leg 10: the Penh is mightier than the moored

It became apparent that the proposed trip to Sen Monorom in Mondulkiri was not going to be on the cards. The main reason? The wet has started and, according to one source, cranes are already being employed to lift cars over the flooded parts of the road. So rather than Sen Monorom, to Phnom Penh it was.

Leg 10: Kratie-Phnom Penh (in green).

This morning EL and I visited the Russian Embassy to submit visa applications for a future jaunt. Unwittingly, we had purchased a loaf of bread on the way to the embassy. This left us in the embarrassing situation of sitting in the Russian embassy foyer with a loaf of bread perched on the coffee table as we completed paperwork.

The report on the farewell drinks in Phnom Penh is probably best left to those which can speak a thousand words (below). It was an eventful night.
