We're Not In Kansas Any More...

Here are a few photos of Phnom Penh that give a quick impression of the city as we saw it in out first few days. Clck on the pictures to enlarge.

Picture 1 shows the Old Market, with a couple of monks strolling by.

Picture 2 was taken at another market (at this stage we were blissfully lost, so I can't remember which one). The fresh fruit here is fabulous and abundant. It's as if it grows on trees...

This is Wat Phnom, the most important temple in the city. It's not particularly spectacular as Wats go, but has a very spiritual feeling that is rather diferent from the bustle of the rest of the city.

Last, especially for Eleanor, is a picture of the elephant at Wat Phnom.

More soon (now that we've finally got the blog to work!!). In the meantime, please don't forget the need to keep supporting VSO through our Justgiving page at www.justgiving.com/jagoteers.
