July 17th we needed an ark…..
Not gonna lie, we could have used an Ark the last three days. The rain has been a non stop deluge of miserableness. Is that even a Word? The monsoons started the second we rented motorbikes and has not stopped since. Our one attempt at going out on the bikes in Spite of the rain ended with me making a face and then saying, let’s end this now. Pic forthcoming (maybe)
We did find solace in happy hour at the fish market on more than one evening. Where else can you get three mango daquiries and 6 beers for $12.75????
We had breakfast at Rusty Keyhole 2 this morning. I had a BLT and Troy had bacon and eggs. Cost a whopping $9. Which is pricey breakfast to be sure, but we just couldn’t face a 10 minute dash in the rain to get to Mary’s for the $3.50 big breakfast.
We are currently waiting for the car and driver Landon arranged for us to get back to Phnom Penh. To be truthful (again) the drive is not something to look forward to. Esp with the rain. He should be here around noon, and will drop us at the airport for our 5pm flight to Hanoi. We change planes in Vientiane (which is in Laos). We should arrive in Hanoi a little after 9pm.
So hopeful for better weather than we’ve been having……
