Hello, Tuk Tuk?




Lauren and I rented a tuk tuk for the day to drive us around Phnom Penh. Once again, the heat was intense but we took it like men (kinda) and saw many of the sites around this developing city. Our first stop was the Genocide Museum which I'll explain in a separate post. After a nice lunch, we toured the Royal Palace which held many cool buildings and included a few nice buddhas dressed up in over 5000 diamonds. In between we stopped by the Russian market where Lauren bought mangosteens. They are a ton cheaper here than in the US (you should tell your brother Jeanne). Our day ended with a cool passion fruit mint caiprioska in the FCC overlooking the Mekong River sunset.
